| 0:00.0 | The British government has resorted to lies, to nonsense, to false claims to protect Israeli |
| 0:07.6 | football hooligans, and it's been completely humiliated by Maccabee Tel Aviv anyway. |
| 0:13.6 | A little recap. |
| 0:14.8 | Maccabee Tel Aviv fans were banned from attending an away match against Aston Villa after |
| 0:19.1 | police advice warning of disorder. |
| 0:21.8 | The British government and media then whipped up hysteria that this was anti-Semitism, completely |
| 0:26.5 | erasing in the process the history of Maccabee-Telaviv racist hooliganism, while the polling |

| 1:21.9 | It's that the risk assessment is based in no small part |
| 1:26.2 | on the risk posed to those fans that are attending who support Maccabee Tel Aviv because they are Israeli and because they are Jewish. |
| 1:36.2 | Now, we should be appalled by that and never allow it to stand. |
| 1:40.1 | She says this is the first time since the early 2000s that a decision has been taken to ban entirely away fans from attending a game. |
| 1:48.7 | As many have pointed out on social media, this is false, completely false. |
| 1:52.3 | The same applied to Rangers versus Napoli in 2022, Villa versus Leger Warsaw in 2023, |
