A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa #Somalia #GianniInfantino #CAF #OmarAtan #DonaldTrump

@OleRees @ukhpinfo @rawespresso It’s not apples and oranges. You own the house after 25 years so you are then paying by £0 to live in it as opposed to continuing to pay to rent because the other choice is homelessness.

@AaronBastani @Geiger_Capital He’s not talking about colour, he’s talking about culture. It’s hard to argue ours is changing, fast.

This might be the craziest stat you'll see all summer about the World Cup. 🤯

Crystal Palace will have more players at the World Cup (12) than Real Madrid (10). 🦅

Bear in mind that during the inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing, it came out that security guard Kyle Lawler had actually spotted suicide bomber Salman Abedi before.

Abedi was fidgety and sweating in a bulky jacket on a warm night, and carrying a large backpack. Lawler had a “bad feeling” and thought something was wrong, but he hesitated and failed to report it properly. His exact words:

“I did not want people to think I am stereotyping him because of his race… I was scared of being wrong and being branded a racist if I got it wrong and would have got into trouble.”

22 innocents were killed; hundreds scarred for life.

This bloodbath should have been the final wake-up call about the lethal insanity of “anti-racism” and the deranged cult that treats being called racist as the ultimate unforgivable sin.

Instead, Britain doubled down and rammed this poisonous ideology even deeper into the College of Policing’s training.

Time to scrap the race-baiting training and fire the ideologues. Or keep burying more young, innocent Brits.

My forecast on this from 2016:

“Our 1990s-era multiculturalism was intended to bring about diverse communities. Instead, it brought about monocultural ghettos…Two complementary trends arose together that culturally disintegrated Britain. Within my own Muslim communities, Islamism, a theocratic ideology, which sought to impose a version of Islam over society, emerged practically unchallenged to insist that we were Muslims to the exclusion of every other identity. Meanwhile, among mainstream liberals, multiculturalism came to mean diversity between, rather than within, groups…. As a country we ended up living together, apart.”

@2147mill Renting is definitely more than a mortgage

[Joe Harrington @HarringtonJoe]

@UK_Compounder @2147mill You also have to think about inflation.

£2500 at yr 1 of retirement will not be the same as £2500 in year 10

Here's a chart for anyone still willing to believe that #Brexit has knocked 8% off the UK economy...

The lines show what has actually happened to GDP in the UK, France and Germany since the vote to leave.

The green unicorn shows where the UK would be if GDP were 8% higher 🤔

@marksconway @SustainableTall 100%, i hate the fact architecture has gone completely out of the window. We could have beautiful cities.

Rondo at Stratford is a rare exception where they've made something that should still look lovely in 20 years.

@BellaWallerstei Annoying that I have to agree with her on something 😞

@OutlierBlackBox Did not know that. V useful!

On the one hand, two wealthy, successful men living their lifelong dreams get called a horrible name at the Baftas
On the other, a man with a lifelong, life-crippling neurological condition now held up for global mockery.

Hard not to see this as the endpoint of identity politics

In the last 24 hours alone we’ve learned the deputy leader of the Greens joined a protest in support of a regime that’s planned 20 terror plots against Britain while their new spin doctor denied Jews were raped on October 7th. The Greens are a major threat to our country.

If you call yourself a progressive, and you’re not even a little excited by the prospect of a woman-hating, gay-hating, Jew-hating neanderthal regime that in no way represents the will of its people being crushed, you’re not actually a progressive.

Nothing is quite as European as demanding that your emergency WW3 meeting must only occur during normal office hours.

Iran conflict officially on hold until Monday because the EU leadership does not work on weekends

Utmost importance / Monday.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

I am a woman from Iran. Let me tell you honestly how women like me see politicians like you in America, women who speak about freedom from the safety of Congress while sympathizing with our killers under Islamic regimes.

You stand next to the American flag, speaking about freedom. Now you launch campaigns saying, “No War With Iran.”

Now I want to introduce you to a brave Iranian woman who understood America better than you ever will.

Her name is Sara Saeidi.
Born and raised in Iran.
39 years old.
A mother of two daughters, 19 and 6.

She was shot in the head for the “crime” of peacefully protesting while wearing a sweatshirt that said MANHATTAN, with the American flag beneath it.

While you stood in Congress under that flag, she carried its name on her chest, not as symbolism for a photo opportunity but as a dream.

Three days after she was killed, her body was returned to her family only after threats and money were taken from them. They were banned from holding a proper funeral. Authorities falsified the circumstances of her death.

That is the regime you refuse to confront clearly.

She wanted the freedom Manhattan represents, the freedom to live without fear, without morality police, without a bullet in her head. The same freedom protected by the Constitution you swore to uphold.

You speak of “No War With Iran,�� but you refuse to condemn the war being waged against us, the Iranian people, by the Islamic Republic.

More than 30,000 unarmed civilians have been killed.
Women blinded.
Teenagers hanged.
Mothers executed.

When American lawmakers like you reduce this reality to a partisan talking point, you do the regime’s work for it. Dictatorships thrive when moral clarity disappears and when lawmakers choose ambiguity instead of standing firmly with victims.

You call yourself anti war. But where is your condemnation of the regime’s massacre? Where is your outrage at its war against its own people? You are anti-Iranian women.💔

Peace without justice is surrender.

Your hatred of President Trump appears stronger than your love for America, stronger than your love for Manhattan, for freedom, for women’s rights. That is why you sound sympathetic to the Islamic Republic while remaining silent about women like Sara, like me, and like millions of Iranians who are victims of this barbaric regime.
You celebrating hijab day in Manhattan in beautiful New York and watching women get killed in Iran for not wearing hijab.
I dare you to share the picture of Sara, and say no to the war being wage by Islamist terrorist on us, Iranians.
