Well...something like 150 countries' independence days are against the British. Oh and they used to genocide right up there with the best of them.
Well maybe the world shouldn't have dressed like that having all their resources just showing for everyone to see!
Also, counting Olympic medals is a terrible way to judge a nation's athleticism. On the one hand, you can have a squad of 26 athletes that stand out in the world's most popular sport and at most they can win one medal. On the other hand, a nation that produces 3 very good swimmers can potentially win over 15 medals in a single Olympics.
I used West Germany because their population was similar to England's, and they had won enough stuff to prove that a nation that size could win stuff..
Oh dear Football Australia blindsided by Sam Kerr's UK harassment charge - video The Guardian|8 hours ago Football Australia say they only found out about the allegation of racially aggravated harassment against captain and striker Sam Kerr in the UK Sam Kerr: New details over Chelsea star's taxi incident which led to racial harassment charge The Mirror|11 hours ago Sam Kerr has pleaded not guilty to the alleged racial harrassment of a police officer following a complaint over a taxi fare in January of last year, with the Chelsea star facing a four-day trial in e
So the trial will happen about 2 years after the alleged incident. I guess the UK doesn't have the "right to a speedy trial" clause
This is quite a good article about the fallacy of the reflexive contrarianism of large swathes of the pundit class it focusses on Bari Weiss's Free Press pushing some George Floyd truthing which of course was simply crap that fed their priors about racism in america The heterodoxists bill themselves as skeptics who are immune to the trappings of tribalism, partisanship, and the status quo. They alone can see through all the cant and pieties and get to the real truth. They believe that only those with an appropriate loathing of wokeism and a sneering contempt for consensus can see things for what they really are. They dislike elites and are suspicious of experts. This is how someone like Hughes, who writes and debates about race in the U.S., can become an overnight expert on a complex case about police brutality and, without an iota of humility, second-guess its verdict by discarding reams of expert witnesses, forensics, and other evidence based on a conspiratorial documentary. Or how a business journalist like Nocera can make confident pronouncements about crime and policing. But a posture that approaches issues from the standpoint of overturning conventional wisdom and offering edgy takes isn’t any more conducive to truth seeking than what the heterodoxists rail against, which is perhaps why these pieces are so often riddled with errors and misunderstandings. Yet, for them, the mainstream media’s lapses are part of an agenda, while their own lapses are just part of the debate. It isn’t that all the heterodox types have gone full MAGA. It’s just that they seem to loathe racial and social justice activists much more than they oppose Trump, or favor reform. So any time a counter-narrative emerges, they tend to ditch their avowed skepticism and latch onto it. In the end, despite heterodoxism’s claims to be a tribeless, iconoclastic way of thinking that gives it some special powers to get to the truth, it’s really just a different sort of ideological tribe, with the same biases, preconceptions, and vulnerability to audience capture as any other. Once you’ve let your opposition to orthodoxies define you, you’re just another orthodoxy. https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/the-war-on-the-woke-trumps-the-truth

Gsus. Antonio Rüdiger and the DFB aregoing to sue a former Bild editor for insinuating Antonio is linked to terrorism. When you read the "explanation" of that dude Julian Reichelt you can't escape the impression some people look for any grain of salt to discredit a certain part of the population.
Googled. Did the Germans ever really get rid of the conservative element that was so destructive in WWII?
