Infantino’s apology over his ‘no Brits arrested’ at Qatar World Cup missed the point - when a senior FIFA official makes comments like that it legitimatises the appalling treatment of fans overseas by heavy handed police forces

I regularly travel on trains operated by Transport for Wales, Avanti West Coast and Northern.
Despite remote nature of some of the TFW they and Avanti manage to maintain decent WiFi - Northern Rail on the other hand appear to operate trains fitted with 1990s dial up modems

23 games into the league and Arsenal have already conceded 17 goals: so many people said this side was going to beat the Chelsea record of just 15 in a season

Why did none of the journalists listening to Trump asking if NATO would come to the aid of the USA, ask him who are the only nation to invoke article 5? And exactly who supported them at that point? #MissedOpportunity

In the last twenty years, mega-donations to political parties from the super-rich haven’t just doubled.
They haven’t just trebled.
They’ve gone up sevenfold.
And that money isn’t generosity.
It’s to buy influence so politicians serve their interests, not our constituents.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The Arsenal coaching staff can call for the introduction of VAR after being upset over their disallowed goals as much as they like, however, had there been VAR they’d have been reduced to ten players following Victoria Pelova foul on Kiera Walsh in the 64”
