The joy of six
WHAT an incredible start.
England’s ruthless, nerveless young Lions hammered in six and the country went potty. The omens are fantastic.

And Wales, too, looked impressive battling back for a draw with the USA.
It was a joyful day marred only by the grotesque uselessness of Fifa and the gutless football associations buckling to its edicts.
Our FA vowed to take a stand on Qatar’s appalling human rights record, then capitulated at the slightest threat over the One Love armbands.
Fifa’s chief buffoon Gianni Infantino, sucking up to his homophobic Qatari hosts, wants politics kept out of football except when it comes to HIM attacking Europe for “3,000 years” of wrongdoing.

One fellow traveller who apparently WON’T rejoin, or accept free movement, is Labour’s Keir Starmer.
He now insists business must wean itself off migrants.
Quite right.
Although those with longer memories will recall his years as champion of the “People’s Vote” . . . designed to keep our borders wide open.

AT least the failed Cop27 eco summit exposed the real climate villains.
China and India are not only two of the top three polluters but they won’t pay into any “reparations” fund.
