Ben
You may not like him but when has he incited trouble.
Cheers.
London Tonight's produced by ITN - telephone 020 7833 3000.
.... and sponsorship of all the boards around the ground replacing say 3 quarters of the Llanera boards.
Trying but difficult at this time of night to raise anyone. Rang the number but just an answer phone.
sure he does but can't get hold of MG right now.
Didn't say anything about who they were "alleged" to support, but did say that they mindlessly attacked Charlton Fans including kids.
Not surprised about London Tonight, here's hoping for a full apology tomorrow night!
Haven't seen ITV's coverage, but Sky Sports News said it was an attack on a train containing Charlton fans.
Presume Tel-in-Oz means BBC London News in his earlier post, not London Tonight.
You can complain to ITV directly (dutyoffice@itv.com) and/or complain to Ofcom - just one complaint and Ofcom has to investigate, and has the power to force on-screen apologies. Here's the complaints page at Ofcom.

MASS RAIDS ACROSS LONDON AND SOUTHERN HOME COUNTIES AS TRANSPORT POLICE CRACKDOWN ON FOOTBALL DISORDER
British Transport Police have arrested 14 men in a series of dawn raids across south London, Sussex and Kent today following a serious and violent football-related disorder on a train.
BTP has been investigating the incident which occurred at Sydenham railway station on Saturday, September 1, 2007.
The incident occurred at about 14.20pm and involved a group of up to 40 males who boarded a train when it arrived at Sydenham station and began a series of random attacks on passengers within two carriages of the train.
The train contained Charlton Athletic supporters travelling to a game at Crystal Palace as well as ordinary members of the public including women, children and the elderly.
A 24-year-old man Charlton Athletic fan suffered a broken nose in the incident. Several other passengers were head butted, punched and verbally abused. During the incident, which was captured on CCTV, the offenders are seen using bottles and cans as weapons.
BTP Detective Inspector Keith Bennett said Operation Dispatch was set-up to investigate the violent disorder, and involved up to 150 officers from the BTP as well as officers from the Metropolitan Police.
DI Bennett said: “A majority of the incident was captured on CCTV, which was used by police to identify a group of individuals, including known risk supporters.
“In the early hours of this morning police conducted a series of raids on 17 addresses at locations across South London, Sussex and Kent.
“Police executed search warrants and arrested 14 men on suspicion of violent disorder.
“The men are being interviewed by police today in relation to these offences.”
Those arrested could face up to five years in prison if charged with violent disorder.
DI Bennett said the arrests should serve as a warning to football hooligans that violence and disorder on the railways will not be tolerated.
He said: “Members of the travelling public, including law-abiding football fans, have the right to travel in safety and without fear of being assaulted or abused.”
THE ARRESTS INCLUDED:
1. A 40-year-old male from Clapham
2. A 35-year-old male from Worthing
3. A 45-year-old male from Wandsworth
4. A 44-year-old male from Tulse Hill
5. A 34-year-old male from Thornton Heath
6. A 37-year-old male from Ashford, Kent
7. A 16-year-old male from Purley
8. A 22-year-old male from Croydon

12. A 19-year-old male from New Addington
13. A 21-year-old male from South Norwood
14. A 29-year-old male from Dartford
How has Varney ever incited trouble?
Sloppy journalism. See the word "Charlton" and don't bother to read the press release properly.
Inspector, thanks for the complaints' addresses. The more people that complain the better IMHO.
Whoever wants to follow Ben in becomming the next freeloader fans director this is what you must be bang on with.
Well done mate (said not in jest either)
