Off Topic Politics Thread

I think that is a sensible decision.

Politicians getting involved in football always backfires. The decision last night has saved Starmer a banana skin.

 

With the extra publicity I can see this being a disaster now anyway to be honest.

Pro Palestinian groups planning a protest outside the ground. Yaxley Lennon wants to go the game in a Maccabi shirt which will bring more protesters on both sides.

Probably have some conflict between Villa fans too as I'm sure some will end up wanting to show support for either side.

 

Labour, after having their arms twisted into holding a national inquiry into rape gangs are now trying to change the remit.
This was the inquiry that Jess Phillips, Kier Starmer and at least three posters on here said was unnecessary.
After Baroness Casey's audit, Starmer was forced to relent and announced in June that a national inquiry would now take place.
4 months later the chair of this inquiry has still to be appointed. Two people being considered to lead the inquiry were a former senior social worker (now withdrawn) and a former deputy chief constable. As the social services and police are two of the groups most likely to receive close scrutiny into their behaviour, they were not seen as impartial.
This, along with trying to change the remit to include all rape gangs rather than just the cases involved in the cover up, (as Baroness Casey's audit had recommended) has led to three of the abuse survivor representatives to resign their positions.

Jess Phillips is a disgusting politician who is now trying to dilute the inquiry, and it would seem has been caught lying. I hope we will soon see the last of her.

It was politicians (local ones) that pressured for the initial ban in the first place!

 

Yes, but oddily enough he was the sanest one of the lot ! Not trying to score points but raising sime genuine concerns.

 

So, no Jews allowed in Birmingham because it might upset the locals and now no protests in Tower Hamlets because it also might upset the locals.
But marches overwhelmingly led by muslims occurring every week where Jew hate is commonplace, doesn't get any attention from the police let alone banned.
Effectively, parts of this country are now becoming no go areas for fear of upsetting violent religious extremists. And in turn, those violent religious extremists can do what they please. Instead of addressing where the threat of violence is coming from, the potential victims are excluded.

When violence is threatened at migrant hotels or actually happened at Southport, the perpetrators are removed by hundreds of police in riot gear. Then quickly dealt with in the courts.
But in Birmingham and Tower Hamlets where the likely offenders would be Muslims, there are no warnings of arrests, no statements of feeling the full force of the law. And certainly no call for the locals to stay away.

All hell is going to break loose in this country sooner or later. No doubt the far right will be held accountable or some other Nazi, fascists, but you can be sure it won't be the violent religious extremists.

What violence has there been in Birmingham or Tower Hamlets? And have you ever been to either of those places?

 

Too busy wife swapping in Chandler's Ford to visit Tower Hamlets.

If it is on GB News though, it must be true.

We all know why the authorities in Birmingham caved in. They fear a repeat of what happened in Amsterdam, and I don’t mean a few idiotic Maccabi ultras burning some of the city’s plentiful supply of Palestine flags. They fear a ‘Jew hunt’ on our own soil. They fear that thugs will listen to that Birmingham imam, who was filmed saying Maccabi supporters should be ‘shown no mercy’. They fear – and not without cause, it must be said – that at a time when anti-Semitic incidents recently hit a 40-year high, when an Islamist whose name was literally Jihad recently went on a fatal stabbing spree at a synagogue in Manchester, that Jews might not be totally safe here.

 

How often do Tottenham games get banned in Birmingham?

 

Two things you should consider Thumwood.

Don't ever make comments involving my wife. You're not fit to clean her shoes.

You keep mentioning CF as where I live. If I did live there, you declaring that on a public forum could be illegal. Lucky for you I don't.
Of course it's up to you if you want to continue with your stupidity but no one wants a criminal record do they?

 

I really think the tie should go ahead, the Government and mainstream media were hellbent on getting the fan ban reversed; but the Israelis expertly seized the narrative by banning ticket sales themselves "to protect the Maccabi fans"

"The Rape Song"
You are Arab whores, we are ashamed of you
at the end of the day. Gate 5 We will f*** you
We will **** you, and then we will drink your blood.
And in the city square we will hang every communist who comes here.
We will take your girls, who love to go wild.
When we rape them, we will shout, "Today is the day of death!"
Today is the day of death...
