That's right Euros are back. Unless you're Scottish.
I promise there is a point to this post. However before I get onto it I have to mention something from today's Euro 2016 football matches.
Today's second match in the second round was between Wales and Northern Ireland. About 80 minutes in Ashley Williams and Jonny Williams - they're Welsh by the way - collided knocking each other out.The medical staff obviously rushed onto the pitch and after they'd both been checked for spinal fractures and regained consciousness it became clear that the captain Ashley Williams could not move his left shoulder suggesting a fracture or dislocation. The medical staff wanted to take him off but he insisted in playing on until the end of the game.
Tonight's match is between Croatia and Portugal. In this game whenever another player or even the ball has come anywhere near Portugal's Nani he immediately falls to the ground clutching his left shoulder. So he's not just diving and feigning injury he's diving and feigning Ashley Williams' injury. I think the referees need to have a word.
That match is still going on as I write. After all it seems the only way players can score these days is when they're awarded a penalty.
Anyway. As for the point.
Between the UK's local elections in May and last Thursday's (23/6/16) EU referendum I feel like I've been slagging off Muslims constantly for the past two months. As such I think I should probably qualify my comments a bit.
In a democracy people vote for people and political parties who best represent them. The UK Labour Party seems to have decided that Muslims are an exciting and exotic novelty and become a bit obsessed with them. At the same time Labour seem to have decided that white working class people are dirty, smelly and only there to be laughed at. Funnily enough white working class voters are not voting for a Labour Party that has made quite clear that it doesn't want to represent them.
This is far from the first time that the Labour Party have got themselves all sweaty and excited over a minority ethnic group. In the 1980's when Labour were equally unelectable they became so obsessed with the black vote that they made ending apartheid in South Africa their main priority. As a result you had lots of scrawny white men like Jeremy Corbyn doing Zulu war dances in Trafalgar Square as if they were leading the Soweto uprising.
I find Labour's fetishism of ethnic groups to be in itself quite racist. If this was a post about the Oscars and we were talking about the 1970's I would describe it as; "Blackploitation."
Basically the Labour Party don't see Muslims as people. Instead they view them as ATM machines that they can use to dispense votes after pressing a few of the right buttons.
A prime example of this was the Rotherham and both the Rochdale child abuse scandals. Here the Labour Party let British Muslim men kidnap, torture and sexually abuse thousands of children. The reaction I got to these scandals from even conservative Muslim nations such as Qatar was along the lines of; "What the F*ck!"
However the British Labour Party's reaction was; "All Muslims are child abusing rapists. If we try and stop them they won't vote for us."
I would have liked to have made this point earlier today. However I was forced to delay lest I send out the wrong sort of message.
This morning I was having the first cigarette of the day while chatting to my father in the garden.
Suddenly a man wearing clearly Islamic dress decided to just let himself onto our property. When my father verbally challenged him he claimed the Fox cubs (we've got 4. They're too cute for me to make them a priority) had stolen his shoes and he demanded to search the entire property for them.
My father politely informed him that we'd checked the property and there were no shoes before asking him to leave. He refused so I politely but firmly explained that we were insisting that he left. I then turned away to finish my cigarette over by the tool shed where we keep the sledgehammers. He continued to argue with my father but when I turned around he decided to leave.
So I'm sure you can appreciate why when Labour MP's burst into tears on TV because someone's sent them a nasty email with some swear words in it I don't think that should be a policing priority.
Fortunately I've worked as both a traffic warden and football steward for 10 years so I can almost literally sh*t that sort of thing out before breakfast.
Today's little performance has it's roots in the June 12th (12/6/16) Pulse nightclub terror attack in Orlando, Florida.
Basically whomever was running Omar Mateen as an agent is really not happy about me standing up to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). They want my G4S/SIA 'Security Clearence' revoked. In short they want to go back to 2013 when I was applying force several times a week, breaking bones and spending night's in jail.
With Rihanna back in London and his constant urging for people to 'Find Their Park' US President Barack Obama seems to be more than willing to oblige. Or at least he was last week.
Anyway back to Brexit.
One of the nastier scare stories Labour put about during the referendum campaign - particularly in London - was that Brexit would lead to the mass deportations of EU migrants. This is what is know in political circles as an utter f*cking lie.
Under the law as it stands any EU migrant has been resident - working is the best way to prove residency - in the UK for 5 years can apply for UK citizenship and provided for example that they haven't been convicted of any serious criminal offences will be granted citzenship. Whether they then give up their original citizenship is really their business. At the earliest the UK won't be leaving the EU until 2018. Therefore even if you only arrived in 2013 there is nothing to worry about.
However you know those European Health Insurance Cards (EHICS). You know the ones you've handed out to all your friends and family back home so they can bill all their medical treatment to Britain's NHS? Yeah, that's not going to work anymore.
As for Nigel Farage's announcement that he can't guarantee that the GBP3bn that Britain saves by leaving the EU will be spent on the NHS he's quite right. What that money is spent on is decided by the elected government of the day.
As Farage is not currently part of that government he can no more guarantee what they're going to spend that money on then I can. It might be an idea for the Labour Party to take off the Burqa and pull their socks up though.
This mass deportation lie is now being circulated aggressively by the Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon.
As is the party's default position Sturgeon wants to exploit Brexit to hold a referendum on Scottish Independence. The promise being that an independent Scotland will be allowed to disregard every relevant EU and United Nation's (UN) treaty in existence and automatically become an EU member.
The problem is that no-one in the EU wants to talk to Nicola Sturgeon.
As a result she is deliberately spreading this scare story amongst EU migrants living in Scotland in the hope they will contact their national governments. The thinking being that this will put pressure on those EU governments to return Nicola Sturgeon's phonecalls.
