Yorkshire cricketers taking legal advice ahead of Azeem Rafiq's evidence to MPs about 'institutional racism'The former all-rounder will have the protection of parliamentary privilege when he addresses the DCMS select committee from 9.30am, meaning he is free to name names without worrying about legal reprisals. ❤ Well, that's lovely. Shame the same people wetting themselves over the alleged name calling of adults who could have physically reacted against such alleged insults at the time, do not and have not reacted to the ongoing assault of young girls in the same part of the country. If you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen then you shouldn’t be in it, are we to be charged for calling the French “Froggies” the Germans “Huns or Krauts”, or the Italians “Eyeties”, and Americans “Yanks”, where will this nonsense of appeasement end. I’m a BRIT and proud of it.
