Overview
- The Crown in Boston Spa accepted the team name "Golders Green should be Golders Greed" at its quiz on May 4 and later apologized after a local complaint.
- Pub management said staff did not grasp the slur’s implications at the time and is reviewing checks with quiz organizers to block offensive entries.
- The complainant, who is not Jewish, called the name outrageous and said it made Jewish customers feel unwelcome and unsafe.
- Campaign Against Antisemitism called the episode plainly racist and cited it as evidence that abuse of Jews has become normalized in ordinary settings.
- The quiz followed the April 29 stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green, and the accused, Essa Suleiman, remains in custody with an Old Bailey hearing due May 15.
