    Claiming the remains of one of the hostages hadn't been returned, when they had

    Also claiming they'd reopen aid roads, when they're clearly limiting the one coming out of Egypt

    That's moving goalposts

    Who's the apologist now...?

    As of an hour ago, no they haven’t. Someone will have to tell the Red Cross who are scurrying around looking for them.

    Four more coffins found and on their way as per the BBC feed a few minutes ago. Just the 20 to go. Presumably the Red Cross and Jeremy Bowen are in on Israel’s dastardly plans.

    In other news, Trump pretty much telling the population of Argentina to re-elect their libertarian sociopath - or else

    Well that's another potential opponent next summer who will be booing the Star Spangled Banner in Trump's backyard...

    What's mind-boggling is people continue the lie that Tommeh Ten-Names is a journalist

    If he is, where's his NUJ credentials? Or a list of articles he's written for any newspaper or magazine?

    At best he's a Kick vlogger, since Youtube or Twitch would've demonetised him yonks ago

    Of course Farage is whinging the bloke who threatened to kill him got "only" five years

    If only that bloke threatened to burn down migrant hotels and pled guilty to the charge, then Farage would call him a political prisoner

    The day must have a Y in it, as it turns out that Bad Enoch has made another gaffe

    Remember her bloviating at PMQs about the Labour government tanking the case against those two Chinese spies, which means it is recorded in the Hansard that she made this accusation?

    Well, turns out the case collapsed as the CPS dropped one absolute motherlode of a clanger, as a witness statement from February 2025 was inexplicably signed and dated as being from August 2024

    I'm sure the retraction will be coming shortly...

    So.... a Government and Opposition quicker and more vociferously reacting to the (understandable) banning of MTA thugs attending a football match than they have been to the Israeli genocide in Gaza! <doh>

    The advice to exclude those hooligans, whose presence will cause serious public order concerns, is very sensible.

    The better question should be, why are Israeli teams still allowed to compete in international competitions at all? But then you see FIFA President Infantino appearing at the 'Trump' announcement in Cairo and it all becomes clear....:emoticon-0183-swear

    Israel and its teams happily played in Asian competition until a group of countries led by Kuwait cried about how unfair it was losing to Jews. Asian Cup winners once upon a time, for the little it’s worth. Several countries boycotted.

    The fans haven’t been banned for their safety or the risk of them committing violence. They’ve been banned because the police are terrified of a sizeable demographic who have never stepped foot in Villa Park turning up to kick off and would rather appease than enforce the law. Local preachers and MPs have promised as much. This is happening increasingly across sports because people who have made supporting Hamas their one hobby have been treated with kid gloves for two years so push and push further.

    Something something Amsterdam while totally ignoring Amsterdam was pre-planned and many ‘locals’ were convicted for doing so.

    Sky News take, jumping in line behind the knee-jerk claims of anti-Semitism:
    "This ban on fans going to Villa Park, overseen by a Labour-run council, implies Birmingham has become unsafe for Israelis and authorities cannot protect them coming to a football match."

    Bollocks....
    This decision, based on a history of violence perpetrated by MTA 'fans' in Europe and the high possibility of violent confrontations on the streets of Birmingham, appears to be a reasonable and rational decision - which will ultimately help protect ALL people.

    I am getting ever more concerned about the stance being taken by certain UK political chattering classes...

    The fact the BBC have put this as their top story, whereas if it was Lazio fans it would likely be the last item before the weather forecast, is the sort of thing that would make antisemites think "You know what, I think we might have been onto something after all..."

    And here's a detail nobody dares mention

    Villa banned Legia Warsaw fans from Villa Park a couple of years ago due to their Europe-wide thuggery

    Don't recall Bad Enoch opening her gob about that one, do you...?
