UK police chiefs have criticized the government's last-minute decision to allow pubs to stay open until 5am on 6 July for England's World Cup match against Mexico. The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) expressed concern that the late announcement would force police to divert resources from community policing and potentially lead to increased violence and domestic abuse due to alcohol-related incidents.

U nedjelju navečer po lokalnom vremenu Engleska se suočava s Meksikom na Svjetskom prvenstvu u posljednjih 16, ali meč počinje u ponedjeljak u 1 ujutro za gledatelje u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu zbog razlike u vremenskoj zoni. U početku su postojale rasprave o pomicanju meča u kasnije vrijeme kako bi se smjestio navijačima, ali je potvrđeno da je raspored ostao nepromijenjen. Kao odgovor na zabrinutost navijača, premijer Sir Keir Starmer najavio je da će pubovima u Engleskoj i Walesu biti dopušteno ostati otvoreni do 5 ujutro za utakmicu, uklanjajući potrebu za pojedinačnim prijavama. Unatoč ovom opuštanju, mnogi vlasnici puba, uključujući Tommy Higgs iz The Three Horseshoes, navode probleme s osobljem i razmatranjem susjedstva kao razloge za rano zatvaranje. Veliki lanci poput Wetherspoons i Greene King planiraju odabrati lokacije, dok British Beer and Pub Association bilježi pad broja puba diljem zemlje.

Greggs, a British bakery chain, has temporarily removed its Mexican chicken sandwich range from stores in England ahead of England's upcoming World Cup match against Mexico.

The UK police have criticized the government's last-minute decision to allow pubs to remain open until 05:00 BST on Monday for England's World Cup match against Mexico.

In response to public demand and political pressure, the UK government has made a last-minute decision to allow pubs in England and Wales to remain open until 5am on Monday, following England's crucial World Cup match against Mexico starting at 1am UK time. Initially, ministers resisted relaxing licensing laws, citing concerns about strain on police resources, but Prime Minister Keir Starmer ultimately approved the change, calling it a 'popular u-turn'. The Home Office will implement an emergency legal adjustment to permit extended opening hours, though some worry about the logistical challenges of enforcing this change in such a short timeframe. The decision comes amid criticism of the Home Office for being overly bureaucratic, with opposition figures urging swift action to support fans and pubs.
