And what makes the ban on welcoming Israeli football fans to England’s second city

even worse is the Birmingham MPs praising the ban. Which they clamoured for. And worst of all, WHY they are praising the ban. Which they clamoured for.

This was last night.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans banned from Aston Villa match

And banned, not because of any history of bad behaviour, because as far as I can see Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are as well-behaved as the others (ie some hotheads, some idiots, many, many decent lovers of the beautiful game). Banned because the West Midland’s Police cannot guarantee their safety or will not try to.

Iqbal Mohamed MP Independent (aka Gaza/Ismal ticket)  MP for Dewbury and Batley (rememeber Batley, and a certain innocent RE teacher?)

Thank you all who put the safety of Aston Villa fans, Birmingham residents snd the British public above the zionist and political pressure to let Israeli hooligans and terrorists run riot in our country

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Ayoub Khan Independent (Gaza and Islam ticket again) MP for Birmingham Perry Barr. Perry Bar is the district of Birmingham where the team that became Aston Villa was founded in 1876.  The two districts are close, maybe 4 miles apart.

And Zarah Sultana MP for Coventry South, MP for Your Party the the newly formed alliance with Jeremy Corbin (Gaza and Islam ticket yet again)

But there is always a ray of hope and light

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the AVFC archives

“It did leave a bit of a nasty taste in the mouth for them, us refusing to give the Nazi salute. The next time they said we’d got to give the Nazi salute, you see.

“At the next game both teams gave the Nazi salute. But we went to the centre of the field and gave them the two-finger salute and they cheered like mad. They thought it was all right. They didn’t know what the two fingers meant.”

Villa supporters continue to regard the actions of their players at this time as in keeping with “the finest traditions of the club.”
