It takes a nation to protect the nation
Tags:
I don't know about football specifically, as it is a game of luck as well as of skill etc , but in terms of general sports, and indeed of general health and fitness, I think that the continual brow-beating and guilt tripping that is inflicted on indiginous British kids does have a certain demoralising and adverse impact which will affect their ability.
Though it is of course only part of the mix, others being lack of self-discipline and drive, sitting around playing computer games and drinking/smoking dope etc
The bluring of national boundaries is part of the process of the EU project. On the otherhand, freedom of commerce would allow for buying and selling of players across borders. I think it up to the FA to sort out the situation. I like what Alan Shearer is saying that only English born players should play in the national team. That is a start anyway to recovering the national game.
I believe only people born in a country should play for that country. Other wise they're just mercenaries. This may seem harsh on some players who have come to this country, or any other country for that matter, and become nationals of that country and accepted that country as their own. Maybe I'm being to rigid in my view. But I know plenty of Black people and Indian people who support the country of their Parents when it comes to national sports and no one has a problem with that.
I think the rules should be strict and hurt feelings should not come into it. My mind always goes back to the 'Zola Budd' case, where a South African girl was allowed to run for Britain in the Olympics, because she ate a Cornish pasty once, or some other stupid reason.
Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
