There are two kinds of people susan sarandon pays the price and was fired from Hollywood for saying stop killing children in Palestine
And the other gwyneth paltrow gets paid to market cities built upon the blood of children and the rubble of what was once their homeland
๐จBREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics
"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."
"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."
"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."
"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."
"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."
"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."
"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."
"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."
"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."
The Epstein World Cup is about to kick off soon and the new promo dropped

Well said Brian Kerr, always standing with Palestine. The FAI cannot shirk its responsibilities by moving the game, it has to boycott both Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. #StopTheGame

@Nick_Delehanty If the Irish government does not opt out of this agreement in the next 3 days, the riots will be on the streets of Dublin by the weekend.
@thejournal_ie I've recently seen an oil refinery go up in smoke in the Ukraine v Russia war and probably the most bombs dropped in any war ever in the Middle East over the past year or two... and they tell us more carbon taxes for a few farting cows. Only one word for it... Bollix!
๐จ DID YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING?
DID YOU KNOW Ireland has 10 times the average number of data centres per capita compared to every other EU country except Germany? Did you know that Data centres in Ireland USE MORE electricity than ALL households combined? (Source CSO). Did you know that they are projected to use between 26% and 30% of all electricity in Ireland this year? (By comparison it is around 2% to 4% in other countries). Did you know that you pay 45% more for electricity than any other EU citizen outside of Ireland? Did you know these centres are why you are being pressured to cut your consumption and only use electricity at "non peak" times? (Tip: do not get a "smart metre", as it can be used to control your consumption forcibly in the future).
Did you know data centres are linked to causing health issues for those in close proximity to them? Did you know that, in paying for their electricity, we are essentially paying for AI to replace us? (these centres are needed to power AI technology).
Did you know the average size is 20,000 square metres? Did you know that these data centres use all our "sustainable wind energy" and that the mega turbines near people's homes are only for corporate benefit? Which they don't pay for? You've been sold the idea that sustainable energy wind turbines would LOWER electricity costs, but this has NOT been the case. It has been the opposite.
Do you know so many people have been removed from their homes to build them and the people who live near them are experiencing health issues due to noise and other factors?
Did you know the average mid-large centre uses 100 to 120 million litres of water per year also? Hyper scale campuses need 600 million litres a year and it is roughly 300,000 litres per day for mid sized campuses. This is mostly used for cooling on hot summer days...is this why the skies look as they do?).
Did you know that Ireland is on course to become one massive data centre due to the demands of ever growing AI technology and usage? Essentially for all interest and purposes AI will replace humans in many respects. Facebook (Meta) laid off several hundred employees last week. But not before using those employees to train AI to replace them. Did you know that the virus like expansion of data centres underscores a lie that is going unchallenged? The notion of climate change.
These centres use up so much non sustainable energy as well as sustainable energy. So once again...don't get that flight to Spain or drive your petrol or diesel car as you could destroy the planet. But nevermind all those data centres...
This is why YOUR bills are unaffordable. This is WHY 300,000 families and individuals are in electricity arrears. Why are we paying for huge multinationals who make billions and produce nothing?
Why is the government allowing this? (because they work for them, not us).
We are being screwed a thousand ways to Sunday and back.
It is criminal.
We did try to warn you. ๐คซ
After ploughing billions into the Quango #IrishWater rather than just funding the county councils the FFG Government are complaining that they are unaccountable
#IrishWater, pissing people off for over a decade.
