And if this government is now serious about this, they must prove it.
It is not enough to attack Farage and co's racism, they must speak up proudly for modern, multicultural Britain. They must celebrate how immigration has enriched this country, and stop the demonisation of immigrants.

This kind of thing, along with (dynamic) ticket pricing, etc., was the reason FIFA chose the United States as a World Cup host. Elements of the US sporting experience allow it to exploit fans. Wrote about it here for the Morning Star. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/fifa...
FIFA is selling parking spots near 2026 World Cup stadiums for between $75 & $175 per spot & per gameday.
A 2026 parking pass alone, at $75 in the group stage, costs more than a Category 3 ticket to any group match at the 2022 World Cup, which was $69.
