Hugh Laidlaw, 50, posted offensive image and comments aimed at black footballers who missed penalties in England’s defeat
A man has been fined and given a suspended prison sentence after sending a “hateful and racist” post aimed at the black footballers who missed penalties in England’s Euro 2020 final defeat.
Hugh Laidlaw, 50, posted an offensive image and comments soon after the July 2021 shootout on the Metal Detecting UK Facebook page. Other online users were so offended that they alerted police, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
