Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 3d agoCharlie Downes, 25 year old campaigns director of Restore Britain, has been clear that he believes having white British ancestry & being Christian are necessary to be British.

As someone who doesn't follow football at all, the entire footballing world being up in arms at someone being a mercenary cash-grabbing bastard is baffling. Like, we must not stain the sanctity of the Saudi Arabia World Cup Sponsored By Budweiser with filthy lucre!
