It is a sign of how much the sport means to so many people all over our country.

Millions of us are looking forward to seeing Steve Clarke's team on the world’s biggest stage.

I'm really glad the First Minister has listened to fans and backed our call for a bank holiday.

JERSEY JAILED THE MAN WHO TRIED TO SAVE ITS CHILDREN

Stuart Syvret @StuartSyvret was Jersey's Health Minister. In 2007 he started asking uncomfortable questions about what was happening to children in the island's care homes. He said he was sacked for whistleblowing. Jersey said he was sacked for his behaviour.

That's the kind of framing you get when the institution decides the story.

Syvret had been collecting his own evidence since 2006. In May 2008 he made a formal complaint to police claiming senior civil servants had perverted the course of justice by covering up abuse in care homes.

So what happened to him? His house was raided. His computers and papers were taken. He was hit with a superinjunction, a secret gag order that was later exposed by UK Parliament, and imprisoned three times in connection with his efforts to expose what he described as horrific crimes across the island.

The Independent Jersey Care Inquiry eventually confirmed that children in care on the island endured 553 offences between 1947 and 2004. Most occurred at the notorious Haut de la Garenne children's home. The inquiry concluded that survivors were left with devastating and life-long consequences.

A constant theme in the inquiry report was the "Jersey Way" - a culture of ignoring and downplaying uncomfortable issues, which allowed abuse to continue without full investigation.

One UK judge called Syvret "a thorn in the side of the Jersey establishment." A Liberal Democrat MP accused Jersey's judiciary of misusing the Data Protection Act to silence critics.

Syvret eventually left Jersey fearing for his life, having received death threats for years. He ended up in an undisclosed location in the United States.

His conclusion, years later: the obstructions to the original police investigation were "astonishing." And those who blew the whistle paid the price while the system stayed intact.

Think about that. The man who raised the alarm about child abuse on a British Crown Dependency got jailed, gagged, and exiled.

If this case matters to you, share it. These children deserved better than this.

UPDATED| We are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of a vulnerable 60-year-old man who is missing in #Southport.

Stephen Molloy was first reported missing at around 9.50pm on Thursday 4 June and was last seen in the Town Lane Kew area. It’s believed he could still be nearby, but it's also possible he travelled further afield most likely on foot or public transport.

We are appealing for anyone who has driven through the area, including taxi and delivery drivers, in the past few days to check their dashcams to see if they captured an image of Stephen or anyone matching his description.

Stephen is described as around 6ft tall, of slim build and dark brown hair.

When last seen, he was wearing a black jumper, blue jeans and carrying a bright yellow bag. We do not believe he currently has the yellow bag with him.

Detective Chief Inspector Dave Jones said: “Stephen's family are becoming increasingly concerned about his welfare and want him to get in touch to let them know he is safe.

"We have carried out significant enquiries and searches to locate Stephen or establish his whereabouts.

“He has links to Crosby, so it’s possible he may have travelled to this area of Sefton. We don’t believe he has any money, so if you have offered Stephen a lift or have helped him in any way then please let us know.

“We would also ask people to check their dashcams to see if Stephen is captured on their footage since he went missing on Thursday evening.

“Stephen is vulnerable and struggles to communicate. It’s possible that he’s taken shelter because he feels safe in dark places. I'd therefore ask anyone who has an outhouse or any form of shelter in a front or rear garden that could be accessible to please check.

"If you live on or near farmland it could also be possible that’s he’s sought shelter within your grounds.

“We will act on any information provided so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you see him or you think you may have any information that could assist our ongoing enquiries.”

If you see Stephen please call 999 so we can make sure he's safe.

🚨Brutal Ferguson Murder: Father Executed for Protecting His Raped Daughter.

A devoted dad was shot dead through his front door in cold blood — all because he refused to stay silent after a monster raped his 15-year-old daughter.

Kcoree Warren did the right thing: he reported the sexual assault and turned down a filthy $12,000 bribe to drop the charges. In revenge, the rapist Lavor Harmon and his family hired a killer to murder him in front of his own kids. Then, to cover their tracks, they executed the hitman the same day.

This is pure evil — witness intimidation at its most heartless. Three cowards have now been charged with double murder. A good father lost his life trying to protect his child, and his community is furious.

Justice must be swift and severe. No mercy for animals who rape children and kill their fathers.
