Gianni Infantino has flooded the zone again. He wants to put all of the money-making bits of FIFA (ie the World Cup) into a new co & then sell 20% to investors. He thinks it will raise $10bn over next 4yrs. I think we can assume hydration breaks are staying. www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...

think what you will of the Amaury family, but the NYT's entirely negative portrait of their alleged greed & lucrative ownership of the Tour de France misses a crucial part of their business model while the Tour is the only cycling race around that generates 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
Is the Amaury Family, Owners of the Tour de France, Hurting Cycling?
The Amaurys of Paris own the race, but won’t share any of the $170 million in media revenue. Sponsors and riders say their resistance is dooming the sport.

Thames Water increased its bonus payouts to £4.1m for senior managers. It has £19.7bn debt, fleeces customers, dumps sewage in rivers, loses billions of litres of water to leaky pipes. Numerous criminal convictions, licence not revoked. But bosses rewarded .. for what? Govt/Ofwat do nothing.

Grim news out of Porto that Boavista has been ordered to cease activities after missed payments and hand over the keys to all its facilities by the end of the month. It looks like the end for the Chequered. Such a sad story. 🏁

This sums up the immigration debate neatly in a way you won't hear it spelled out in the British media. A media which seems to have given up on any commitment to educate many years ago.

One man’s alleged friend of “really bad people” is another man’s UEFA Super Cup referee. UEFA announces Somali Omar Artan will referee the game between PSG and Aston Villa after his World Cup dreams were crushed by US immigration officials.
Unlike , Leni Riefenstahl , Paltrow can’t pretend she’s apolitical & is unaware that Israel is carrying out a genocide. She’s chosen to advertise a luxury housing development in Herzliya Israel . All that time spent cultivating her consciousness has led to endorsing genocide . How very 2026 .

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously. The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together. Now is a time for real leadership.

Imagine being a Biomed student, doing a work placement in a lab, trying to achieve a career in healthcare and you find out that your house is on a hit list because your skin is a different colour. That's the reality of what's happening, and it's fucking disgusting.

Beautifully logical and compassionate. Love this!!
This is disgusting treatment of the Flotilla activists, the woman being abused at the start of the video is Irish woman Catriona Graham. Our government cannot continue to stand by as apartheid Israel kidnaps, assaults and incarcerates its citizens, it must impose sanctions now.
Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂
I got some records back from cleaning. This unfortunately has a large warp, it plays still, but not good for me to sell. Let's rehome it! If you want it comment, "oh, Sandy" and a random wheel thingy will find it a home later. Feel free to RePost 🌞

9th anniversary of the Grenfell fire is approaching. 72 people died, thousands more scarred. Main causes remain unaddressed. Lust for higher profits Unaccountable corporate power Performance related executive pay Failure of regulators Indifference of govts to the cry of the people Nothing changed.
Successive governments have failed to learn lessons of Grenfell Tragedy
The conditions that facilitated the tragedy remain unchecked
