@Feargal_Sharkey This is the level of contempt the water bosses have for us all


Mark Ashton, Chairman of Ipswich Town FC, has just delivered a masterclass in institutional cowardice. Unreservedly apologising for the “hurt, pain and distress” caused by hosting an elected Member of Parliament, Nigel Farage? Not for some scandal, but for the unpardonable sin of allowing democracy to set foot in a football stadium. This is not compassion. It is the snivelling capitulation of a man who mistakes the shrieking of a Twitter minority for moral authority. One watches such a spectacle with horror: another British institution folding before the mob, reviewing its “policy on engaging with politicians” as though free association were now a hate crime. Pathetic, spineless, and beneath contempt. Britain deserves leaders with spines, not this grovelling.
