Kaye Adams asks if banning spectators who make homophobic comments from sporting events, as suggested by a group of MPs, will help stamp out abuse.

Sport is not doing enough to tackle homophobic abuse and authorities should issue lengthy bans to offenders, according to a report.
The report, published by the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee, wants sports authorities to adopt a zero-tolerance approach at all levels.
Spectators who make homophobic comments at sports events should be banned for up to two years according to a group of MPs.
Will this help to stamp out homophobic abuse?

Alexander Millar has sold one of his artworks for 拢100000.

What makes this Scottish Artist's career more interesting is that less than 10 years before that sale, he was cleaning windows for 拢100 a week.
