By far my favourite Scotland vs Brazil story is the referee saying “Good luck, may the best team win” to both captains before the game in 1982 and Graeme Souness replying “I fucking hope not”
.@YvetteCooperMP Cooper’s two posts, one after the other, beautifully capture the hypocrisy at the heart of Western diplomacy, thanks to these two events occurring almost side by side.
Russia’s strikes = “egregious actions,” “recklessness,” solidarity pledged.
Israel’s strikes = “risk setting back negotiations,” “must be avoided.”
Two different languages, two different standards. The real world order for all to see.
