Debate
Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
I want to finish with a match update. In a rare display of solidarity, Arsenal and Spurs fans have joined forces to call for Hamas to release Emily Damari, a Spurs fan held hostage in Gaza for 467 days. Please God she will be released and coming home in today’s deal, but I want to remind us that football fans are grand. It is very moving and amazing what they do. Although it is not the main point, in the end those fans will not thank us if we do not think of the unintended consequences of a well-intentioned piece of legislation and regulation.
