The Daily Mirror, 1978, the first year Britain got a bank holiday to mark ‘May Day’.

Marx’s grave was defaced. Shopkeepers vowed to stay open in defiance of an “un-British” or “communist” holiday. Conservative clubs flew flags at half mast… 🤭

John Coltrane gave Alice Coltrane a harp, not long before his death in 1967.

After losing him, Alice made it central to her music, using it to build the spiritual, otherworldly sound that defined her later career.

Some positive news...

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Tim Davie was privately educated, went to Cambridge and was a Tory candidate and deputy chair of a local Conservative Party Association. Clear case of left-wing bias. If the left wing rot's gotta stop, then we need to start with private schools, Cambridge and the Tory Party.

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Opta Stan.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have had 2 match postponements in the last 266 days for public disorder.

Aston Villa haven't had 1 in 50,080 days (since 8th September 1888, Football League Matchday 1, the birth of global league football). Home or away.

Gaslit.

[Habz @HabZ360]

To all the true #AVFC fans, I just want to say I love you guys! And I love my club.

Lobby backed politicians, paid influencers and MSM can go do one. We know who we are.

Jew, Christian, Muslim, Sikh or whatever you believe, we're all Villans till we die.

Up The Fucking Villa!

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Push notifications about the government working to reverse a ban on Israeli football hooligans like it’s a national crisis.

More media and political outrage in defence of racist thugs than about Israel wiping Gaza off the face of the earth.

What a nauseating era in our history.

[Gary Spedding @GarySpedding]

One of the most disturbing narratives in play regarding the Maccabi Tel Aviv - Aston Villa situation is the suggestion that the 'real threat' is the Muslim community of Birmingham and that the issue is the safety of Jews in a 'Muslim area'.

This is feeding all kinds of extreme and fascist narratives about immigration, islamophobia and racism towards non-white communities.

In reality of course the census figures from 2021 revealed that Birmingham residents identify as Christian (34%), Muslim (29.9%), No religion (24.1%), Sikh (2.9%), Hindu (1.9%), Religion not stated (6.1%) and so on.

The majority of the city of Birmingham is non-Muslim, and while it may be true that 'White British' is now below 50% in Birmingham, this is because there is a mixture of different communities most of whom are not Muslim. The overwhelming majority of the population in the city are British-born (73.3%).

So please stop with all these nonsense hate-filled claims that over 50% of the city are Muslim immigrants that pose a threat to Jews and Christians in the UK. It is complete bullshit and totally racist.

[Dr Iain Darcy 🍉 🇮🇪 💚 @doctoriaindarcy]

So it appears Villa did not have a Jewish Supporters' Group, so (non Jewish) Israel propagandist @Mr_Andrew_Fox invented one, appointed himself as 'Honorary President' then got himself on Sky News. Can any Villa fans confirm the existence of this group before yesterday?
