Why is the Guardian underplaying the violence of the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans so much?

"I've told the story of Akromiya for 20 years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that 'Antifa' is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

You'd have to say "let our clearly violent hard right hooligans, who the last time they were allowed to come to a foreign city were caught on camera in multiple videos being violent hard right hooligans, come to your city or it's like the holocaust" is really up there as a classic UK media moment

Fighting for the rights of violent football hooligans is a strange hill to die on.

English Patriot supporting a team playing against.... er ..... an English team.

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn

These people have never complained about a club or a country being banned from attending international sports events before.

The Inside Number Nine episode 12 Days of Christine is the best half-hour of film - TV or cinema - ever made

This is absurd. If supporters of an English football club went to another country, committed violent hate crimes and public order offences, and the police in a subsequent country decided they couldn't be doing with it, the Prime Minister and the Leader Of The Opposition would not be caping for them.

I don’t remember anyone being as interested as this when Leeds fans weren’t allowed to go to Glasgow. #lufc

All of the coverage of a 5 year old child killed in Ottawa never mentions a driver. Not in headlines or in text or on the radio. A dump truck killed the child.

if you don't want to be banned from football matches you can just not attack everyone in a five mile radius of every football match you attend idk just a thought

I never thought being pro-football-hooligan would become a mainstream political position in Britain but here we are.

Did alcopops get banned or did they just fall out of fashion?

Why are they trying to paint the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans at Aston Villa as antisemitism when it is clearly not?

Just fucking fuck off, at the cost of the tax payer?

All the Holmes original canon too. Also The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. Exquisite.

Not allowed to call veggie burgers 'burgers' but allowed to call AI slop 'art' wtf

Fans of big football clubs don't have a clue what it is to be a real football supporter. Going along to a 60,000 seat stadium is easy. Watching your team every week in the lower leagues is true dedication.

Kebob club tonight lads

The Chief Exec of Ofcom is married to a former senior Mail and Telegraph journalist. Normally I'd say people's private lives are their own affair, but apparently family relationships are incredibly important and potentially biasing and need to be disclosed, so...

As an Amsterdammer I can say that the good burgers of Birmingham do not want Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in their fair city.

They're going to let Maccabi fans travel to Villa Park. They will play up. Everyone will bend over backwards to excuse it. Anyone who condemns them will be called antisemitic.

I had a conversation today about it where someone suggested the banning decision was political. Bullshit. It's the reaction, and complete cowardice on Uefa's part that's political. And the politics fucking stink.

I have never hated a British Prime Minister as much as I detest Keir Starmer. And yes, I'm dead serious. He is now "doing everything in his power" to bring those Maccabi thugs over here so that they can terrorise our streets, then scream victimhood. This is what they did in Amsterdam.

Please please please let them come to Birmingham, says, er, UK PM.

Ashish Prashar: Maccabi fans have a history of violence & if the govt overturns the ban, "it would be willing to put British citizens at risk to foreign nationals says a lot about out govts priority.. is the govts priority the state of Israel & its footballs fans, or ours?"

Whenever I make a bad decision, I sit down in front of the mirror, and tell myself “at least you aren’t a Prime Minister who can't use Google and so now you support football hooliganism” x

I'm getting incredibly fucked off that Starmer has now extended his definition of anti-semitism to include banning aggressive and controversial football fans. Being told you can't go to the football because of a history of violent clashes isn't anti-Semitism.

Henry Winter thinks he's being so clever with this, and yet he couldn't be saying something stupider if he tried. Suppose he has made a career out of that sort of thing

What? Last season Maccabi Tel Aviv played Ajax in Amsterdam & their fans went on an anti-Arab rampage. Throwing rocks at homes displaying Palestinian flags, attacking Arab taxi drivers & chanting “Let the IDF win and f*ck the Arabs” and “Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there.”

A very pointed final line in a statement from the UK Football Policing Unit on the Maccabi story “if the government want a role in regulating football events that could be termed ‘events of national significance’, then they need to bring forward legislation”

Starmer: "I demand this for Birmingham"

granny in a wheelchair with a sign - gravely concerning, police matter thuggish foreign football fans rampaging around attacking people chanting about murdering kids - disgraceful overreach by the police, the beautiful game is for everyone

they are saying the right to safety of British Muslims and the people of Birmingham are irrelevant compared to the rights of Israeli football hooligans to come and abuse them.

This Tel Aviv stuff is just bananas. Our Government is literally going out of their way to make sure fascist football hooligans smash up an area in the UK and attack British citizens!

Remember when this happened? www.theguardian.com/football/200...

Israeli soldiers guarding Thunberg told her they learned “little whore” & “whore Greta” in Swedish so they could taunt her - while kicking her - in custody. This was for trying to bring food & medicine to Gaza. 🇵🇸❤️✊🏼 www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Ex-officer accused of racism takes legal action to avoid facing spycops inquiry

Every time someone gets nothing but ridicule for saying something that's obviously bollocks, the reaction is always 'I made people mad' Nope, dipshit, that's mockery, not anger.

Hooray for Emile Weber. My daughter left her 'phone on the bus yesterday at about 5pm, and I've just been to their depot to pick it up already.

In no surprise at all, the actual reason was racist social media posts.

Shamelessly bumping this since it’s next week now, any Norwich City folks on here going to Derby away next Tuesday? Guessing I can probably find an away pub anyhow - looks like a few options in Derby - but would be great to have some company before the game. #ncfc

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

No decent society would have this many adverts for online casinos. Parasites.

UK banks oppose tax rise. Falsely claim to be paying 46.4% tax rate. The PwC generated number includes PAYE, employee national insurance which is paid by workers. VAT which is borne by customers. it is extrapolated from a sample, can't be verified Why do media reports not expose this sham claim?
