As England’s football team scales the heights, how many of its fans will be plumbing the depths?
Try to take this in:
“If England get beaten, so will she.
“Domestic violence increases 26% when England play, 38% if they lose.”
At a time when the England squad and its manager are winning universal praise for the examples they are setting – in leadership, against racism, and for any number of grassroots causes that, frankly, shame the UK’s fascist government, it shames the entire nation that so-called supporters are likely to respond like this.
It could be argued that people who inflict domestic violence on others are going to do it, no matter what the stimulus – but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
This Writer is no expert on what is to be done, so in the run-up to a match where tension will be at its highest for 55 years, and nerves are likely to be frayed to their limits, I can only echo the advice on the image:
“For help with a protective injunction text ‘NCDV’ to 60777 or call 0800 970 2070.”
If anybody has better or alternative suggestions, please send them in to the comment column.
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
