Police investigate Crystal Palace fans' banner criticising Newcastle football club's Saudi Arabian deal

Listed on a picture of a clipboard under the headline 'Premier League Owners Test' were 'Terrorism, beheading, civil rights abuses, murder, censorship and persecution'.Palace fan group Holmesdale Fanatics has taken credit for the banner - displayed during the 1-1 draw between the clubs on Saturday - on Twitter, and issued a statement.

"To give the thumbs up to this deal at a time when the Premier League is promoting the women's game and inclusive initiatives such as rainbow armbands, shows the total hypocrisy at play and demonstrates the league's soulless agenda where profits trump all." When approving the takeover, the Premier League said it had received legal assurances from the new owners that the Saudi state would not control Newcastle United and there would be penalties if it was proved otherwise.Croydon Metropolitan Police have released a statement on Twitter, which says: "On Saturday 23 October police received a report of an offensive banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans.

Yep, the same Saudi's who funded the terrorists of 9/11 (NY) & 7/7 (London). So the Brits now like rich Muslim terrorists and associates.

क्लू है बम्बई! जय सनातन ।

Would that be the Free Speech Police - or the one's turning a blind eye to government corruption?

Someone's going to disappear 🤔

Why?! Haven’t they got anything better to do?

Most of what was painted on the banner appears to be pretty accurate if the MSM are to be believed

Media use of the word ‘investigate’ is up there with all other words the media conjure up.

What's to investigate?

Police investigating after Palace fans display banner at Newcastle match guardian URL changed on article ?

The banner has a point

I thought the police were over worked and understaffed.. but find time for this nonsense.. unbelievable..

So Man city and Newcastle fans don't mind the blood money

Money talks as they say.

Wasters, solve some real crime

What happened to 'free speech' or do we have a police state now?

Are they investigating the 'alleged offences by the Saudi Arabia regime'?

Police should look at it for 30 seconds and say 'No offence committed here' and chastise the person reporting for wasting their time. It is not an offence to criticise a tyrannical regime. If it is, what does that make US?

How about they investigate proper crime?

First Israel and now Saudi Arabia. You can't even criticise brutal dictatorships without being arrested in this country anymore.

The police only investigate for the rich. The rest of have to wait and wait and wait.

Forth Valley Police sorry for 'victim blaming' drinking adviceForth Valley Police's social media post on safe drinking followed reports that women had been spiked using needles. Getting drunk makes you vulnerable to predators for obvious reasons…not sure what the issue is. What a load of tosh. If anyone doesn’t understand how alcohol makes them less safe, they shouldn’t drink to excess. No, it doesn’t mean you should be taken advantage of criminally, but you choose what you imbibe and how much is YOUR responsibility
