Dear fellow Villa fans, after a few days in not my best mood and mainly due to bad health I would like to share with you a simple message: we need you in this crucial week. Maybe we donโt deserve to ask nothing but we need each other. Time to reset and go ahead. We must carry on with criticism when we donโt do well. Itโs natural. We take the responsibility. Weโre not perfects. But our players and staff deserve the full respect and support. And we must be resilient to change the peopleโs mood trough facts. Difference between a drama club and a stable and strong club is that when results are not good (and it happens to everyone no matter who), instead to have people that choose to point and blame each other, instead to set fire to everyone and everything, we have people looking for the solutions and staying together. And we will be good, UTV!!! PD: this picture- very special - in the wall of my office gives me the motivation and an everyday reminder, it is the proof of what we are able to do. And what we play for. To fulfill VP with happiness and pride. See you on Thursday!
Details of the assessment that led West Midlands police to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a football match in Birmingham next month have been leaked to the Guardian.
They unequivocally show that police feared the Israeli club's fans would be the ones to instigate violence.
Starmer misrepresented the police assessments to demand that the ban be reversed. It is inconceivable that he was not aware of the police intelligence.
1. Dutch police told British counterparts that the Maccabi fans were behind the trouble in Amsterdam last year.
2. A source with inside knowledge of the police assessments said: โThe biggest risk was always the extreme Maccabi fans who want to fight.โ
3. A huge Dutch police effort, involving 5,000 officers across three days, was needed to quell the trouble.
4. According to a community impact assessment by West Midlands police, members of the Jewish community were among those who wanted the Maccabi fans banned.
5. So severe was the risk, police believed that at least 1,500 to 2,000 specialist riot police officers would need to be drafted in from around the country to cope with the Maccabi fans, at a minimum cost of ยฃ6million.
Starmer knew all this. So why did he effectively accuse the police of antisemitism and overrule their decision?
Who else has he been falsely accusing of antisemitism?
