I guess Farage, Leon, and other idiots will be cheering for Iran tomorrow.
England players are taking the knee tomorrow.
Taking the knee is not a bad action.
But if they really wanted to make a political point, they should burn a hijab as well.
No, the England team should do THIS
"Message to the @England football team at the #WorldCup for the game v Islamic Republic of Iran 🇮🇷 on Monday. We think it would be amazing if you did this. It would mean more than you could ever imagine."
Just realised that Elon Musk owning Twitter is literally Elon Musk owning the libs
Is it? iirc Twitter's algorithm leans to the right. Maybe you mean the workers, those who are left.
ETA come to think of it, who has Musk's $40 billion made rich? I've not seen stories of Twitter employees with valuable share options. Maybe that all happened when Twitter floated.
Anyone paid in cash for their stock when Musk took over. But Musk was value destruction. Twitter would be a much more valuable proposition if he hadn't bought the company, even if not worth anything near his purchase price..

That would be truly brave. I hope one of the players has the cullions to give it a go if they score
How would you feel if they all did that while taking the knee kneeling before the game?
They can do it butt naked and painted in woad, I don't mind, I just really really want them to do the symbolic hair-snip
If you go on Iranian Protest Twitter you realise this gesture of solidarity TRULY means a lot to them. And all of Iran will be watching this game
They're footballers.
Too thick to innovate so they just follow fads.
I don't think they are all thick. In fact I am sure a few are politically aware, and they will have seen this - in the Welsh and US squads, as well as England
It would be a spine tingling global moment if someone does it. Better than this TERRIBLE Qatar Ecuador game

Not sure it would be particularly helpful, though.
Few in Iran, even among the protesters, are fond of the British. It also gives further ammunition to the clerics and the politicians to paint the protests as foreign inspired and fundamentally anti-Iranian.
Still, if I were an England footballer, I’d probably do it. Bonus points for humiliating Qatar and FIFA.

Scott posts unsubstantiated Tweets that turn out to be factually incorrect very frequently. I find it hard to square that with this declared devotion to fact.
It explicitly illustrates my point.
I post something, and if it's wrong it gets refuted.
That is what is supposed to happen.
It didn't happen with Brexit.
Perhaps here, but in the meantime it's all around Twitter like a nasty rash, and nobody ever sees or hears that it's based on false stats or falsely attributed or edited quotations etc. Because Twitter is used by deeply entrenched people on both sides to get more and more outraged and less and less prepared to see the opposing perspective. So complaining about a world where opinion matters more than fact seems very hollow to me. It's a world that you participate in with vigour.

The previous board did a fantastic job for shareholders in ensuring Musk couldn’t escape from his purchase commitment.

Brazil and Argentina flags everywhere in Calicut, in north Kerala. Followed by Portugal. Massive cardboard cut-outs of Neymar, Messi and Ronaldo abound too! Big screen on the beach!
Are you there, now?
I had a fun couple of weeks in Kerala, a few years back.

And extremely annoying.
Doesn’t seem a particularly coherent philosophy.
Neither criticism seems particularly evidence based.
