The Bradford incident. He removed the videos when he realized that it was offensive and apologised. I have no problem with that.

I can't comment on Harvey Price. I haven't got a clue what he's on about.

His political views, unless they are hate speech, are his views and I don't have a problem with. Although I suspect I would be very much opposed to them.

His criticism of the rugby is a view he is entitled to hold and express.

He certainly has a point, even if he didn't see it, that if complaints are made about him he should be informed immediately. It is simply unfair to hit anyone with a back log of complaints.

However Newport County football club have a reputation to keep. They also have a large number of children who follow the club. For anyone to involve the club with sex toys in the mouths of adults is clearly behaving in a manner which is grossly offensive. He is unfit to act as a volunteer at Newport County. In my view the club had no option but to ask him to stand down.

he has a history of sharing right wing material online. tommy robinson/Stephen yaxley lennon, nigel farage etc, i'm surprised the club didn't act sooner given the code of conduct that has come to light.

Blimey clearly an extremist to the left here.
Anybody who supported or voted in the past for Nigel Farage needs removing forthwith.
That one point is totally daft.
Regardless of anything else

I think the point is not whether you agree with people's political views but rather do people have a right to express views with which others would take exception. My view is that unless there is an incitement to hatred then freedom of speech is paramount.

We are all County at the end of the day and we all have our own beliefs but I don't think many UK clubs would want a representative publicly posting about the likes of Tommy Robinson on Facebook (If true). The man is a f****** spanner and people like him go against what modern football clubs are trying to eradicate
