Spurs history suggests that it is not a football club to welcome racists or fascists.
Sometimes it has needed to be reminded. When Spurs Against the Nazis (part of the Anti-Nazi League) opposed the National Front 40 years ago the Club wasnt so sure at first, but soon came on board.
Subsequent attempts by the BNP to cause trouble in the 1980s and 1990s were given short shrift.
These days Stand Up to Racism on the ground and Show Racism The Red Card at an official level continue the work of making sure that racist supporters of Tommy Robinson and the like get no quarter at White Hart Lane.
Its work that needs doing in each generation and self styled Spurs ‘fans’ can be found on fascist gatherings in 2024
