Maybe I fail at reading, but I can't see OP's mention of "the Y-word". The word though is "Yid" which is an epithet for Jewish people. Which is the only type of racism the British government cares to give the appearance of taking seriously.

The post and the comment at the bottom of the picture are both by the same person. The picture doesnt include the comment the OP was responding to, so dont worry what the Y word is as its not important. OPs comment at the bottom was included because they didnt give context on what the username was from just their post.

The word though is “Yid” which is an epithet for Jewish people.

Fun fact, Tottenham Hotspur F.C. supporters call themselves "Yid Army" (due to historic reasons). A fan from another team got yelled at (in a friendly manner), so he responded "Yid Armyyy" in a faux-threatened response.

Yeah, he got arrested. I fucking wish I was kidding.

Dear UK - why are you like this? Please stop it. I don't want authoritarians as neighbours, thanks.
