Universal condemnation

[various replies to ignorant racism of Nuneaton woman seeing American Football team and assuming they were asylums seekers and a threat to her ] Hi all. I am the General Manager of the London Warriors Urban American Football Program. I can confirm that is us, we stayed at the Holiday Inn last night ahead of our game against Bristol at Butts Park Arena this afternoon. We were outside the hotel as we'd just arrived then we gathered as a team to walk through our game plan. Unfortunately we see attitudes like this far too often, however thank you for everyone who has spoken up against this kind of hate. Claire as soon as you state you're not a racist with a rambling idiotic paragraph, it means you're a racist. __---- Funny, I'm also a mother & I don't see a different color skin & think omg the Apparently !!!!!!!!! is what You might be a mother, but you're also a fucking moronic piece of shit __--- Winner of today's award for things that didn't go quite the way you'd planned!!! __--- What an absolute mouth breather __---- what a knobhead 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm not a racist but = I'm a racist but I try to hide it behind motherhood.

really roasted racist

Rob Smith Hi Claire, much like the London Warriors, I am also involved in an American Football Team that likes to go on away trips on busses to complete our fixture list. We have a few people of various ethnicities too. Do you want me to give you a quick heads up every time we all start travelling as a big group and stopping off in places, so you can start shagging your flag, you big racist freak? Amanda Young I haven't seen this level of blatant racism in quite a while, and I'm from Atlanta. How embarrassing for you.

Those two are *chef's kiss* but the original post and the attacks on the hotel are a shocking indictment of the state of the country.

She made the news - and a huge mess Nuneaton Holiday Inn Express sets record straight on 'terrifying' immigrants lie The untrue claims spread across the country "The phone rang off the hook, we had people wanting to cancel their rooms from Sussex to Lancashire.

Not quite Lucy Connolly bad, but whoever stirred this up needs a visit from the local constabulary, or maybe a lawsuit for damages (excess costs incurred) from the hotel owner...

She's probably desperate for the knock at the door. Guarantees her a place at Reform '26 so she can meet her heroes after all...

Re. visit from the police: absolutely not. No matter how vile, there was no incitement to violence; the line Connolly crossed. Re. lawsuit from Holiday Inn: it would be a bonus, but I suspect it wouldn’t get far. I doubt there are any sanctions that can be enforced. Shame, really.

They might not want to stay in a hotel that risks being set on fire by racist thugs?

This is so disgusting. I am so embarrassed for this country as I really believe we are better than this. The government need to start condemning this racism because at the moment those "proudly" hanging the St George flag are the same people who would have hung the Swastika from lampposts in Germany
