UAE officials have warned the UK that a severe punishment for Man City could hurt future Emirati investment in Britain, Bloomberg reports. This is the perfect argument for keeping foreign money out of football.

This artwork was created over the past year by a local Birmingham artist collective who wanted to bring unty from discord by repurposing the divisive Nationalist flags into a massive Brummie Reunion Jack. Suffice it to say, the inspiration for Goldship's magnificent work has not taken it well.

This remains true.
"You don't debate with fascists.

You don't give them a platform, because by giving them a platform you're implicitly saying it's acceptable to debate about dehumanising people.

Because that's what fascists do.

They dehumanise people, they pick an enemy & they pretend that they're subhuman, & to debate with a fascist is to say that the value of a person's humanity is worth debating in the first place.

And it's not."

There's only one reason for large political donations and that is to ensure the election of someone who is then beholden to you and your agenda. That's not democracy. That is not acting in the best interests of the UK. It is corruption.
