Chelsea fan Josh Parsons has been suspended from his City job after being caught on camera with a group of racist Chelsea fans.

The shocking footage sees fans following Chelsea's 1-1 draw in a Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain shoving a black man off a train.

They are then filmed chanting: “We’re racist, we’re racist and that’s the way we like it.”

There is no suggestion that finance worker Mr Parsons was involved in the racist chants or pushing the black man.

However, he has now been suspended from his job at Business and Commercial Finance Club, a firm based in Mayfair, London, pending an internal investigation.

A spokesman for the Business and Commercial Finance Club said: “We are utterly opposed to racism in all of its forms and would never tolerate racist conduct among any employee.

"We are investigating the events in Paris and Mr Parsons will not return to work until we have conducted a full and thorough investigation.”

Since the incident, Chelsea have suspended those it has been able to identify from attending matches.

An image emerged yesterday of Mr Parsons photographed with UKIP's Nigel Farage.

The photo was posted onto Mr Parsons' Instagram account four months ago.

The caption accompanying the photo reads: “UKIP BOYS! What a geezer.”

A former schoolmate of Parsons, at Millfield private school, who wished not to be named, told the Guardian: “I was never really friends with them.

"The interesting thing was they were very strong UKIP supporters."

The posh school, based in Somerset, charges fees of £30,000 a year.

The former schoolmate added: “They were […] only about four or five people but they made themselves heard.

"They were never aggressive, they were never forcing it down your throat […] but you were left with no illusions looking at their social media that they were a) Chelsea fans and b) UKIP supporters.”
