Police officers from British Transport police have issued the photograph of a bunch of racist thugs in connection with allegations of racial chanting that took place at St.Pancras International Station in London following last weeks champions league between Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain. The photographs come following reports from a member of the public after hearing racist chanting by a group of men who had travelled on the 18.40 service from Paris Gare du Nord.

The incident occurred 24 hours after the uproar sparked by racist chanting by a delinquent circle of hooligans viewed world wide via CCTV images shown of the backward scene in Paris.
Superintendent Murray stated ” it is clear that unfortunately there is still a minority who think it is acceptable to behave in such an abhorrent manner. There is more that needs to be done to publicly condemn this behaviour and British Transport police is actively working with football clubs, the football authorities and other key agencies to tackle this appalling behaviour.
The racism expressed by the Chelsea fan hooligans in Paris is another grim reminder of the sorry state of affairs in many parts of our society. The thought that even in this modern age of equal opportunity, there are many whites who still consider themselves superior to the black man on the sole basis of colour is disgraceful and disheartening. The irony of the matter is that most of those racists who are blindly and stupidly condescending towards black people are actually the ones who are in many ways inferior. Only a backward mind would fail to understand that the true worth of an individual is based on his qualities, his integrity, those virtues that reflect real person.

It is not the first time the game of football loved by many, has shined a torch on the ugly head of baseless racism that still ravages many quarters of our society. The victim of this unfortunate incident- Souleyman S- is a respectable member of French society, and was understandably lost for words at the senseless and despicable act, with which he was faced whilst trying to board a train in his country. The empty headed buffoons who chanted ‘we are racist and that’s how we like it’ just goes to show that there are ignorant individuals in society who acknowledge their racist mind set. In the same way they like to identify with fans who support their team and develop a rivalry against those who support other teams, their warped minds somehow think this should be extended to those of another colour or background. They fail to understand the beauty of cultural diversity which characterizes Britain, and of which most decent citizens are proud to be a part of.
At the root of much of the racism in our society is a flagrant ignorance of history by many. The fact is that all human beings are descendants of black ancestors, and that it was the factor of time that made us metamorphosis into the diverse group of human beings we are today. In fact, most English people today are descendants of Portuguese, Germans and may others who in turn are descendants of other racial groups throughout the ages. Thugs like these are a disgrace to British football and indeed the great treasure of diversity this country fundamentally prides itself on today. Let’s hope they get caught, it would be good to scrutinise the lives and history of these appalling human beings. We may just find out that they are a waist of space!
