Pickles #2/9

From the publisher:

We started working on this issue as a global pandemic was declared and football pulled up the drawbridge. It’s left us pondering the role football plays in our lives and the sense of identity it gives us. So the latest issue focuses on football and politics: how they rarely mix and why they probably should more often. From Antonio Conte’s reign at Inter Milan and past allegiance to Juventus, to the games ongoing failure to address the issue of racism. And Ian McMillan, the Bard of Barnsley, remembers a time when we could aimlessly stare out of a train window. Ahhh, 2019.
