"Our reporting revealed that West Midlands Police used false intelligence to justify a policing decision after it had agreed on the politically desired outcome. For weeks the chief constable has refused to acknowledge this. Now the leader of the opposition says he must go. West Midlands Police capitulated to Islamists and then collaborated with them to cover it up. They knew extremists were planning to attack Jews for going to a football match and their response was to blame and remove Jewish people instead. They presented an inversion of reality West Midlands Police capitulated to Islamists"

"Since the Sunday Timess first story last year Craig Guildford has apologised for: AI-generated fictitious football game falsely claiming Birmingham Jews lobbied for the ban But he has never acknowledged the false claims about Amsterdam disorder which lay at the heart of the police intelligence. These were produced after the local authority privately said they needed more information to justify a decision which had already been made behind closed doors to ban Maccabi fans from an Aston Villa game last November. They ranged from the allegation Maccabi fans randomly threw civilians into a river"
