6th December, 2025.
In the land of the humpty bongos, where the masticating parrots say “YURT” at frequent intervals …
In the land where flolloping mattresses hunt vagrant stewpots, and rentable conkers fly over the lucid purple clouds, where humming birds argue philosophy with ambulatory begonias …
Where large fish point at passing spoof-wangers …
There exists one thing.
There exists an insistence … on a world that makes rational sense.
Rational sense that does not include something that happened, yesterday.
Rational sense demands that the 47th President of the USA does not get a peace prize from FIFA: from the body that organises international football.
Which is exactly what happened.
The president got a peace prize … from a sports body!
I would say I’m speechless: as speechless as I possibly could be.
But … ?
I’m also thinking that’s the most pointless trophy a football body can hand out …
