The government has said it is “doing everything in our power” to overturn a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending a football match in Birmingham and is exploring what additional resources could be required.
On Thursday, Aston Villa said the city’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG) decided that fans of the Israeli club should not be permitted to attend the Europa League fixture on 6 November over safety concerns.
Facing mounting pressure to resolve the situation, the government said it was working with police and exploring what additional resources are required.
They’re doing everything they can to be the most reviled government in living memory.
I can’t believe I hate them more than the Tories. That’s an achievement.
I wouldn’t say more but they are trying hard.
Oh yes this is definitely something they should be spending their time and police resources on.
SAG are right, this is going to end badly, and it will be 100% labour’s fault
