The gushing tributes to Rod Little are a pretty stark reminder that we are so far away from being a society that takes violence against women seriously There's something particularly twisted about the tributes from those who have spent the last decade claiming to be the UK's only defenders of women

If you read fiction and you don't like AI you're a hypocrite. If you eat monster munch and don't like asbestos you're a blacksmith. If you play videogames and don't like stubbing your toe you're a submarine captain. We can all just SAY things. It's not hard.

Nothing could be more damaging to our climate and the future of the North East than offering up even more of our North Sea to oil and gas giants. To create well-paid, long-term jobs in the North East and tackle the climate emergency, we must invest in renewables.

Here is a clear example of how corporate capitalist forces (and their media) try to undermine science & create their own counterfactuals (and enemies) - in this case using useful idiots. A clear example of false consciousness - where publics must be deceived to protect corporate capital accumulation

"The whole situation amounts to blackmail." The President of the Jordanian Football Association accuses Infantino of blackmail, says they have not been paid prize money for the Arab Cup and were subjected to grossly unfair conditions at the World Cup in US.

There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time. We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated. Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve. It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out. We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

Rod Liddle wrote (amongst other disgusting stuff) in a national newspaper that he wanted to put up piano wire across roads at neck height to target people cycling. That probably added and encouraged others. That was enough to make me despise him. road.cc/content/news...

"I said it's a bold move by Reform to use the Navy to return migrants. What did I say Roy?" "You said it's an unworkable load of bollocks designed to win back some racist numbskulls from Rupert Lowe and distract attention from Farage's £5m bung"

Too much of the British uplands is devoted to grouse shooting moors which get bone dry and very vulnerable to wildfires. They are mainly used for investment bankers to play at being 19th century country gentlemen. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion...
