Ronaldo is the perfect ambassador for the coming World Cup. An avatar for greed, selfishness, ego, corruption, toxic masculinity, and lack of consequences for one’s actions.
Cristiano Ronaldo has magically had his ban reduced so he can start the World Cup. There is no precedent...but then he met the President. How depressing...

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?
Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

Yes, I can be a pernickety bugger, but I don't think I'm being unreasonable in thinking that whether one of its regions does or does not still have sections of line controlled by semaphore signalling is the sort of thing that Network Rail probably *should* know?
