Views from the Sieve

I just want to ask others what they think of Man City's Touré being the subject of racist abuse as reported on the Beeb this week. Will this ever go away and what can we do about it? That is as individuals or collectively.

Not aware of the Toure story (Will google it) however twitter,facebook and all social media allow for imbeciles to say whatever the ****** they want.Problem is footballers spout off on an hourly basis on twitter and provoke others quite freely so unfortunately they have to get off it altogether if they don't want cranks and wierdos upsetting them with opposing views or abuse.

Im sure its an offence,racism on social network so it may be possible to track people down but is that really a responsible way to spend public money ??

Not condoning it but aren't people too easily offended these days ??
