WEST HAM have been called on to ban activists from the far-right Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA).
Labour London Assembly member and West Ham United Foundation trustee member Unmesh Desai wrote to the Premier League club yesterday asking for a statement against the DFLA before Saturday’s match against Everton at the London Stadium.
The letter was also signed by east London Labour MPs Stephen Timms, Lyn Brown, Jon Cruddas, Rushanara Ali and Jim Fitzpatrick, along with Newham mayor Rokhsana Fiaz and her Tower Hamlets counterpart John Biggs.
