The point remains though that we cannot allow subsequent developments to ‘cloud’ the wrongdoing at Yorkshire and elsewhere.
As Ramshank has sensibly suggested, ‘it’s about making things better that should be the focus’. I agree with that.

Interesting use of the capitalised ‘OUR’ in your post.
Again you miss the point and our opinion (yes I will use the word our, it appears to be a commonly held opinion/observation here) is that transgressions in one direction earn an uneven punishment in the media. Case in point as recently as today -
lunchtime news, Azeem Raziq's (first) misdemeanour (and lets bear in mind he has taken a moral stance on such misdemeanour) earned 3 seconds of commentary, Alex Hales (a relative nobody) earned 28 seconds and the need for a video apology. Same disparity this evening, and that despite Raziq being outed on another racist post online. Happens a lot
