Well, sort of. He's New Labour, and was responsible for driving out the left from Brighton Labour Party in the 80s, when he was leader of Brighton Council.
I understand he's also, for what it's worth, quite a keen Albion fan - saw him at the recent Swansea away match, for example.
Maybe he's on...
This looks very similar to my last experience of an evening match at Selhurst. Held back in the stadium for ages after the match (and without the civilised drinking options that the Amex offers away fans), then aggressively kettled by mounted Met Police for an extended period before being...

All of this. 100%. I see no reason why the club should change its approach to handling away fans, which is civilised, modern and adult. If there's a fanbase of one team, and one team only, whose fanbase does not respond in kind, there is a clear and obvious solution.

You are, of course, correct that saying these things doesn't make her a fascist in the strict sense of the word, e.g. the Cambridge Dictionary defines fascism as "a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control, and being extremely proud of country and race, and in which...

Just bought a couple. Still around 500 left, so reasonable chance of a few still being on sale when it gets to general STH sale next week. But after that, I reckon it probably will sell out.
While I think that many aspects of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians are horrendous, I don't support the cultural boycott of Israel (or indeed the parallel academic boycott which exists in the universities).
The main reason for this is that, for all its faults, Israel is a real democracy...
When you get a moment, could you add my 46:33 10k pb from today's race to the table too, please Ninja Elephant (I've still not worked out how to the edit the table without messing it up)? Thanks in anticipation.
