A pub in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, apologises after allowing a team name that included an antisemitic reference to London’s Golders Green. According to reports, the name “Golders Green should be Golders Greed” was used by a quiz team at The Crown’s weekly quiz on 4 May. The issue is presented alongside renewed public sensitivity after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green in early May.
The pub says it regrets the decision to permit the wording and acknowledges that the phrase is offensive. The reports describe how the team name was selected for the quiz and then publicised in connection with the event’s results. The pub’s apology follows attention from outside the venue and calls for organisers to prevent hateful language from being used in community activities. No further details about sanctions or follow-up measures are provided in the available accounts, but the apology is presented as the main response to the incident.
