Round-up

1. In this article in the Daily Mail, Neil Moxley complains that despite FIFA's claims to "abhor" racism, it only fined Croatia £15,000 for the racist taunts of its fans towards Emile Heskey earlier this month.

But wait, isn't the Daily Mail a racist paper? Whoops.

2. Army chiefs want foreign recruit numbers to be capped to safeguard 'Britishness' within the ranks. They have demanded a 15 per cent limit amid fears the soaring numbers of foreign troops would dilute the force's cultural identity.

I think anyone who is loyal to the Queen, regardless of their nationality, should be allowed in the army, but I can see why the Army chiefs might want this, as it is representative of a larger problem in Britain as a whole.
