Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Just ask Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi, who was reprimanded for wearing a rainbow armband declaring “I love Jesus”, apparently transgressing the FA’s rule not to use equipment to promote political, religious or personal slogans. But what are those armbands promoted by the Premier League if not a blatant partisan campaign slogan for inclusion ideologies? Over the weekend, it was announced that the FA is facing legal action over its Rainbow Laces campaign and claims that the annual show of cheerleading for LGBTQ+ interests breaches the governing body’s ban on political messaging. This has nothing to do with people, by the way.
