Nutty

Every know and again a story comes along on the news that just really tests you . Have you the viewer got hold of the " wrong end of the stick ? "  Well unbelievably in this story it is as I present it .Ive watched it twice just to check .
  Ive never been remotely interested in football , but a match that's going on today caught my attention for all the wrong reasons . Apparently one team has a strong Jewish connection , Tottenham   and the Metropolitan Police said in an interview that the word " Yid " ( apparently a slang word referring to things Jewish ) would not be tolerated during the match . In fact anyone guilty of using this word in a football chant would be singled out on the cameras and would be visited at their home address and would have a court appearance . So I presumed there must be some anti- Jewish feeling among the oppositions sides supporters , but no , it was the Jewish Tottenham  sides fans he was referring  to . So lets get this right . The Jewish supporters were been told to not use a word in a chant even though they were using it about themselves in case it offended anyone else ? WTF !!! 
   The head  of the Met was on BBC Breakfast this morning explaining this stupid scenario , and looking a little embarrassed . So who told him to say this . It must have come from very high up and from a narrow source as not many people could have such a stupid viewpoint . The moral of the story is someone will always be offended if you look hard enough . In fact you may look very hard indeed if needs must....
