“Don’t be like the men of Cologne”

Videoen indledes med et to et halvt minut Noam Chomsky-citat. Det må være det rette tidspunkt for denne Black Pigeon med to døgn til finalen Frankrig-Kroatien. Jeg holder med David (Kroatien) mod Goliath (Frankrig), fordi jeg har venner i Kraotien og mange lyse minder derfra. Det bliver den første VM-kamp, jeg ser, antagelig fordi jeg ikke har TV. Jeg kan gå 200 meter ned ad gaden til et af flere værtshuse og se den på en stor skærm med de lokale fra kvarteret. Hep, hep, Kroatien. Lad mig minde om, hvad George Orwell skrev i The Sporting Spirit i 1945 (1460 ord, som en kort kronik)

“[Football] has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.”

Gode nyheder til Tommy Robinson-demonstrationerne i morgen

Det er både i København og i London.

Ezra Levant skriver:

I have incredible news from Tommy Robinson’s family, and I have been asked to share it with you.

First, as you know, the government had delayed the court date for Tommy’s appeal from July 10 to July 24, making him rot in solitary confinement for two more weeks. Well, that date has moved again, but it is now sooner:

Tommy Robinson’s appeal will now be heard on July 18.

Second, there is a new judge.

The first judge appointed was Lord Justice Brian Leveson, the head of all criminal justice in the United Kingdom.

But now there are a panel of three judges, presided over by Sir Ian Burnett, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.

It would be as if, in the US, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States were personally hearing the case.

Third piece of news:

Tommy has asked me to personally come to London to attend at court.

He doesn’t trust the mainstream media to report fairly on his case. And I agree.

I have just bought my plane tickets and a hotel on Expedia. I’m travelling economically, but because I’m booking with less than a week’s notice, I’m afraid the cost is $2,500 Canadian, or about £1,400.

I need to crowdfund that. Please donate below to help me recover the cost of this trip.
