Credit to OP, the explanation for this bizarre santitisation of 80s football crowds seems to be that the Thatcher era has become all round golden age now that the 50s is too long ago.

More good natured rough and tumble football from the 80s. Admittedly not the West Midlands, Luton v Millwall 1985. But Jenrick is clear that it's "Britain" which has changed, so here goes. Not just in the ground either.

Have you read the comments on the YT video?

I don't think I've ever seen a Tory MP doing off-duty one of the lads without wearing a round-neck sweater.

But they couldn't pull this off without a compliant press.

Someone in the Tories who wants the party to remain relatively sane could really ratfuck Jenrick over this stuff, “hotels”, supporting Remain etc.

That's Chris Felch, not Honest Bob.

Meanwhile, BBC News hasn't raised a peep about their sympathetic pursuit of the Abd El-Fattah story without Googling him.

To be fair during the piece on him on radio 2 news they did mention that the Tories had been responsible for his citizenship after giving allowing their comment, was a bit refreshing for their short news bulletin.

Assume someone got the sack.

Radio 4 news have certainly been making that point too.

Jup, the tories said that he was a good egg so, as per usual, any journalistic rigour or curiosity flew out the window.
