Mayday is calling for England to pull out of the World Cup and I reckon it's an appalling move. I appreciate that she's in a lather about the double agent getting topped on British soil and she can get great political capital by complaining about it, but the reality is that we can't hurt Russia economically (God knows what would happen if they turned off our gas supply!) or militarily (they'd whup our ass) so now she wants to drag sport into her personal political campaign.
Not that England withdrawing from the World Cup to be replaced by the next team up would make the slightest difference to Russia.
Not that MI6 haven't topped spies in foreign countries - like forever.
No, this about being seen to be outraged and she doesn't mind using the World Cup as a political football, so to speak, and football is already mired in a battle against politicising sport (Blatter and Qatar for example) so it''s the last thing we need. IMO.
Anyone think there's any point on withdrawing?
