The wrong decision to postpone footballThe Government had given a dictum concerning national mourning stating that there is no obligation to cancel or postpone events or sporting fixtures. The Football Supporters Association said that it was an opportunity missed for football to pay its own special tributes. When all elements are weighed up, including what actually constitutes ‘respect’, it is difficult not to conclude that football made the wrong decision. That’s how Mr Pinto himself is aware of those past transgressions by the USA and Britain. In his letter, Mr Pinto says ‘The energy and food cost nightmare is as much a consequence of western economic sanctions as deliberate malice by Putin’.
