You'll notice that Prince William has put forward his view on the FIFA roadshow. Do you

not find it incredible that a senior member of the House of Windsor, likely to become the

unelected head of the British state, should think he can criticize Pope Blatter, 5 times elected ?

What does the Prince have to say, may we enquire, about inherited super-wealth and power?

Expect silence.

Don't they just like to be called The FA - as they are the originals.


Surprised Blatter hasn't forced that to change :)

FWIW whoever replaces Blatter will face the same challenges (to put it diplomatically). Why? Because most countries in the world are corrupt and what we would think of as unfair. In that sense FIFA with its backhanders and pork barreling is a pretty accurate reflection of the world. It would be very surprising if whoever comes next made the organisation transparent and fair. The guy before Blatter was up on this kind of thing too.

I suspect the Feds already had what they needed on Blatter - and the last week or so has been about privately doing a deal in exchange for coming clean and cooperating.

    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath.
