If the UAE is really threatening billions over Manchester City, that’s exactly the kind of political influence that demands scrutiny. When wealth and power get special access, ordinary people deserve accountability.

Why do we love football? Sham-gate tosses all of that into a spiritual incinerator. On Paul Dickov, selling souls to the wealthy who make their own rules, and the need for regulation capable of protecting clubs as assets with special value. Free to read. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

What's instigated this Damscene Conversion? Why has the glut of reports of IDF barbarism only now penetrated the Labour brain? What will the Gvmt do about the hundreds of peaceful protestors it demonised & imprisoned for supporting Palestine Action if, indeed, they were now right all along?

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

As always with fascism, the real motive is to loosen capital from all forms of transparency & accountability, & to dismantle systems that enshrine social reciprocity. In this instance, politics is brazenly for sale: government for criminal crypto-spivs by criminal crypto-spivs.

But a lot of things were not good... what they did. Let's be honest.") * Vocal anti-racist who used his platform to defend UK players from UK fans

Erling Haaland quote from Twitter:

"I don't understand why there is still room for racism and discrimination. We will never tire of fighting against any form of discrimination. Instead of being applauded for having the courage to take the penalties, these young men are attacked with racist insults. I am speechless."
