When dimwits tell me that Brexit gave the UK sovereignty, I remind them that each EU nation is its own sovereign territory! Italian authorities have deported an imam of Pakistani origin after concluding that his public statements were incompatible with Italy's legal framework.
Umberto Eco: “Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak—people who once only talked at the bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community. They were quickly silenced… It’s the invasion of the idiots.”
Aldous Huxley warned that people are controlled when they "come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think". This is our Brave New World:
How to corrupt the noble sport of football with glitz and vulgarity! FIFA and Infantino have desecrated the noble spirit of football. Not watching any longer… I’ll catch up with the final result tomorrow. The magic is dead! 💤 😴
Farage is riding on Trump’s philosophy that voters need a ‘loudmouth hero’ to cheer on at all costs; a tribal politics to win over the disenchanted, uneducated masses thus avoiding scrutiny. Farage didn’t bargain for the fact that the British have history, heritage and culture. No MAGA in the UK!
When megalomaniacs turn to corruption and power to get their way, they reveal the morally bankrupt and corruptible nature of those who accept their bribes and play along, in this case Infantino and FIFA. This will be a treacherous stain to wash off!
Will he or won’t he attend? I’m not holding my breath 🤣
IRAN captain Mehdi Taremi has launched a blistering attack on Fifa saying that Fifa & Infantino have “done nothing” to help them. They were singled out and harassed with travel & visa issues throughout, changing their base-camp plans from the US to Mexico and altering their travel plans constantly
10 years of self-harm and Isolation, with an exponential increase in racism, hatred, illegal migration, dependency, political instability, economic hardship and social inequality. Happy Birthday
Trump is so popular in the world he’s always in the headlines on international newspapers.
We sadly lose friends and loved ones on the road of life for reasons beyond our control. In the meantime, don’t let digital connections replace genuine human relationships.
What was the buffoon thinking when he made up his little story that Italian PM was begging for a photo with him. What a sad psychopath
This really sums it all up. Meanwhile Trump's dementia was on full display last night during his speech. Among other rambling gibberish he claimed: “I'm not a senior. I cater to the seniors, but I don't happen to be a senior myself.” In denial also about his age.
Despite Infantino’s (and Trump’s) insistence that “everyone will be welcomed to the USA”, Switzerland striker Embolo, Somalian referee Artan and Iran’s head coach were among the first to be rejected. These are the ones that make the news. Many other fans are being refused entry!
When the game is over, the king and the pawn end up in the same box.
Very often some MAGA troll or Reform racist comments on my post with such stupidity that I just don’t bother answering. Arguing with blinkered cultists is really a waste of time and energy.
