Ach.
I felt pretty hollow after the very weak response off someone at VP, tempted to quote it but won’t, but I did respond (when I got conf of the images around VP) about maybe it was too late.
I’d naively hoped things going quiet might have been a positive but too right, where on earth is our line?
I simply don’t have the capacity to organise something like
https://www.gunnersforpeace.co.uk/But I truly hope someone does, it’s the very least we should be doing to speak up about this.
I’m sure you’ll be aware TV it’s not just a country positively promoting itself getting back on track, is a Govt that denies its own history, it’s actual genocide (both sides committed well documented atrocities), the violently, tortuously (is that a word) murderously going for anyone that dares speak the truth. I could go on for pages but it’s all out there. None of this stuff is hidden.
It’s using the good (well I used to think so, famous at least) name of our club to sportswash current atrocities that’s the issue, and that’s without even considering their recent foreign policy.
I had a missed call from my friend tortured by the current regime a couple of days ago, we need to catch up. I still worry about him if we don’t speak in a while due to Kagame’s commandos overseas etc.
There was a possible Beeb radio thing on him in the pipeline, hadn’t really envisaged Vila podcasts…
Well the publicity interviews when the documentary film finally gets finished, am just messaging the director now…this will be opportunity. And response.
Sounds like completion spring/summer 27.
Was just processing losing much loved players but this is a different order of stuff.
