Who knows. Who cares frankly.
People in England need to realise that they are still free to take the mickey out of Hitler whenever they wish. If we forget the significance of this, even dare I say it, punish it, we are turning our backs on the millions of this countrys' elders and its allies, millions of whom lost their lives in WW2.
They lost their lives defending the freedom that Hitler was attacking. Hitler was an extreme leader who if he had won would have made this place very different today.
They gave us lot the freedom on this island to do what we have done with it. OK question that, and all the mamby pamby snowflake approach that we have created and accepted, but dont ever forget what gave us that opportunity.
They lost their lives in really grim circumstances where only the luckiest toughest survived. Where people were awarded honour for bravery for stabbing loads of jerries through the heart with their bayonets. Where millions were blown to smithereens by grenades and bombs. Dont ever let this be forgotten. These were fit young men like many I see at the Palace regularly. Many of them Teenagers and early twenties.
So to refer to taking the michael out of Hitler as abhorrent is someone who either skipped history classes at school, is too young to have been told the truth at school, or who is not from these shores and therefore should not be commenting so negatively on such a sensitive issue.
Lets have a little respect for the ancestors of this country who gave up their lives for its current residents. And feel free to knock their enemy whenever you wish.
If the FA had punished Wayne god only knows what would have kicked off.
Why else do you think the hearing was delayed???

An interesting post, but the bit I've highlighted isn't correct. The vast majority of WW2 combatants survived, not just the luckiest toughest. For example between 3% and 4% of British servicemen in WW2 were killed. Even in WW1, approximately 8 out of 9 British soldiers survived ie about 11% died.

Are you sure that's 'combatants' who actually saw combat? I imagine that statistic changes if you made it to an active theatre of war.

According to wiki, 383,700 military deaths. If that was 3% that would mean 12,790,000 serving in army, navy & raf, wiki indicates the army had 2.9 million served in WW2. So 3% looks wrong.

I didn't say 3% - 4% of combatants survived, I said servicemen. The statistic will no doubt be higher for combatants, but I still maintain that the vast majority of combatants (rather than the toughest, luckiest) survived, otherwise British deaths would have been measured in millions.

It is wrong, as is the figure for WW1. It's miles off.

2.2 million British men where conscripted and 750,000 died. It's a f***ing massive percentage.
Including serious injury the total casualties were 1.5 million, so you had well over a 50/50 chance of either dying or being blown up.

Sorry Chris an others; I was quoting a bum figure. It was approx TEN per cent in WW2. The approx 11 per cent for WW1 was correct.

I will now don my coat.

No issues YT, just shooting the breeze so to speak.

It's an interesting area.

Can we have a campaign for 'Enough' virtue signalling?

Apparently not......To be fair to Hennessey, all those that have something big to lose cuck.....he's no different. He's looking for any 'good boy' points he can find because that's a big income to protect. So what's putting your name to a overly dramatic campaign if it's against abuse from the stands. I can't think many of us are actually for it.

Still, the memes are pretty funny.

I've heard it's when you're involved in racing.

Interesting tweet a few mins ago from Palace fans of Polish extraction (who stand in the Arthur) offering to pay for WH's visit to auschwitz-birkenau.
