I was on @BBCWomansHour on Monday talking about the conversations I’ve had with these teenagers/young men. This is a breakdown of the key info I’ve learned about this community over the last 18 months or so. There’s a bit more info over on my Instagram too!

@karenwhybro I find it so frustrating that when it’s clear that women were the targets, the narrative immediately shifts to mental health, instead of seeing misogynistic extremism as a terrorist ideology

yesterday I was let down. Let down by The Cally, let down by the forty other people in that pub who stood by, many of whom joined in with the group's chants of 'y*ddo go home'. Let down by my own fans, who are supposed to stick together, united by our love of football.

They end the chant by repeatedly chanting the slur ‘Y*ddo’, which, as a Jew is incredibly offensive. My friends and I heard but ignored, rising above it. Two minutes later, more start joining in with the chant.
