Police investigating banner held at Crystal Palace criticising Newcastle United takeover

Police are investigating a banner unveiled by a section of the Crystal Palace support before Saturday afternoon’s draw with Newcastle United at Selhurst Park.

The Saudi Arabian-led takeover of the Tyneside club has caused controversy due to the human rights issues in the country and a graphic banner was held up in the Holmesdale End of the ground before kick-off.

A post from the official Croydon Metropolitan Police Twitter account read: “On Saturday 23 October police received a report of an offensive banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans.

An offensive banner? Saudi is an offensive state.

Retaliation against China is exactly what the world doesn’t need

Call me faint-hearted but it strikes me as a bad idea to deliberately stir up trouble against a country armed with nuclear weapons.

So it’s ominous to hear the rattling of sabres by Canadians trying to push Ottawa towards punitive action against China for its detention of two Canadians called Michael.

China is an authoritarian, repressive country and its long detentions of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were cruel and wrong; it’s wonderful the two men are finally free.

But the animus being stirred up against it is reckless and dangerous, and seems aimed at backing U.S. efforts by both the Trump and Biden administrations to isolate China and push back against its rising economic and technological power and the challenge this poses to U.S. hegemony.

The tweet linked to an article at ShareAmerica, the State Department’s “platform for communicating American foreign policy worldwide.”

Pigs have been the most recent research focus to address the organ shortage, but a sugar in their cells, which is foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene-edited animal, engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an immune system attack.
