To help to prosecute people when they racially abuse footballers or anyone. Thank
Because racism should not be tolerated in our society anymore we are a world with many different human race and should all be treated equally.

Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons.
