One of these people has been identified as an employee of a well-known estate agent. I'm not going to screenshot what he posted because it's vile. I hope he's sacked. What he posted would probably justify prosecution.

I’ve just had a long call from my son in Sydney saying exactly this. Also saying how disgusted he was at the behaviour of some English fans generally but more concerned of course with the hideous hideous racist abuse. Who are these people,??? But twitter, Facebook etc need to get their act together and be held accountable.
Sadly, money talks.

Following England’s narrow defeat yesterday evening Rashford, Sancho and Saka were subjected to dreadful racist abuse on social media yesterday evening. This is happening in all walks of life where cowardly people go online to vent their spleen anonymously on others. Isn’t it time something was done to bring social media under control?
