Declaraciones de Jurgen Klopp a ZDF, sobre la reanudación del juego retrasada por el árbitro, durante el cooling break del México-Sudáfrica para que terminaran los comerciales de algunas cadenas de TV:
"Esto es el fútbol siendo tomado como rehén por ejecutivos en oficinas con aire acondicionado".

"Estos supuestos 'descansos por el calor' nos los vendieron como un escudo para el bienestar de los jugadores, una noble espada contra el calor. ¿Pero en realidad? No es más que una jaula dorada construida para patrocinadores. Cuando vi a los jugadores parados durante un descanso por calor mientras los tiempos de televisión dictaban el ritmo del partido, no pude evitar preguntarme: ¿a quién está sirviendo realmente la Copa del Mundo? ¿A los aficionados?, ¿A los jugadores?, ¿O a los anunciantes?".

"Un partido de la Copa del Mundo debería fluir como un río. En cambio, estamos construyendo presas en medio de él para que los comerciales puedan pasar. Eso es peligroso para el espíritu del juego. El fútbol alguna vez fue el evento principal, pero ahora corre el riesgo de convertirse en la música de fondo de un espectáculo publicitario. Nos dicen que estos descansos son por el bienestar de los jugadores, y por supuesto la salud de los jugadores importa. Pero cuando el juego empieza a doblar sus rodillas ante los tiempos de la televisión, la gente va a hacer preguntas. El balón se supone que es la estrella. No un descanso comercial".

"La Copa del Mundo es la catedral del fútbol. Sin embargo, a veces da la sensación de que la hemos convertido en un centro comercial donde la caja registradora recibe más respeto que el propio partido. Si este es el futuro, entonces el fútbol ya no está siendo interrumpido por los anuncios. El fútbol se está convirtiendo en la interrupción entre los anuncios".

Trying to imagine the response from the British political class if it was another minority faith community who were locked inside their place of worship as bigots threatened them.
But it’s Muslims… so… who cares!

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”

It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.

Hi @Nigel_Farage now you’re doing press again, maybe tell us about the house in Clacton, the £5m, your friend Nathan Gill, the nature of your relationship with Lois Perry, why you lied about not taking MP surgeries, why you’ve gone so quiet about your friendship with Donald Trump, why you seem to hate female journalists, why your vetting is so poor…

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

I have never been so disinterested in a World Cup. Trump taints everything and the denial of visas to so many people is a disgrace.

Lewis Hamilton says there should be a limit to how much wealth one person can have

"One of the things that I struggle with every day is that there is such a disparity between the wealthy and the poor”

"When you drive around LA there's still so many people living on the streets. You shouldn't be able to have billions"

"I think there should be a limit to how much you can have because there's enough to go around for everyone”

#Sikhs have peacefully practiced their faith carrying a #kirpan (small ceremonial dagger) in #Britain for over a century.

Weapon used in #HenryNowak’s tragic murder was not a kirpan, but a lethal 8 inch armour-piercing blade.

Sikhs deserve better than this knee-jerk reaction.

“Too often, tenant involvement becomes performative. Residents are invited into consultations, focus groups and advisory panels, yet key decisions remain unchanged.”

A Welsh bloke has turned up in our garden. He says the garden is his because he’s a descendant of an Ancient British tribe who lived there. Fair enough.
