“I know a lot of that has come from abroad, that people who track those things have been able to explain that, but not all of it. It’s just not what we stand for. We have been a beacon of light in bringing people together in people being able to relate to the national team, and the national team stands for everybody and so that togetherness has to continue.

".and it wasn’t long ago that a government report said that there was no racist issue"
no it did not, that is
misinformation
It stated: Britain is a model for race relations and inequality between different ethnic groups may be caused by other factors.
The report concludes that while
Britain is not a “post-racial society”, the success of ethnic minorities in education and the economy should be a “beacon” for other white-majority countries.
However, the Commission also makes clear that it does not believe Britain is a “a post-racial society” and that “overt and outright racism persists in the UK”, in particular online.
