Lord Sugar Gets a Shot at Twitter Trolls After the Hotspur‑Crystal Palace Clash
When the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace finished with a nail‑biting finish, the snickering fanbase on Twitter didn’t wait for the post‑game commentary from Lord Sugar—the The Apprentice magnate. He had just tweeted his thoughts on the game, giving the media a chance to join the hype, when a new wave of nasty messages started flooding his timeline.
What the Smashing Trolls Sent After the Match
- “Old Jewish .”
- “Fat .”
- And a smorgasbord of hateful, anti‑Semitic snipes aimed straight at the Lord.
Four short, biting lines, and suddenly Lord Sugar was the target of a wave of vile online harassment. While Twitter is usually a hotbed for viral memes and roast circles, it turned into a testing ground for the more sinister side of social media.
Lord Sugar Takes Action
Refusing to stay silent, Lord Sugar snapped back with an official request to the Metropolitan Police. “We need these tweets investigated – with formal complaints to follow,” he tweeted, drawing headlines in both the tabloids and the police docket.
Police Responds
A spokesperson for Westminster Police recounted the response: “Today we received a peculiar complaint about malicious communications on Twitter—a more serious nod to the ‘offensive messages’ in question. These are alleged to have racist and anti‑Semitic undertones directed specifically at a male target, and we are continuing the investigation.”
Rumors that the handful of hateful sentences could bring law‑enforcement attention have now turned into an official inquiry. By the time the complaint hits the bottom of the agenda, the law is already mending little stitches in the online world’s infamous black quilt.
While the elite world of the London black‑tartan and cereal backlog remains packed with people who enjoy a good roast at tastefully polite distances, Lord Sugar’s experience underlines that no amount of busyness or wealth is immune from the shadows of the internet.
