The all too rather well chewed out “Yid” word debate may be boring some, the further the persecution of innocent people debate moves aware from plums with beards and bald mentalists, the more facts and dare I say it, truths emerge.
First we had Chelsea football club make the staggering admission:
Tottenham supporters using the ‘Y’ word as a form of identity is not an excuse for abusive chanting.
West Ham who despite some really respectable efforts, have always been just pipped to first place in the faith hate stakes. But even David Sullivan has acknowledged that the problem lies with the sub human scum that heckle Spurs fans, opposed to with the Spurs fans themselves.
Supporters know where myself and the club stand on this issue.
We sincerely hope that a tiny minority of our supporters do not let us down. We are the only club that remembers the Holocaust each year and we have many Jewish supporters of our own.
Sadly a few supporters, think its funny to sing anti-Semitic songs and make anti Semitic gestures. They need to realise in 2013 that it’s not acceptable.”
Although I am a bit disturbed by the “…they need to realise in 2013 that its not acceptable.” as if this behaviour has somehow been reigned in by recent political correctness gone mad, opposed to it has never been acceptable to to sing anti-Semitic songs and make anti Semitic gestures.
But hey, it’s a good start. I can see David Baddiel now, writhing on his settee:
This is all nonsense! I’ve got a musical version of The Infidel coming out, for faksake! Yid? It’s a race hate word, it must be because I quite clearly to David Aaronovitch it was. I’m doing a show for Radio 4 called Don’t Make Me Laugh, I haven’t got time to not win publicity stunts, I mean support immensely sensitive race hate issues!
Look, I was at Stamford Bridge and my brother and I were so incensed by the fakin Y word we couldn’t bring ourselves to complain to a steward or write to the club. We were so incensed we just had to make a profile raising video.
This debate vehicle will not be hijacked by football clubs or their supporters! How many of them are working on a romantic comedy for Paramount?! How many? I’d argue none. I’ll be damned if people like football club chairman are going to come crawling out the woodwork and back up some cockeyed view that Spurs fans are somehow the victims here!
