Fair play some thought went into that.
 
The report says the police are investigating the banner. What is there to investigate? Why is the banner racist? It’s the chilling truth of Saudi Arabia.

Welcome to Tory Britain.

The Tories have too much invested in Saudi Arabia, literally and personally. They always turn a blind eye where their pals and profit are concerned and will leap to defend them.

There’s a couple articles on line featuring the same story and a few quotes from Palace fans, to be fair they’ve raised some really important issues in respect of the purchase, the “fit and proper test” and how it fits in to the diversity strategy. Some of the people involved in British football are warm as toast,
 
Congratulations to the Palace fans. I hope that they'll lend that banner to every other club that plays there.
 
Apologies for my ignorance here as I have no idea on the backgrounds of any of the respective owners, but how come there isn't a big fuss about Man City's? I don't recall there ever being uproar over them.
 
No police action to be taken

They are mainly from Abu Dhabi which doesn't appear to have human rights issues on anywhere near the same level as the Saudis. They do still have the death penalty.
