I'm all for extra bank holidays (personally I think Scotland should get one when England loses), but I don't understand what all the fuss about the football is about? Didn't England already win the Euros in 2022? Don't remember any extra bank holidays then.

This is not a win against the far-right. If you think these powers won't be used against left-wing climate & 🇵🇸 protesters, you are mistaken. Tackling the rise of the far-right will require a change in rhetoric from politicians and the media, not a clampdown on civil liberties.
