A Troubled Parliament?

Thursday, June 4th, 2015

The first impression of this new parliament is not one of a government honeymoon following the Tory victory, but of troubles piling up. There is increasing worry across party lines about growing inequality without anyone appearing to have a convincing answer; there is uncertainty about the negotiations with the EU; there is uncertainty about the Union and how it is going to work and what will happen about English votes; there is concern about the ultimate legality of  the proposed Bill of Rights, the sale of Social Housing to tenants and now it seems the changes to the government’s powers to, via the security services, snoop on private communications in the interests of national security which is being challenged in the courts. And not by some libertarian fruitcake either, but by two very highly respected M.Ps. Well now, what do we make of that?

And then there are those cuts about which the government will sooner or later have to come clean.

FIFA: The Pips Squeak

Thursday, June 4th, 2015

It used to be said that if you squeeze a lemon hard enough the pips in it will squeak. This blog professes no expertise on the world of football and has always found the goings on at FIFA difficult to fathom. On the one hand it has had an extraordinary success in bringing football to almost all parts of the world and in funding the basic infrastructure of the game in the most undeveloped countries. The World Cup is a sporting event only surpassed by the Olympics. On the other there have been persistent rumours, accusations and pieces of evidence, which point to bribery and corruption on an alarming scale within and beyond this remarkable institution which has hitherto been far too widely accepted as a law unto itself.

Now the law is beginning to catch up and as the squeeze tightens on persons who have hitherto thought themselves untouchable, some are beginning to squeak  in a bid to save as much as possible of their skins. For FIFA as the world knows it, this is now the end game. It will be a very long one for sure but exactly how it will end and what will happen to whom is yet far from clear.
