[Football] BTP appealing for witnesses of Anti-Semitic chanting

[Thunder Bolt]

have the police not got better things to do than this? If ya burgled you wouldn't see a copper but 'racism' and 'anti semetism' they are all over it.

I really don't think British Transport Police investigate burglaries unless they happen on railway land.

True, but my point is a valid one. I'm sure i also heard 'we can see you holding hands' as well......shocking.

Whenever someone wants to denigrate the racism or homphobic laws of the land, on Nsc, they quote the mild chant of we can see you holding hands.
At least try to be original.

Do you think this country is becoming more or less tolerant?

Less.

 

[portlock seagull]

Less.

I think you’re right HT. I used to think of intolerance as the preserve of the right wing fringes. But now there’s definitely an extreme left, and also a liberal (oxymoron alert!) fanactism. And everything inbetween seemingly.

 

[portslade seagull]

Don't understand this as these supporters were pointed out to the Transport Police when they got off the train. Surely that counts as a complaint

It does ALL our heads in - the police using resources tackling racists and fascists.

Leaders past such as Churchill would be appalled at that.

Do you think this country is becoming more or less tolerant? I sometimes wonder myself eg If I heard 4 pissed yooof saying Yid on public transport I’d just put it down to rivalry, drink and being boring / a bit thick and immature to think for themselves rather than calling them out as racists and making a police complaint. Not exactly in the same league as David Irving after all. If they were a lot older and sober then that’s a different matter perhaps.

And the chant I heard referred to the killing of said group which irrespective of age or alcohol consumption is just wrong...

Now just waiting for the yaxley-lennon fans to arrive on this thread in three, two, one......

Or here already?

If you’re the sort to say something to racists, homophobes and sexists it’s a battle most weeks with away fans. I’ve got the scars to prove it (some of them as well don’t worry )
I’ve found going through life keeping my mouth shut hard but nothings really changing. The groups are smaller I suppose. Getting sick of it now really. It’s sometimes vile around kids as well.

Absolutely. Disgusting and moronic if so.

Fair play to you. Brave, admirable quality. Takes courage

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

No, I don’t think you’re stupid or narrow minded at all - it’s a bizarre situation. I know it’s all about supposedly reclaiming the word and all that but surely it’s just time to consign this ugly word to the past regardless. Makes me feel uncomfortable, whether someone saying it is white or black.

Chris Morris filletted this beautifully in 'Nathan Barley' when he had his white lead character address his mate as 'my n*****'. That was a mother****ing lot of years ago, bluds.

Edit: but nothimg to do with the main thrust of this merged thread. It would be good to see a few tossers prosecuted. Same old Chelsea, keep on digging....

Not actually true, we had a call out Sunday to disable an alarm after burglars had ripped it off the wall, police and forensics at the victims property within the hour.

BTP have had the complaint and identified the culprits. Now they are asking for as many witnesses as possible.
The more witnesses there are, the better the chance of getting a conviction in court.

One Brighton supporter said he witnessed the “disturbing” incident, where other Chelsea fans on board the train confronted their fellow supporters.

No, how dramatic !!!!

Because its an easy conviction. No police work needed !!!!!

Why are the police using resouces on hate crimes and racism? The country’s gone mad. In civilised places such as Russia this behaviour and attacks would barely get a mention.

You think? How long have you worked in the courts system?
