talk about the information that's come out today through a few surveys that E have done with

0:19.7

Hope United around homophobia within football. Before we get into the specific numbers, Paul,

0:26.0

I'm in a couple of ways, which, you know, feelers, though, you shouldn't necessarily say them.

0:31.2

I'm actually quite bullied by a couple of aspects of it. In terms of the fact that it does feelers,

0:37.2

you know, the idea that for instance three quarters, 71% of people in Britain agree that homophobia
