fans, footballers, backroom staff and even Africa's highest-ranked referee have all been refused entry. Tickets are so high that they have started dishing them out to locals, and the standoff between authorities and drunk football fans should be interesting to say the very least. Should the USA have been allowed to host a tournament that is supposed to celebrate all nationalities when the MAGA empire is built on hate and division? We also respond to the mini-backlash re: the Scottish World Cup songs with half an apology. 

We then hear an edited version of that Scottish World Cup song special. Due to copyright, the songs have been edited out. Please do look them up and have a listen.

Thank you to Maco for mixing the audio nice and smooth. 

Support the film here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/innocent-1 With exclusive access to the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation (MOJO), a unique victim support agency based in Glasgow, the film hands back power to those whose stories have been warped by a flawed system, and gives them the opportunity to re-tell their stories in the pursuit of truth. As our contributors recreate scenes from their past, the audience are invited to question truth as we play with the concept of reality: in doing so, we reveal how assumptions can be formed by a jury and how information can be manipulated. This film is part of a wider impact campaign to reform the justice system which results in innocent people staying guilty. Joining the call alongside Hannah will be Scott Jenkins, CEO of the Miscarriage of Justice Organization.
