Ellie Made It

I think my most closely held principle is the universality of human rights. It is what tells me how things in the world should work, how people should be treated, and how I ought to value myself.

Conversely, what I see as the great evil of this century is when people and governments have tried to convince us that human rights are not for them, them or them. No, no, no, human rights are definitely for everyone.

If you try to tell me otherwise I think that you either want to exploit, destroy or add hate to the world so that you can exploit or destroy later.

RIP Mr Swales. You had unbelievable chat and an accent that defied categorisation. You had incredible taste in views.

Absolutely not deserved for England but the bright spot is that the tabloids aren't going to eviscerate Lauren James for losing it.

(again all the media build up was about how England have an easy route to the final, paying lip service to Nigeria's excellence)
