This was no ordinary World Cup qualifier. Norway’s discomfort in hosting Israel was clear and an enormous security operation was deemed necessary in Oslo.

The prospect of peace in Gaza has moved closer in the last week, but Norway told the world again that its alliance is with Palestinian people.

Norway vs Israel was months in the planning for authorities, but politics seeped through

Officials from both teams discussed Gaza and the controversy of Saturday's game, while there were protests and a small number of arrests

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness

The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

My favourite Catalan version of that’s a whole different kettle of fish / that’s a horse of a different colour is són figues d'un altre paner. It means “these are figs from another basket.”

A key thing here is that “blame migrants” was imposed on the public from above by successive governments and the national press working very hard, hand in hand over decades, while “blame the rich” seems to be largely organic, arising despite committed efforts to stamp it out.
