“Britain should have no truck with a body like Fifa, any more than it should with the International Olympic Committee or those who run much of international sport. Five minutes spent with the cuttings, or trawling such websites as playthegame and transparencyinsport, should have stopped Cameron being photographed shaking hands with Blatter at Downing Street. His staff should have read Andrew Jennings’ Foul! on Blatter, and thrown in Christopher Shaw’s Five Ring Circus, about the IOC, for good measure.”
This is wrong headed.
FIFA and the IOC are now perfect images of the UK. After all your not telling me that the FA is run better; with a manager and player earning millions and winning nothing. Just look at the Wembley fiasco.
He should also explain how an organization as currupt as the IOC managed to give the games to London. It wasn’t that London had the best bid.
Of course, the difference for Jenkins is that they are elites that he didn’t go to school with and therefore can’t be trusted.
