Channel 4 in the UK is going to air the brilliant ‘Say Nothing’. It was previously only available via paid streaming.

It’s about what’s euphemised (sic) as ‘The Troubles’ in the north of Ireland.

British people need to watch it.

The World Cup is only months away and FIFA is failing to ensure players fans, and immigrant communities here will be protected from increasingly authoritarian ICE activity.

FIFA must commit to enacting protections against racial profiling, arbitrary detention, and unlawful immigration enforcement.

Fifa risks becoming ‘a public relations tool of an increasingly authoritarian US government’, human rights organisations have warned

FIFA seriously needs to move the World Cup out of America. It is too dangerous to send players here.

After seeing FIFA give the pedophile trump a peace award, i think Canada should pull out of FIFA and everyone should boycott the games. What a joke they have become. Giving a peace prize to someone murdering innocent fishermen & calling then drug traffickers/funding the Palestine/Ukraine genocides

Countries need to pull out of playing any games in the U.S. until trump the Pedophile is locked up. The U.S. is one of the most dangerous country's for tourists to travel to and even for U.S. citizens. ICE aka U.S. Nazis, are a threat to everyone.

13 years and £80 million to tell us what we already knew - that the police were culpable, and that they will never face justice for their actions.

The cover up did its job exactly as intended.

The Mau Mau, Iraq, Savile, Hillsborough, Grenfell, Guilford 4 and Birmingham 6, Covid, Windrush, Bloody Sunday...an endless tale of elite impunity. British democracy and justice are a facade.

The law needs to address the issue of public office holders retiring with full pension, and often a lump sum , and escaping disciplinary proceedings when serious failings are uncovered.

Yes there is always the resort of court action if lawbreaking is also involved , but how often does that happen?

Add 'The Scottish Parliament' to this.

Nigel Farage doesn't want English Independence.
If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:

Paid holidays

Sick pay

Safer working conditions

Human Rights

Workers Rights

Unions

NHS & healthcare

Social care

Minimum wage

Among many other things.

Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

My heart goes out to the folk at Harbour Energy, who are to lose their jobs because Labour won’t listen.

If they’re in any doubt about the destruction their Windfall Tax is causing then Sarwar & his colleagues should visit Aberdeen to hear first hand.

Just for absolute clarity, the government’s proscription of Palestine Action is a self-evident farce, deeply unethical and morally bankrupt. It is an unforgivable waste of time and resources, and makes them look both deeply unserious and as ideologically compromised as they clearly are.

It’s not that simple and only a simpleton believes that when there’s no wind there can be no power. Finland just built the world’s largest electric grid battery system and it uses only sand and steam and costs practically nothing. Educate yourself. Wind power can easily be stored for non-windy days.
A scalding hot 'sand battery' is now heating a small Finnish town
Engineers create a sand battery that they say will slash the carbon emissions in Pornainen, Finland, by 70% — it uses renewables to heat the sand to almost 850 degrees Fahrenheit.
