All great points Spartacus.

The game is going to go ahead with MTA  fans in attendance.
Ed Milliband says so.
He's a knob.

Thanks Spartacuss, you’ve written what I’ve been thinking.
I hope there’s a sensible outcome of the latest high level discussion and planning to support the match going ahead.

One of the worst things about this whole affair is that the word conflate has been used a billion times already

I had conflates for breakfast.

Wrong thread

Can we all be Spartacuss? (Sorry I went there).  Very much agree with your post though and your right it's an added layer of shite the constant assertion that all Jews support the current Israeli Government.

Really feels like the Prime Minister & in some ways even more shamefully given she's a Birmingham MP, the Home Secretary are painting targets on our backs (But much more so the people living around Villa Park. Who national media seem utterly uninterested in, in their coverage).  Then too the surprise of no one who is actually awake, Tommy Robinson (Just how do you get to step out of a court case, go on a foreign jolly and advertise and encourage a race riot - With so few mainstream figures, seeming to notice, let alone say anything against it? But they have all the time to attack the Police, SAG & the Villa I can't help noticing) pokes his drug coated nostrils in and ramps it up some more. 

Like so much of the rest of life, we just don't count and politicians believe they can just use us for their own agenda's.  We'll see what happens in the next few days, but whilst I understand the feelings about no protests should be happening (God knows I'd much rather there was just a football match happening and none of this!) I don't feel I have the first beginnings of a right to tell people living around Villa Park what they can or can't do if a racist group of ultra's teams up with Tommy scumbag and march into their streets.
