Just an older British bloke who is very dismayed by the series of rightward lurches the world has taken lately. I respect diverse opinions, but not flagrant refusal to see the truth.
I still #FBPE.
Unsolicited unwelcome DM = instant block.

I decided to change my profile pic back to old greybeard for a bit, as on the other place. I may change it again soon. Or not.

Last night, a group of bipartisan senators meeting at the Halifax International Security Forum said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio called them on his way to Europe in order to admit that the leaked 28-point “peace” proposal to end the war in Ukraine was actually a Russian plan.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Is Labour just uninformed - or do they knowingly lie?
Lisa Nandy: "He's right to say that it is unprecedented in recent times that an entire group of away supporters have been entirely banned from a game"
Unprecedented in recent times? In 2023 Legia Warsaw fans were banned from a game at Villa Park.

I find it hugely depressing (sic) that our generation has changed the infrastructure of civilisation to become so vulnerable.
For 50 plus years we’ve talked the talk of resilience and security, while in reality putting far too many eggs into far too few baskets.

I think the only possible way forward is for Starmer now to direct that the match be played to empty stands. There’s nothing he can do to avoid being deeply unpopular with some people, but that would prevent him looking completely ineffectual, while also supporting the Police’s stance.

The only bit that's probably very much to do with Israel & being called Antisemitic is that normally UEFA would've stepped in after Amsterdam and would've banned Maccabi Tel Aviv away fans for a certain number of games. I suspect they were scared to and have left it to others to make the tough call.

We, or rather the West Mid Police and the Birmingham Safety Advisory Group, did exactly that - looked objectively at the recent history of behaviour by and toward these fans, and made a prudent decision, in line with precedent.
That Starmer waded in without getting a proper briefing is a tragedy.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans have a history of creating trouble.
Their trouble making is not welcome in a tolerant country like the UK

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
