It appears likely that those who were collared at Reading were detained for anti-English racist chanting. If so, it's not before time that those who indulge in that abuse are brought to book because for too long such behaviour has been appeased by those who deliberately underplay it by suggesting it's a harmless wind-up of opposition supporters and can be dismissed as innocent banter.

We are all familiar with the typical profile of the ignorant Anglophobes. Almost without exception they are low IQ smelly types who have been allowed to continue and proliferate to spread their poisonous invective.

Let's make it clear to those boneheads that in 2020 it is equally unacceptable to spew insults at those of English ethnicity as it is to those of all other backgrounds. Morally, and in UK law for over 20 years due to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, there's no legal distinction between mouthing, as an example: "you dirty English bastards" as "you dirty Pakistani bastards", etc, etc.

Identify those who do, root them out, insist they are prosecuted and demand the club ban them for life.
