Pretty well listed all the allegations against MBS and his cronies relating to the Kashoggi murder and other rights abuses, which have been levelled by the majority of Western intelligence agencies. Personally, given that there is no realistic prospect of MBS ever being put on trial, I don't see why Palace supporters, like the rest of us, should not be free to express their opinion. If the Premier League and the FA object to this sort of banner then they should have operated a sensible owners and directors test instead of the travesty of a test that they currently have.

How can the Police get involved with that?
Priti Patel will be along shortly to outlaw banners at football grounds.

Well done to the Palace fans who made that banner and the Holmsdale statement.... The PL sheer hypocrisy knows no bounds. Money always outweighs their virtue signalling principles

It’s similar to the sort of comic you’d get in David Squires articles.
A bit of satire.
What a waste of police time and resource.

I've just Googled it and I'm stumped to see how it could be classed as being racist.
This country has gone absolutely bat shit crazy.

It’s disturbing that racism is being used as a cover to protect this regime. It’s a political act by the police and a very dangerous development imposing censorship of free speech. We are getting closer to the China model every day.

If its racist then Private Eye and any satirical cartoon needs banning immediately. This is about the public display of an opinion at a football ground. The "faceless" complainant should have been sent packing, unfortunately this is entirely the kind of bollocks where the police use Section 5 public order to stop almost anything happening.

Your response makes no sense… Who’s/what’s not white? David Squires? The guardian? The Police? The Fans? The Owners? The banner colour?

Never seen banners up against Man City's equally questionable owners. The whole sport washing thing is a disgrace but it just seems to be Newcastle who are being targeted.

My guess would be that the Police are "taking this seriously" because the complaints have been made by representatives of the Saudi regime...money talks and in the UK it talks louder than many other western states
Football is shot unless these people are forced out- so well done Palace.If they are prosecuted I would certainly financially contribute to defence fund

I think it is more likely the PL take some action against Palace which would put them in an even worse light, the PL that is.

My guess is the police have to get involved as a complaint has been made. Nothing will come of it and you can all wring your knickers out you bunch of fannies!

Common sense seems to have gone out of policing. I’ll be interested to see who the complainant was and there reasons as the banners pretty factual. Police have to investigate any allegation let’s hope they fire this off very very quickly.

Excellent from the Crystal Palace fans. I hope it continues in all the grounds of the country. These fucking despicable pieces of shit from SA need to know what is really thought of them.
