Have we really not evolved beyond the ancient British results-day tradition of plastering pictures of young women and girls all over the coverage? A-levels, GCSEs, BTECs: apparently academic achievement still requires a photogenic group of teenage girls standing in a row. Beyond embarrassing.
Trump staying on the podium for the trophy lift as Infantino tries to awkwardly shepherd him off was just a perfect microcosm of this World Cup and its organisation. Congratulations to Spain. FIFA and Trump... can fuck off.
I feel like I've seen the beginning of this movie before. It did not end well for humanity.

Nigel Farage, Robert Jenrick and Zia Yusuf lined up to give quotes on how they're "anti-establishment".

He doesn’t care about Henry Nowak. He didn’t care about Sarah Everard. He cares about the headline. The fresh wound he can pick at until it bleeds votes. Not leadership. Not justice. Not grief. Just the same old grift. He's a charlatan. A fraud. A conman. He's a revolting opportunist.
