So, whilst our idea of protest is an anti Trump carnival in London, this group invades the World Cup final knowing that prison and worse awaits, no doubt.

They can spoil my football enjoyment anytime. Truth is inconvenient.

It was undoubtedly brave... but this is the first I’ve heard of it. My DH watched the game, said nothing. I’ve been on and off my phone all day.. nothing. News website, not on the top five.

Hope it wasn’t a totally wasted shot of bravery.

Ruined? Really?

Fitflapflop · 15/07/2018 22:59

Courage? They ruined the game. Sporting events shouldn’t be a place to make a point about something, and they could’ve got seriously hurt. Idiots.

Lass -they do achieve, so not pointless I think.

Can you imagine being that brave?

I mean about 99% of non US population think Trump and his policies are awful. Trump knows that and he doesn't care. The Trump demonstrations were just one huge self- congratulatory pat on the back.

They are very brave to protest like that in Russia. I imagine they will be punished very harshly given what a public stage it was.

LassWiADelicateAir · 15/07/2018 22:38

It was brave but I expect pointless.

Unlike the Trump demonstrations - which were mass virtue signalling, involving no risk and pointless.

I don't watch football but will probably watch for this. Pussy Riot are fab!
