Intelligence on ‘extreme’ Maccabi fans with history of violence led to Villa Park ban

Would the lads be so upset if overt racism and xenophobia, relentless dumb crackdowns, benefit cuts, flag-fucking and genocide had turned out to be very popular? I guess we’ll never know

Standing with Maccabi’s football hooligans against local police – is that what patriotism looks like now? | Jonathan Liew

Honestly feel like Labour on immigration is a political and moral crisis with potentially scary consequences

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies." Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration. #Peston

THIS.

⏱️21 mins ago "The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off." There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology. List/tag them. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The Starmer Midas Touch knows no borders

Now we’ve had sex I will return to virginity

honestly reads like he's been sat fuming about Zack Polanski for the last few weeks and needed the flimsiest 'sports' hook to justify writing about it. except in doing so he's defended a travelling support whose signature songs are about killing Gazan children and the charmingly named 'Rape' song

weird. @barneyronay.bsky.social links all of his articles on here but he hasn't done it with his latest, a craven defence of some of europe's worst football hooligans, peppered with dozens of digs at Zack Polanski for some reason

The fact Starmer has spoken up more for some foreign football hooligans than British citizens captured in international waters a few weeks ago speaks volumes

This.

🚨 POLL | Britons SUPPORT banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending next month's Aston Villa match. ✅ Support – 42% ❌ Oppose – 28% Via @YouGov, 17 October

😡 The PM called it wrong. Badly wrong. Why is he undermining local safety groups, the local police and the local MP? He should prioritise local residents, British police and public safety... ...rather than interfering to race-bait and prioritise dangerous Israeli hooligans.

Britons tend to think it was the right decision to ban fans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a match against Aston Villa next month, a fixture classified by West Midlands Police of being 'high risk' Right decision: 42% Wrong decision: 28% yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

While the perpetrators of Gaza’s genocide pose as its saviours, survivors return home – to a wasteland | Nesrine Malik

“The alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.” ⬇️

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has decided that she must limit your right to peacefully protest because free speech is upsetting to supporters of genocide ♥️

A Washington Post poll finds many American Jews deeply critical of Israel’s war in Gaza: 61% say Israel has committed war crimes; 39% say genocide. 68% rate Netanyahu negatively; nearly half call his leadership “poor.” A growing statistic worldwide as well

The Met police chief proves he's as dishonest and racist as the force he leads. Read my latest here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/the-met-po...

People from all walks of life — including many British Jews — are protesting against your government’s complicity in genocide and standing in solidarity with Palestine. Conflating Israel’s genocide in Gaza with British Jews is deeply inappropriate and dangerous. Shame on you.

The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend. The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldn’t protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day. Some of us can condemn both.

This week's column on Labour's rapid implosion resembling the Tories' slower one, and ending up in the same place of government by bullshit and crackdown. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If this doctor is a terrorist, then what is the IDF?

The teenage legend who condemned the BBC, live on air, for being complicit in the Genocide of the Palestinian people, has been identified as Callum from Liverpool Here he is given more time to explain why he gatecrashed the live BBC broadcast as he discussed his A Level results Salute 🫡

We seem to have learnt nothing," Yavar tells me. "The killing of innocent men, women, children, and even babies goes on. And the world, with some honourable exceptions, watches in silence... "It was all futile, because it's still happening. We haven't learned anything at all."

1. Sanction Israel. 2. Arrest Netanyahu when he flies over EU countries. 3. Get a good lawyer for The Hague #GazaIsStarving

Wondering if the BBC is complicit in Israel's genocide? I complained about the attached, pointing out that stating that a ceasefire is "the only way" to boost the delivery of aid: - is demonstrably inaccurate; and - ignores that Israel is obliged to enable aid delivery under international law.

Piers Morgan: "Do you think the [GHF] is a force for good in Gaza?" Me: "No, it is a force for evil. That is not a word I use lightly. But what we have seen is evil...people coming for food, starved by Israel & they are then shot at, killed. 100s of them. It is the most evil thing I have seen..."

👉NEW -- US flew spy flights for UK months before MoD admitted it by @iainoverton.bsky.social A US firm hired by Britain to conduct surveillance over Gaza operated above Nuseirat refugee camp the night before Israel killed over 30 Palestinians in December 2024 www.declassifieduk.org/us-flew-spy-...

NHS Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr. Nada Al-Hadithy, "A classroom of children are dying every single day in Gaza" "Palestinian doctor colleague was followed home by a quadcopter drone, it waited till he was in his tent and greeted his three children, and then it killed all of them"

2025: "Kemi Badenoch says she no longer identifies as Nigerian" 2010: Kemi Adegoke appeals to Nigerians for help to get elected in parliament. This is the campaign leaflet she sent around. It's taken her 15 years to dump the Nigerians who helped her become elected. Key extracts:

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives. Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips. And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion. Next question.

Palestinian self-determination is an inalienable right, not a bargaining chip. While children starve to death, Keir Starmer refuses to expel the Israeli ambassador, impose full trade sanctions, enforce a full arms embargo or end surveillance flights. It’s Labour’s genocide too.

This is the third time Israel has taken the Palestinians of Gaza to the brink of starvation and then allowed a trickle of aid back in. They know exactly what they are doing, this is genocide by salami slices because each wave does permanent physical damage to the health of the population.

On August 1st, vote for a leader who’ll take on Reform. Challenge this Labour government. And take the fight to the power and wealth they seek to protect. It’s time for bold leadership. #BackZack
