Karren Brady blasts sport boycotts amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine ‘Hopeless gesture'
Baroness Brady has spoken out against sporting boycotts, calling them a “hopeless gesture”.The Apprentice star has suggested that the measures taken by sporting organisations feel futile in light of Russia’s ruthless invasion of Ukraine.Karren, 52, was left unimpressed by football authorities as they announced that they would be boycotting the Russian city of St Petersburg for the Champions League final. After mounting pressure to address the ongoing crisis in Ukraine with some sort of sanction for Russia, Uefa announced on Friday that the Champions League final will be played at the Stade de France just outside Paris instead of in the Russian city of St Petersburg.In response to the decision, Karren wrote in her column for the Sun: “One cannon snort from a Russian tank and hitting back with the boycott of a football venue looked like what it eventually became, a hopeless gesture.“Despots of the Vladimir Putin kind aren’t going to be put off by the equivalent of smacked legs, the history of failed sports boycotts has repeatedly informed us.”“‘Is that all you’ve got’ is a boxer’s sneer that just about sums up Putin’s attitude to the West’s efforts to persuade him to halt his invasion of Ukraine,” she continued.“It was certainly going to take a good deal more than a threat to take the Champions League final away from St Petersburg, which Uefa finally did.“Uefa’s self-importance and the West’s gullibility led them to think a parcel of financial threats might just sway the thug Putin and his henchmen.”The vice-chairman of West Ham United F.C.

Lord Sugar left ‘always looking over my shoulder’ after being sent antisemitic letters
Alan Sugar became the victim of a hate crime after receiving three distressing letters voicing a desire to "murder all Jews in Britain" or deport them.The Apprentice star has revealed he was left "extremely scared" after the threatening communications, as the perpetrator was finally put behind bars.The letters were sent to one of Alan's company addresses, opened by his assistant, and referred to the police.Though 70-year-old pensioner Patrick Gomes was found responsible and has since been jailed for three years and six months, it has left a lasting effect on Alan, who still feels worried due to the threats.One letter stated: "I would like to murder all Jews in Britain, Alan."Another letter, signed "the Jew hater", continued: "I would round all of you up and put you into camps ready for deportation."There was also an horrific reference to “shoving your screaming head into a hot oven", adding: "We call it baking Jewish bread”.He also wrote: "Welcome to hell, I’m the biggest f****** Jew hater in the whole of Britain.”The pensioner also claimed there was "no anti-semitic element in the Labour Party" in the letters.The perpetrator denied sending any threats, but was caught after his DNA was found in fingerprints found on one of the letters.He was then convicted of religiously aggravated harassment.It had begun after Alan Sugar had made public comments about the Labour Party and its stance on anti-semitism and Patrick Gomes, hearing them, had then become obsessed with targeting the TV star.Alan attended the trial at Chelmsford Crown Court where he made a statement, explaining: "The whole incident has shaken me up and I’m now always looking over my shoulder in case someone is close to me and about to attack me or my

'Quite traumatic' The Apprentice star Ryan-Mark says coming out as gay caused family rift
The Apprentice star Ryan-Mark Parsons has revealed how coming out as gay caused a rift with his family, admitting that he hasn't heard from them in "two years".The youngest-ever Apprentice contestant, 21, who is appearing on Celebs Go Dating soon in a bid to find love, made the revelation in a new interview, branding the incident as "traumatic" and he has since shared the impact it had on his relationship with his family.The star claims that his family found out about his sexuality after gossip between his Apprentice co-stars got back to them before he had a chance to break the news.Ryan-Mark realised he was gay when he was 15 but hadn't confided in his family, only close friends.However, he admitted to telling his Apprentice co-stars in 2019, when he appeared on the show, before claiming that one of them "leaked" the news.Speaking about the incident, he said: "The whole thing left me feeling despondent, deflated and it left me and my family traumatised.”It was only when the show aired later that year, that Ryan-Mark realised that his family had found out about his sexuality.Describing a phone call with his mum, the star said he "could just tell something was wrong".He explained: "She was distant and was giving me short answers."We are so close and I quickly realised that what I had said in confidence on the show had filtered out through social media to my family."They knew I was gay before I had a chance to tell them on my own terms," he added.Addressing the situation, Ryan-Mark told how he didn't deny his sexuality to his "staunch Roman Catholic" family, branding it a "traumatic" experience.He believed that his family was "in shock" after hearing the news secondhand, before adding that his mum was at first "in
