‘Are you even from this country?’ England fans taunt Jewish man at Wembley final

A Jewish comedian has said a group of England fans asked him if he was ‘even from this country’ at the European Championship final at Wembley on Sunday.   

Jolyon Rubinstein wrote on Twitter that a group of six men in their 50s spotted he was wearing a T-shirt with his name, ‘Rubinstein’, on the back as he was entering the stadium.

They asked him, “Are you even from this country?,” and added, “He’s a Jew”. This was followed by “laughs and jeers”.

I was racially abused last night as I was entering Wembley stadium. My shirt has Rubinstein on the back. I took my coat off & immediately: “Are you even from this country” & “he’s a Jew” followed by laughs & jeers by a group of 6 men in their 50’s.
