Earlier I replied to this tweet about West Ham after seeing an internal email that has said poppies are banned from academy shirts this weekend.
I’ve since been contacted by the club directly. It turns out it’s written by a new employee, who has misrepresented the club. This was not the case. West Ham have not banned the poppy. Every home fixture, including foundation and academy matches will hold a minute’s silence, and the first team will wear poppies on their shirts and lay wreaths before the game to honour the fallen. Nothing has changed from what they do every year.
Fair play to West Ham for clearing it up. See you all tomorrow for Burnley. Bosh⚒️❤️

This is not protest, it is pure violence.
We will have a standing army of public duty officers.
We will ramp up criminal justice.
We will apply criminal law online as well as offline.
We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.
The scenes of disorder and violence yesterday evening were completely unacceptable. There is no place for criminality on our streets and I fully support the Met police taking action against those intent on violence, causing disorder and spreading division in our city.
What kind of country are we if a Muslim being kicked in the head causes more outrage than a native solider in uniform at his army barracks being butchered & stabbed 70 times in front of his wife by an immigrant?
As migrants riot in Leeds.
Bangladeshis are also rioting in one of the biggest Muslim ghettos in Whitechapel, London.
Their reason? Police shot a Bangladeshi, in Bangladesh!
Let that f*cking sink in.
