Exactly, but this is further evidence that they don't believe in what they claimed to. It was just a handy excuse.
It is horrific. The blind acceptance is bad enough but FIFA's pandering takes this to a new level.
Interesting to see, yet again that the 'EU's taking our sovereignty' brigade, who wanted us to *take back control' now think the UK should just roll over for Trump and isn't entitled to hold a different view.
I still can't quite believe what Trump has got away with since his current term of office began. Evil, immoral actions and still it's largely accepted internationally. Will anything actually prompt someone to stand up to him? And of course FIFA, sponsors and media outlets will just carry on as usual

I'd rather it went somewhere else to be honest, but we've had none here. It's been further west.
Bonkers. Colder this morning in Dunston and along the Tyne Valley than it was for much of February and snow continuing to fall along the Co. Durham/Northumberland border.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Issue 1500. Crazy to think my predecessors were reporting/ interviewing people for articles when Queen Victoria was on the throne. If I'm still writing by our 2000th issue, I'll be 92! Big thanks to all who offer pics and info and all contacts without whom it wouldn't be possible to do what we do.

Early Spring in the West Highlands, the snow remains on the peaks, and the greenery of the hills is yet to come through. The Metro-Cammell built 156, the mainstay of the line for many years eases its way off the Horseshoe curve.

On 7th May why not join us for a stroll around part of the Georgian Quarter of Liverpool. We will see plenty of beautiful Georgian architecture but also Victorian property, post war reconstruction, a Liverpool first and a building in serious need of some TLC:

Thank you. A very special girl who didn't have a great start to life. As a young mum on the streets in Greece she developed a chest infection and ended up in the care of a rescue charity. When we adopted her in the UK she was poorly again, but now settled and, touch wood, in much better health.
Grimes (predictably) even had a go at the BBC for questioning him about it. No way he should be in public office.

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.
So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.
