I’ve written a petition for the parliament petition site:
Don’t send England football team to Russia, hold alternative tournament instead
In view of the nerve agent attack in Salisbury, we shouldn’t sent the England team to the 2018 FIFA world cup. Instead we should persuade FIFA to hold the tournament in another country. If that isn’t possible, we and our allies should hold our own rival tournament.
The recent attack in Salisbury against Sergei Skripal using a novichok nerve agent was the latest in a long line of misdeeds by Putin, which include poisoning Alexander Litvinenko with polonium, annexing Crimea and shooting down a Malaysian airliner killing 298 people. Putin wants to use the football World Cup to make his bloodstained regime look good. If England — and as many other countries as possible — stay away, we will deny him this opportunity.
It needs 5 supporters to go to the next step — where staff review it before it can go live. You can sign it here.
