The world cup begins today. I'm looking forward to seeing some good football and the unity and solidarity that sport can at times produce. 'At times', has to be emphasised. The spending of huge sums of money and at the same time the perception of the neglect and even disregard of those in real need raises the question 'in whose interest does these and indeed any of the 'World Games' operate? Ethical government has to operate in the interest of the most vulnerable and there seems to be a significant group of the most vulnerable who experience anything but unity and solidarity from the world cup being in their country.
