And Bruce has "left by mutual consent".
Least it wasn`t in portions in body bags.........
Wonder who will be lured by the money to sip from the poison chalice?

This banner that Palace fans had at the weekend for their game against Newcastle is being investigated as a "hate crime"....................

really? ..... freedom of speech and all that? .... though ground regs .... section 8.2 ( of OUFC ground regs- presumably 'standard' in English football at all levels*) probably apply? .... though who deems what is or isn't 'offensive', and where they get their authorisation to make such subjective decisions is an additional subject of contention (IMO)This banner that Palace fans had at the weekend for their game against Newcastle is being investigated as a "hate crime"....................

"On Saturday 23 October, police received a report of an offensive banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans," Croydon Metropolitan Police said on Twitter.
"Officers are assessing the information and carrying out enquiries. Any allegations of racist abuse will be taken very seriously."
Freedom of speech is off the radar in Croydon it seems................ never knew Saudi Arabia was a "race" thought it was a country, hey ho.

Until someone is charged, it's only being investigated

You are forgetting one key point though. It's upsetting someone who is very rich, so of course it must be investigated to the fullest extent of the law. Wouldn't want to jeopardise those arms deals now would we.
Regardless of freedom of speech, I am genuinely interested in how this can be perceived as racist?
It is stating allegations that are often made against the Saudi state.
What is being investigated?
Does it take our overworked police long to investigate whether a banner is against the law?

‘Freedom of speech’ isn’t as simple as that, it has limits. If I exercised my freedom of speech to incite racial violence, I would rightly be investigated and likely charged.
That said, I see nothing wrong with that very accurate banner.

And the Police have a responsibility to investigate if a complaint is made.

There, all done with - someone complained, the police looked into and decided no offence was committed. If only everything were that easy!

No police action on Palace fans' banner
Police say no further action will be taken after a banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans targeted the Saudi Arabian-led takeover of Newcastle United.
