Nope

Tommy Robinson has already stated he plans to go

Because the police were concerned about what happened in Amsterdam, Jews are not being banned. Like I wrote, Jewish people who support Villa can attend, the fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv are being banned.
Have you always been against the police?

Just got to rid of Sullivan and Brady now

This was a police decision, they said it was a safety issue

Stuart Dillon @smdillon1975.bsky.social · 10h

So just ignoring what they did, I'm not defending what happened to them, but they weren't innocent, stop pretending they were.

Also something which is wrong

How to lose respect

Stuart Dillon @smdillon1975.bsky.social · 12h

Not a surprise, he was a strange choice

Stuart Dillon @smdillon1975.bsky.social · 12h

Well that didn't take long unsurprisingly

False antisemitism is dangerous and wrong, real antisemitism is dangerous and wrong.

Stuart Dillon @smdillon1975.bsky.social · 12h

All forms of discrimination is wrong, I don't want to hear 'death to Arabs' or 'death to Jews' on British streets

I agree that antisemitism shouldn't be tolerated, all forms of racism and discrimination is wrong, but this isn't that. Starmer has got himself in a muddle over this, he doesn't have a spine when it comes to issues like this. He should have said its a local authority issue based on police reports.

Absolutely, genuine antisemitism is wrong

Jewish fans are allowed to attend the Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv game if they support Villa. The fans being banned are the Maccabi ones after the trouble in Amsterdam. The media and government are making this sound like something it's not.

She's someone who believes that Israel is exempt from criticism and that any criticism is antisemitic.

Imagine thinking there was peace for the Palestinians before October 7th. You really such an hateful person, you lack so much compassion its unbelievable.
