Israel / Palestine

[AndyRM]

Budget announcement today in Scotland, which takes priority really. I suspect we'll hear more about Palestine Action when they've decided if they're going ahead with the review.

Why am I not hearing this on the BBC etc?

Why? Because to a degree its a non story, its merely an application to get permission to make an application to have a decision made about the lawfulness of the ban.

even if this application were successful it only means that the applicants can then make an application to have a decision made about the ban. It changes nothing at this stage in real terms

I wonder how the attempts by politicians of all colours to scapegoat the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police for overseeing a force doing its job on public protection with the Villa v Macabee match will go? I'm sure none would have criticised if the match had gone ahead with visiting supporters present had there been serious violence and they'd have taken the view that it was for the best to avoid being anti-Semitic. It's almost Trumpian.

Can’t believe this is still under debate. Someone is stoking it to keep it in the news.

The commons committee interrogation of the chief constable was incredible. All interrogating MPs declared some sort of friends of Israel link, shouldn't they have recused themselves? Is that kind of foreign interference acceptable?

The news this morning was that the Home Secretary was being put under pressure to sack him but she doesn't have the power and Kemi 'The Brain' Badenoch is calling for his resignation for "capitulating to Islamists".

Well quite.

But at the end of the day it’s a game of football.

I know, I know……….I don’t understand

As I understood it, it had nothing to do with football but was about football "fans".
