THE JEWISH CHRONICLE

A director of Celtic Football Club has received antisemitic abuse from the club’s fans after voting in favour of a government bill to cut tax credits.

Lord Livingston, a Conservative member of the House of Lords, was made the subject of a petition calling for him to leave his position as non-executive director at the club after voting against delaying the £4.4bn worth of cuts.

But a month after the now-10,000-strong petition started, the former Minister for Trade has revealed on a Celtic fan website that he has been the target of antisemitic slurs from supporters.

He said he had received a message from someone under the name Michael Higgins who had said: “Get this Ashkenazi c*** out of OUR club and take that other fake jew p**** [Celtic’s Israeli midfielder Nir] Biton with him. This is typical of their sort, infiltrating and destroying every country and establishment from within”.

Another person writing as ‘Ross Grant’ had told him: “He’s a Jew what do you expect”.

The abuse emerged after the club’s chairman, Ian Bankier, said earlier this week that “messages posted [to Lord Livingston], in quite a few cases are criminally racist and in all cases the vocabulary chosen is base and highly abusive.”

This led fans on the Affiliation of Registered Celtic Supporters Clubs’ website to condemn Mr Bankier for “his unprofessional behaviour” and call for him “to give serious consideration to his position as chairman of Celtic”.

Commenting below this article, Lord Livingston wrote: “I hope you don’t mind me posting this. As the person about whom a number of abusive comments were made, I thought you may be interested in a couple of the racist ones so you can perhaps see why the Chairman was upset about them,” before giving details of the abuse.

He added that he did not think Celtic supporters in general were antisemitic.

“I have always believed Celtic fans are the best in the world and a few racist postings of social media will not change that as I know the overwhelming [majority] of fans, whichever party the[y] vote for, would condemn them equally,” he wrote.

  1. Celtic fans generally come from the East end of Glasgow and have ancestors from Irish immigrants who fled Eire during the potato famine there. They are among the poorest in Glasgow and have no time for Jews or Israel as they are Palestinian supporters I have never in my life living in Glasgow come across any Catholic Celtic supporter praising Jews.

  2. It’s heartening to hear followers of this Catholic football club taking a (somewhat impolite) stand against the Organized Usury aristocracy. I wonder if the Catholic Church would be courageous enough to follow Celtic’s lead?
    Warning: don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

  3. Amen Alan. The Roman Catholic Church today finally fell fully , to the Jews/Masons at Second Vatican II.

    Jesus out,and Yahweh in.
    New Covenant cancelled for the old.

  4. Good news. When enough people speak out, the Jew won’t be able to imprison or get people fired just for voicing their opinion. In England, no less. My how times change.

  5. Peter I know most Americans call the UK =England but the fact is Scotland is -was-and always will be a separate country with Scottish Laws-Scottish money- Scottish social welfare etc .It was a Union of the Crowns in 1707 we were sold down the river for a “pocket full of gold “( lords and Ladies were given gold and lands in England to sign a declaration ) the Scottish 99 % rose up in revolt but were brutally pressured . So when I speak of Scotland I am not speaking of England where the Jewish philosophy rules in Scotland we care for the old-sick-poor ,for Jews this is laughable as there is no Jewish Profit in it. But thats what the collective minds in Scotland (the National thought pattern ) IN England it profit only so they vote in Tory (Jewish ) governments that control Scotland and introduce policies that are vile to Scotland so never equate Scotland =England for 300 years they have tried to brainwash “Scottishness ” out of Scots -Anglicization it has never worked as we have a strong will power and heritage . NEVER say a Scot is English if you want to come to Scotland and stay alive.

  6. Bravo! Stay together against those falls Talmudists. Have sold out your people sinsce 1694. Bank of England. Private central bank.

  7. #8 Baba: yes, 1694, a mere 6 years after William of Orange was crowned King of England. William was accompanied by bankers from Amsterdam. A mere 219 years later, finally the Fed (122 years after the first Bank of the United States, 1791-1811). Did I say finally? Then there was WW1, … .
    Talk about a sense of purpose, those people have got it.
    That’s something we gentiles ain’t not got – if you know what I mean.
    Gentiles, work together for a common cause? You must be joking!
    No I ain’t!
    What’s your cause then, mate?
    How about live and let live? Is that a cause worth struggling for?
    Or is that too humble? Not enough power and glory?
    The problem with power and glory is that for people with a taste for it, there is no such thing as enough.

  8. The World is getting damned sick and tired of that nonsensical term, “antisemitic”. It is used only by only the worst of liars, frauds and criminals.

    “God’s chosen people”? What a crock of sh*t! If they were as such, their deeds would speak for them; instead their deeds speak exactly the opposite.

    IT’S TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS INSANITY. Let’s shut down this International Talmudic Crime Ring — NOW. It’s way overdue.

    /Respect to the Scots. God bless ’em. The rest of the West should have the decency, the courage, and the sense to stand up for their own kinds, like the Scots do. It’s the RIGHT thing to do.
