Mr Hawkes. Perhaps check your facts; I don't and never have lived in West Putney.

Have I ever claimed to be an expert on racism in football; a sport I haven't followed for several decades? No expert as I say but I did stop following it because because of all the news reports about racism. I assume campaigns such as the Premier League's "No Room For Racism," the "Kick It Out" organization, "Show Racism the Red Card," and FIFA's "Global Stand Against Racism" arose because there was no racism?

I do consider moves to remove the UK from the ECHR undemocratic. I see Oxford University has a report examines ten reasons to stay in the ECHR as UK public backs membership:

Surely, as a football fan, don't you consider justice for the Liverpool fans at Hillsborough is reason enough to show the value of keeping the ECHR - unless one wants an authoritarian government like Russia or Belarus ...

A better move would be an update and improvement on convention?

Antisemitism is to be condemned whether it's Green, Reform or any other party members. I'm sure many scientists and campaigners at Greenpeace are concerned about the distraction from climate issues, as they must be by what seems to be Reform's support of fossil fuels. (Incidentally, another fact check- Greenpeace UK isn’t a charity because some of its campaigns do strays into political area - although there is a charitable trust for funding some research,  investigations, surveys, etc which are obviously non political. )

Farage was wrong about Brexit- feel free to list the benefits - but there seems to be a general consensus it's f***ed the UK's economy and polls indicate there's a view we shouldn't have left the EU ... so why would anyone trust him?
