Football fans linked to far-right thugs: 'Lazy labelling!'

Speaking at a news briefing, Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged that the police will be on “high alert” this weekend with football “added in the mix”.

However, this has sparked outrage from football fans and former detective Peter Bleksley who claimed that this is just “lazy labelling” from the Government.

It's as lazy as claiming that ordinary people with genuine concerns are far-right.

The councillor who made the slitting throat gesture has had his charge from inciting murder downgraded to inciting violent disorder. Two Tier Court System now

Everyone deserves the right to leave and express their culture, traditions and customs in their own MOTHERLAND. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

[davidskimin]

Now anyone working class is far right.

Football 'thugs' don't run around with knives and machetes, AREN'T YOU LUCKY!.

[solsquirrel]

Where I live, the police come out heavy guns blazing on a football match but don't imply that attitude another time, I saw them turn up 15 minutes after a brawl involving weapons and didn't bother doing anything even when the station was 5 minutes away

Lies lies never much trouble at ball now😮

Starmer and Rowley are the “Real” thugs

[cartimandua_]

They were wrong from the start is my opinion. Due to them saying it was far right - evrn EDL which hasnt even existed for 10 years!! It made it all worse!!

[chrisdobbing]

That's all we're getting now, from our leaders and police, LAZY LABELLING.

[maryduffy]

What do you label someone who breaks a police women's nose ?🤔

[peterhaynes]

If we're Patriotic, Love Our Country, And Want it Safe, especially for Our Children and Grand-Children's Futures, We are all Far Right.

This gentlemen is exactly right. You can’t label a population for a few bad eggs. Now does that apply to brown and black people.

[rosemarykennedy]

I fear for the safety of these people labelled “EDL thugs” in jail and after release. Their families may have been endangered too.

[mikemahoney]

In my lifetime I have had governments that I thought did not govern in my interest but that’s democracy, but this is the first time I have had a government that I feel actually hates me as a white working class man. I really do fear for the place the UK is heading.

[ftroop]

It is not lazy. It is intentional.
The football fan of old, held bonds.
Bonds (like the family bond), that make us a threat to their power.
They have heavily targeted both in the past 30 years, for a reason

[majorwhite]

The thing is, they probably don't realise that there are hundreds of thousands of White football fans, I hope they don't hit the streets

[garywheeley]

Everyone right of Jeremy corbyn is far right according to liebour...

[lauloendersloot]

in holland they label people far right who doesn't support the EU and climatechange 😂😂😂

[insidiousdecoy]

Far right or just had enough of the bullsh*t?
