    It is about time someone deserving finally won the FIFA Peace Prize.

    And he did! After selling all that military equipment to Israel to aid their genocide of the Palestinians, encouraging Volodymyr Zelensky to give up the Donbas region to end the war in Ukraine,
    threatening Canada, Greenland, Panama etc with military action, it was thoroughly deserved!!

    I even saw it described as a prestigious prize! Doesn't the very first winner being Trump immediately prove that there's no prestige whatsoever to it?!!

    What's the point of it even existing!?

    On a related note, I saw a photo of Infantino presenting Trump with a ticket to the World Cup Final! So Donald Trump even gets a (presumably) free ticket to the World Cup Final too!! What's he done to deserve that?!

    It's an award that shows how corrupt FIFA are... and how much
    of a farce the World Cup has become.

    even gets a (presumably) free ticket to the World Cup Final
    too!!

    The leader of a World Cup host nation getting a free ticket to
    the Final is nothing new to be fair.

    What's he done to deserve that?!

    Trump is the most powerful man on the planet so Uncle Gianni
    considers that deserving enough to be licking his arse.

    I want the FIFA Peace prize. I don't know why when it's so meaningless, maybe it's the public recognition that attracts me, or maybe I just want to prove a point to FIFA or something.

    I've e-mailed my MP, and asked him to get the British government to stop selling military equipment to Israel, do whatever he can to get a ceasefire in the Isreal-Palestine war,
    and bring the Israelis to justice via the ICC; and I've signed a petition to get the British government to stop selling military equipment to Israel. That's more than Donald Trump's done.

    Please will you all contact FIFA and nominate me for next year's prize?

    I've nominated me myself now. Here's a copy of the message I just sent to FIFA:

    I'd like to nominate myself for the FIFA peace prize.

    I've e-mailed my MP, and asked him to get the British government to stop selling military equipment to Israel, do whatever he can to get a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine war, and bring the Israelis to justice via the ICC; and I've signed a petition to get the British government to stop selling military equipment to Israel.

    As a result of this, there is currently a ceasefire in Palestine and Britain have stopped giving licenses to companies selling military equipment that ends up being used by Israel.

    I've also not threatened Canada, Greenland or Panama, or any other country with military action, and not done anything to worsen the situation in Ukraine. I think my contribution to peace in the world amounts to more than all the previous winners put together. So I think Mark would be a worthy winner of next year's prize.



    What do you think of what I wrote to them?
