Anti-Semitism is deplorable and it was vile seeing it posted so much on a club tweet. Jonny and any other Jewish fan has my full solidarity.

However, I am in disbelief that a man who condones Millwall fans booing BLM and attacked Sarkar after she was racially abused can claim to https://twitter.com/JewishChron/status/1380171878145351686

be an anti racist against hate.

As we see a rise of racism in politics and society, it is inevitable yet disgusting that we also see it rise in football.

Every week we see players racially abused. Stopping that is more important than a flawed notion of an apolitical space

On the point in the article where Gould claims some of us do not like him because of Corbyn... This is so dishonest it is startling.
This all started in the summer, when Gould tweeted that BLM kneeling reminded him of players being made to do Nazi salutes, a ridiculous comparison

Instead of being abusive, I had a polite debate, and then sought to join the trust, believing it was poorly represented by the younger generation, and left wing.

This started with a phone call with Gould, which was as actually incredibly friendly and in which he urged me to try

And join the board of the Trust.

I decided to accept our political differences and to do this.

This continued to be my aim, and I occasionally questioned Jonny's more inflammatory tweets, but not in an abusive manner.

I also led a group called Villa voices for change which I

Planned to use to gain voted and support from members of the Villa community.

I very frequently urged this group not to pile on Gould or become abusive as I wanted to join the trust in the correct way. If anyone doubts this, there are about 30 fans who can show you screenshots

Months passed of delayed AGMs due to Covid and no digital alternatives for paying members - seriously, if they won't digitalise now, when will they?

Eventually, we got to the time of the US election, during which Gould shared stories about fake ballot counting, a lie that proven

Liar Donald Trump made as he got increasingly desperate to maintain power.

Jonny is a journalist with a public platform, if you share unsubstantiated claims, you have a right to be questioned.

I did just this, when claims just like the one he made led a group of fascists to

Storm the capitol building in America in a huge attack on democracy.

I tweeted a politely worded question, and got the following response.

This was quite concerning, given the fact I have repeatedly exerted effort to stop personal abuse and that the tweet is perfectly fine

What followed was frankly ridiculous, just read the attached.

Jonny threatened my candidacy to join the trust because I asked him a question on Twitter. It had nothing to do with football, or Villa.

How on earth can somebody who has acted like this, write the above article about some brining political differences into football.

He has

Quite literally stopped me from using my time to help other Villa fans because I asked him a politely worded question.

I then emailed the Villa trust to report this behaviour, and they did absolutely nothing and sent back an email which was quite frankly insultingly tone deaf.

I had a meeting with a representative of Aston Villa, who told me that the trust is not an official partner of the club - something that is not clear enough.

Anyway, I have sat on all this for a long time because I did not want to make this personal or in the public realm, but

Enough is enough.

I am not happy to be attacked or for those of us who simply want representation in a trust that claims to be our voice.

I once again reiterate that I stand completely and absolutely against anti semitism and all forms of racism and discrimination.

I currently have Gould under block after he threatened me for libel after I posted his podcast, in which he defends Julie Burchill after she racially abused Ash Sarkar, something Burchill herself has been forced by court tot admit
