The government in the U-K declined to comment last night after their Home Secretary was accused of stoking racial hatred.

Tyrone Mings criticised Priti Patel after she attempted to condemn the racial abuse of a number of England players.

Mings pointed to Patel's description of taking the knee as "gesture politics", claiming she previously emboldened racists by refusing to condemn them.
