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.
