Give that woman a Cigar!

Before the puns do, I was wondering if it was due to Clinton visiting Brum in the 90's and her being an "employee" at the time but the dates don't match up. As the scandal had broken by then though, I expect it might have been a publicity photo fpr her being pictured with the most famous sporting team from the city colours whilst he was visiting the city.

Edit: Quick googling and she is pictured with scarves of many teams. She was doing a book signing tour of the country in 99 and wore a Newcastle scarf in Newcastle, a Villa scarf in Birmingham and a Manure scarf in Torquay.

Ben Francis, Gymshark owner, nailing his Villa colours to the mast by replying to speculation saying he’s not interested in buying Reading FC.

“I’m a Villa fan through and through and I wouldn’t have involvement in any other club.”

Nice.

RIP Ian Lavender.

Unfortunately, the stupid boys at the BBC couldn't get his team's colours right in their obituary:
"Pike was the "stupid boy" (after Captain Mainwaring's constant put-down) in a woolly purple and blue scarf (a nod to Lavender's home team Aston Villa)"

At least the DT got it right

“ Lavender took to wearing a claret and blue scarf, in homage to his home club, Aston Villa, and David Croft and Jimmy Perry started writing about it and the mother’s boy wrapped inside it. ”

We can expect no visits to the dressing room at this time as "Prince William is the heir, the next in line, and will be expected to step up, in the way that not that long ago, King Charles was stepping up to help his own mother. Attention will turn to him when he appears publicly later this week"(BBC)

[Jon Crofts]

Just so long as he's there to do his solemn duty of handing over the FA Cup to McGinn in May.

Even as King, I see William at Wembley!
And I believe Lord Cameron may seek to attend the European Conference Final as part of his foreign ministers duty.
