On Monday, I wrote: "Notice the line about "homophobia" and "LGBT rights" that is always now shoehorned into any discussion of Russia. This has shades of "the burqa" and Afghanistan. How did that work out? How did it work out, even for the wearing of the burqa?"
Lo and behold, Ian Austin has called for a boycott of the World Cup, which Boris Johnson has already made it unsafe for England to attend, because Russia is "a homophobic dictatorship". Austin did not turn up to vote on the British arming of Saudi Arabia.
