Wake me up when it's over

I refer the poster to my previous statement.

Every time I visit Warsaw, I always visit the Umschlagplatz. This is a simple, humble monument to Jews taken there from the ghetto to their murder in Treblinka. And it is murder, not  “kill”. Totally different things.

I then go to Polinn, the museum of Jewish life in Poland.

To complete the tour of the museum you have to walk up and down a flight of stairs. On each step is the name of a road the Nazis forced children from an orphanage to walk along to the Umschlagplatz. They could have taken them in a truck, but no, they walked them through the streets for everyone to see.

I really dislike the Polish countryside. Every town, every village, I don’t know what misery was perpetrated on Jews.

I think Israel’s government, their leader, the IDF, the rotters amongst Maccabi’s supporters, are absolute ******.

So maybe I’m anti-Semitic.

Maybe this is a long-winded “I’m not racist, some of my best mates are black” outing of me.

I don’t know.

I'm not the smartest man in the universe. I'm no Jeffrey Archer, I don't care what anyone says.

But I think we can all agree that MTA fans (thoroughly decent sorts) not being allowed to attend a third rate midweek game is clearly antisemetic.

Ignore the recommendations of the Polis, advisory groups, previous police forces that have had to entertain MTA fans rampaging in European cities. Ignore the actions of the Israeli cops and decision makers, even. Who ban them in their own jurisdiction.

They should be given carte blanche to do exactly what they want when they want at VP.

If that pisses off the local residents and causes race war in Birmingham it's a small price to pay, in all honesty.
