I wonder if the football team is going to go through with their boycott of the Qatar World Cup due to worker fatalities after all?

I hope they keep wearing and showing the T-shirts though, just to call out FIFA on the issue. Would be nice if some other nations could join in.

While on the subject of Norway, today marks 10 years since Anders Breivik murdered 77 of his own people, many of them children, in the name of white supremacy. A sad day for Norway and the world. RIP.

The film 22 July is a very good account of the dreadful incident.

And the film The Workers’ Cup is an excellent account of the construction of the Qatar World Cup venues. It should be essential viewing for all football fans.

He will never be released from prison. It will be reviewed at the end of his sentence but he will stay locked up.

Good for Norway - I hope they keep their protest going & that others join in with it.

The International Handball Federation seriously needs to drag itself into the 21stC.

That's good if true. Obviously a very different legal system to the UK's.

Is that because he remains a danger to the public, unrepentant and with no chance of reform, or because of the political demerits of his release?

Well, he's supposedly become a nazi in prison, so farage will presumably offer to house him on licence.

Of course, they can't appeal it to The Court of Arbitration for Sport because they don't want anything to do with briefs.

I was talking about Breivik, as you well know, but on a grammatical point there is a difference between 'in prison' and 'has been to prison'. Farage may well have been to prison as a visitor, not sure if that could be found by a freedom of information request but maybe we can just speculate on the type of prisoner he would go to see.

This article is off topic but relevant to this post.

https://www.ft.com/content/be85f81c-18f7-4294-850e-dc3a11a420c3

This bit is a chillingly familiar mindset.

'Breivik was explicit in targeting the Labour party and its youth organisation, claiming they were guilty of encouraging multiculturalism and helping Muslims “take over” Norway and western Europe. “The aim of the attacks was to give a symbol to the people. The Labour party has betrayed the country and the people,” Breivik said during his first court appearance according to the judge. “They paid the price for that yesterday.”

Breivik had been a member of the nationalist, anti-immigration Progress party, which has long been defined by its opposition to Labour. But Breivik left Progress well before the attacks, and Labour officials have resolutely refused to pin any blame on the party itself.'
