Reply | Our country is Unbelievable
at 09:37 18 Oct 2025
A little research will reveal that yesterday the Mayor of Birmingham, the DCMS and the Government have stated the decision to ban away fans was because they can not guarantee their safety.
As an example a local Islamic Scholar has posted video calling for the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans to be shown no mercy.
So we have reached a point where people's liberty is being determined by others who wish them harm, it's rather ironic that
those who vociferously defend the right for people to go on demonstrations and voice contentious views seem quite happy to see people restricted from going about their lawful business in this country by attending a football match.
Some see nothing wrong with distorting our freedom and liberties, nothing wrong with conflating British citizens with events thousands of miles away over which those citizens have no influence.
As the Islamic scholar says, let's show them no mercy? [Post edited 18 Oct 9:38]

Here is the text from the DCMS Committee today to the West Midlands Police.
"We are deeply concerned that your force does not believe it is capable of keeping football fans safe, away fans, including those who live in the UK, to be allowed to attend the match," the letter reads.
So that's three separate Government bodies saying the same thing.
I give up.

We have people making direct threats to the Maccabi fans, the mayor of Birmingham says it's about protecting them and so does the UK Government. If we can't control 1,000 fans then all football matches should be behind closed doors.
Maybe a few extremists are now dictating how our country works. [Post edited 17 Oct 17:39]

The UK Government has indicated that the decision was about protecting the Maccabi fans, what a country we live in. |

I've quoted the threat to Maccabi fans from one member of the local population, if the mayor says it's to protect Maccabi fans then I think that's the case as he's involved in the decision making. If people are stirring up hatred by saying show the Maccabi fans no mercy then I tend to believe him. |

Birmingham mayor John Cotton has confirmed that the ban was because of the threat of violence against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.
"Fans should not be prevented from attending a football match in our city because of threats or violence," Cotton says. |

The requirements to look at migrants separately is misleading, the requirement is for a country to provide services for EVERYONE at risk of destitution. |

Birmingham Islamic leader Asrar Rashid has said.
We will show no mercy toward Maccabi Tel Aviv fans who will arrive in several weeks for the match against Aston Villa."
What a country we have when religious leaders call for no mercy to be shown to football fans. [Post edited 17 Oct 11:46]

To quote my cousin, he is a HGV driver, I really can't see anything that the Senedd has done for me, apart from block the M4 , which means I often run out of Tacho time. So I'm voting Reform in the May elections out of protest and in the hope that some politicians start listening.
He's not a rabid nationalist nazi, he rarely talks about politics, he and his wife work full time and juggle work with bringing up their daughter.
Those on the left calling Reform voters far right nationalists or nazis are just winding up the disillusioned ordinary voter and feeding the Reform vote. |

Worth doing the research, test driving and being prepared to push for a deal. I usually buy nearly new, but a new one was a better deal with £10K off the list price of £37K. A new model was just being released and the old model needed to cleared out of stock. |

I have a mild hybrid, I drove for an hour today at an average of 28mph, petrol consumption averaged 47 mpg with 8 mpg attributed to to the hybrid system. I have the dashboard display set to capture all the data related to mpg and ' game ' it a bit by coasting downhill and allowing the car to manage it's own braking etc |
