Guildford Faces Calls to Resign Over Police Ban
Update: 2026-01-07
Description
Pressure mounts on West Midlands Police Chief Craig Guildford amid allegations of bias and cover-up. The force banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from an Aston Villa match last November, citing fears of violence. Newly released documents reveal police knew of potential threats from locals as early as September, but kept this information hidden. Senior Conservatives, Jewish leaders, and Aston Villa fans are calling for Guildfords resignation, accusing him of capitulating to extremists and damaging police credibility. Guildford denies political influence and stands by his teams decisions, but the spotlight remains on whether hell step down or face dismissal to restore faith in the force.
