    White Lives Matter too!

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.

    Why exactly did this prompt a police investigation?

    It was orchestrated by the same vile racist hate group of trolling football hooligans that were behind recent violence.

    I've no clue if the plane trip was legal. Probably wasn't under COVID laws at the very least.

    If this is the reason, and not Minx's point regarding aviation rules, I am still not entirely sure I understand. Do the police investigate any type of speech if they come from vile racist hate groups? If they handed out a pamphlet would that also require an investigation by the police?

    And again I really don't understand British COVID restrictions - why would a private flight, (in what looks like a one or two seater aircraft) violate COVID restrictions?

    I didn't understand either. To fly those planes with banners is a profession I'd say. The slogan itself is offensive/racist only in a context that makes it so. Maybe flying over the stadium is considered a security risk?

    Gotten to the bottom of this.

    An investigation was prompted because there was a complaint. If someone complains the Police are duty bound to investigate.

    The investigation has already been closed. The Police have already said no law was broken.

    Someone elsewhere said that putting in a complaint is an old journalistic trick to make a story seem bigger than it is. The Police report they're investigating, makes the story seem big, then nobody bothers to report the results of the investigation.
