Absolute disgrace of a decision.

Refereeing at this tournament has been genuinely horrific at points. The referee said the Moroccan player got the ball here…

Where does he make any contact with the ball?

England due to arrive in Boston just after Scots leave? Boston is about to realise that the notion of a shared 'British culture' is a pile of manure.

Remember when the FIFA President was trying to get the Palestinian Football Association President to shake hands with the monsters committing genocide on his people, and the PFA president refused? 🤔

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.

Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

BBC slammed by Ross Greer live on air over framing of racist disorder in Belfast “Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.”
Greer added: “The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.

That same mosque, on the night of the Clutha Vaults helicopter tragedy, opened its doors and gave shelter, food, water and medical attention to the survivors.
They're the real Glasgow, not this rabble of racist thugs.

• Thugs in Belfast tonight operating a hit list of addresses to target because the people inside are non-white.

• This is exactly what they did in August 1969 when they targeted addresses that were Catholic

It’s the same hate.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

In the UK, sitting peacefully opposing genocide is deemed terrorism whilst burning houses, rioting and targeting minority groups is considered ‘protest’

HISTORY LESSON

The Nazi Party branded itself the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' to appeal to working-class men. After staging massive 'pro-worker' May Day rallies on May 1, 1933, the very next day Hitler banned independent trade unions, seized their assets, and arrested their leaders.

On May 2, 1933, the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and police occupied trade union offices nationwide in a coordinated action. They seized assets, records, and funds while arresting union leaders and officials. Contemporary U.S. State Department reports and other sources noted around 50 prominent arrests in the initial wave, including key figures like Theodor Leipart (chairman of the General German Trade Union Federation, ADGB), Peter Grassmann, and former Labor Minister Rudolf Wissell.

Many more local and regional leaders faced arrests in the following days and weeks. Large numbers endured beatings, imprisonment, or transfer to early concentration camps such as Dachau (opened in March 1933 primarily for political opponents).

Some officials were maltreated immediately, and the action extended to union banks and press offices.

This crackdown dismantled independent German trade unions (with millions of members, many aligned with Social Democrats or leftists) and replaced them with the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front (DAF). It formed part of the broader Gleichschaltung (coordination) process to eliminate independent organizations.

Over the period 1933–1945, thousands of German trade unionists, including leaders, activists, and officials, were arrested and held in prisons or concentration camps. Many suffered torture, extended detention, or surveillance after release. While outright executions of union leaders were relatively fewer in the early phase compared to other groups, many died later from camp maltreatment, disease, execution, or involvement in resistance.

The overall scale of persecution against labour organisers aligns with the regime's aim to crush independent working-class organising rather than immediately exterminate every individual.

This fits the documented pattern of political repression: by the end of July 1933, nearly 27,000 people (mostly political prisoners including communists, socialists, Social Democrats, trade unionists and left-wing activists and intellectuals) were held in early camps and detention sites.

The Nazis moved swiftly after seizing power to neutralise potential opposition from organised labor through mass arrests, violence, and forced integration into a state-controlled structure.

The ultimate hypocrissy here is the Reform voters who will (rightly) cry "you can't call us all far right because of the actions of a minority" will be the ones persistently and cruelly insisting all immigrants are animals because of the actions of a minority.

30 seconds before this went in, I said to my wee brother that we've fucked this up and we're not going to the world cup. About 5 mins later I was in the first aid room getting my ankle bandaged up as I'd sprained it going fucking mental celebrating McLean's goal. What a night!

We're going to have to repeat a lot that many Jewish people don't support Israel's genocide.

Criticism of the Israeli Government and their war crimes has nothing to do with who is or isn't Jewish.

To conflate them like this is both harmful and antisemitic.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Every reply that pretends this is a “list of Jewish people” and “like the Nazis” is outrageously antisemitic. Conflating the IDF and Israel with all Jewish people is antisemitic to the core

Prosecuting individuals who may have committed war crimes is basic adherence to the law.
