Or maybe ban the supporters who are so furiously homophobic that they are liable to lose their shit over a flag.
Tottenham have asked fans to remove an LGBT+ flag from the North stand for tonight's game
Slavia Prague made the request over "security concerns", suggesting their fans could target it. Understand Spurs initially pushed back but have relocated it to SW-corner

The "allegations" concerning Bloom are common knowledge within the football and gambling worlds and have been for years. Pathetic, profoundly misjudged reaction from BHAFC, who should ready themselves for this to blow in their faces.

I first interviewed Norris before his first season in F3 back in 2017. I thought his answers were pretty mature for a 17-year-old.
Drove like a champion today and is a great ambassador for F1 with all his work in mental health. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.
Get fucked.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

We should defend the values and effort at accuracy of the BBC in a Trumpian world of wilful inaccuracy and hypocrisy, but this seems on the face of it to be an excessive response to a politically motivated attack

Don’t think talk radio is a barometer of anything but this feels authentic & quietly horrifying.
This wife talking about her husband becoming radicalised by Farage and those like him really is quite extraordinary in its heartbreaking understatement.
"He absolutely wanted it to be [a terrorist attack]. The grin on his face. He wanted an I-told-you-so."
