England Football Fans Chant “Keir Starmer is a C***”
England supporters called Prime Minister Keir Starmer a “c***” during a World Cup qualifier against Andorra on Saturday night. The Telegraph has more.
Around 7,000 England fans travelled to Barcelona and with the match goalless, the foul-mouthed chants about the Prime Minister were clearly heard. To the tune of KC & The Sunshine Band’s 1982 song ‘Give It Up’, fans sang: “Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na now, Starmer is a c*** is a c***, Starmer is a c***.”
Starmer was also in their sights when they sang: “Keir Starmer, is a w****r, is a w****r.”
Thomas Tuchel’s team were playing at a half-empty stadium after the fixture was switched from Andorra to Espanyol’s ground 125 miles away. At the time of the chanting towards the Prime Minister, England were struggling to break down their lowly-ranked opponents and supporters went through their repertoire of songs.
After the match, England manager Thomas Tuchel said he did not hear any offensive chanting. “If it happened, it’s not acceptable,” he said. “But I didn’t hear any offensive songs or chants.”
Saturday night is the first time England supporters have so notably taken aim at this prime minister. However, in 2018, the Football Association was warned about “political chants” by English fans during the World Cup in Russia. Fifa investigated the chanting of “No Surrender”, which is a reference to the Troubles, and other potentially discriminatory songs.
Earlier this season, police urged England fans to “respect local culture” when attending the Nations League match against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.

Makes you proud to be English!
Thank God for the working man. The middle classes won’t say boo to a goose.
Might not be so keen to get maych tickets in future.
Next Tuesday.
England fans generally have a sense of fair play, good judgement…and now, apparantly, are politically savvy!
England supporters called Prime Minister Keir Starmer a “c***”
Sorry to risk seeming obtuse, but what exactly is the problem with this statement?
Nothing wrong that I can see. It’s the truth although it’s said that the truth hurts! I can’t fault it at all. Nothing I haven’t thought myself!
Well, it’s a bit unfair to ladies’ parts which are useful.
Well it’s Anglo-Saxon not the Norman French that the upper classes prefer.
The problem with this statement is that in typically English fashion it is too polite.
Reminds me of this woman, repeatedly getting stopped by the police for her cheeky car stickers that seemingly push the boundaries of supposed ‘freedom of speech/expression’, and also demonstrates the police have zero sense of humour and nothing better to do than harass people; ”A UK motorist faced the prospect of six months in prison after being sent to court for placing a rude bumper sticker on the back of her vehicle. Georgia Venables, 29, had a sticker reading “don’t be a c***” placed on the rear of her Peugeot 108. Earlier this year, Georgia was stunned when she was stopped by police officers who claimed the design could cause offence. The case was put before Chester Magistrates Court where Georgia pleaded not guilty to displaying threatening/abusive writing/sign/visible representation likely to cause harassment/alarm/distress. Georgia faced the prospect of a maximum six-month jail sentence but the case was dropped with Georgia walking away. The 29-year-old claims it is the fifth time she has been pulled over due to phrases placed on her car. Some of the previous messages that had previously caused police to have a word include phrases such as “s*** box certified”. Another bumper sticker included a picture of Star Wars legend Yoda alongside the phrase… Read more »
More ‘C’ word insults incoming…
”Photo from today’s York Pride.
A sign reads: “They say you are what you eat, but I find it hard to believe JK Rowling has eaten c***.”
Not far behind were primary school children.
These are the type of cretins that Pride now represents.
They should feel nothing but shame.”

Charming display of common sense.
I thought it was expected of a nation’s football fans to chant slogans that are patriotic and supportive of the country. So why could it possibly be wrong to chant slogans against someone who seems determined to wreck the country’s society, culture, economy and infrastructure?
Interesting to see the DS fence-sitting on this one. Does the Skeptic agree with our doughty supporters I wonder?
they spoke for the nation fact..as an aside be sure to check out and read carefully a petition on the uk government and parliament petition page..shut the migrant hotels down now and deport illegal migrants housed there… it currently has 67,032, signatures it needs a minimum of 100,000 signatures to be debated in parliament..be sure to sign it and reshare it widely with like minded people and be sure to ask each one of them to do exactly the same as im asking you in this message
