If this was the steel industry the government would be holding emergency meetings to work out a plan to plough billions into it they'd never get back. And the jobs would be lost anyway, but the steel company would make out like bandits.

This is an extraordinary, searing interview. In the context of the repulsive new Jackson biopic, it raises questions about why so many people just don’t want to know what he did. FWIW I saw Leaving Neverland before HBO pulled it, and I absolutely believe those kids.
In honor of Earth Day: a thread of environmental wins

Yeah thought this was pretty common knowledge?

Stuck into the icing!
This morning I’ve seen Olly Robbins’s appearance before the select committee described as ‘box office’, while a commentator flagged up another key political moment with the words ‘bring the popcorn’.
That’s one of our main problems right there.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
This is exactly how this street should be. It is not a street designed for motor vehicles, which are guests.
Already, people are demanding in these videos that the tech becomes more assertive against pedestrians and cyclists.
This is the beginning of a slippery slope for human-scale cities.
Yeah, so, it turns out lots of high profile political commentators have been taking money from a foreign fascist government for propaganda. Oh yeah, including people from the Spiked crowd, who were recruited as advisors by Tory governments. Yes, everyone had a pretty good idea that was happening.
Is that some AI picture because that boat would be spinning round in circles with that arrangement of oars?
The remains of the TV-AM building is on the other side of Kentish Town Road
No, these are next to the Sainsbury's and have always been flats
15 mins is the magic number - it's the frequency where people don't bother checking the timetable and can just turn up and wait. Means get higher usage numbers (although useful, direct routes needed too)
Over the years they made some good interesting stuff (especially salads and vegetarian or vegan) and it's always been discontinued or only available in very few branches
There was that Guardian (?) long read a few years ago about the packaged sandwich industry and it was a bit depressing to read that Pret's biggest seller was the cheese and pickle one, and that a significant number of people just bought the same one every day.
To be precise, they're all countries that tried to stop selling their oil in US dollars (also Venezuela). When countries try and use other currencies the US attacks
Yes, it's the big lithium battery. Thing is they often aren't technically "disposable" now - they have a basic USB charging circuit, to comply with the law and which I imagine no-one uses (so that's even more waste)
Same here, every ward in Waltham Forest (even the Tory ones) only has Labour, Green or independent candidates listed. And some only have Green, no Labour yet...
We could signal our intentions and start the talks? Also we could begin by asking to rejoin the Customs Union
Who is the clown featured in the BBC radio headlines this morning praising Trump for negotiating with Iran in only two weeks when "it took the Obama administration two years"?
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
COP has been totally captured by the fossil fuel lobby, but a genuine alternative may be emerging, just in the nick of time.

The thing about Trump openly confessing to committing a war crime today is that a quarter century ago, Schumer Biden Kerry Hillary and Feinstein voted, in an *overwhelmingly* bipartisan way, to militarily invade the Hague were the US to ever be prosecuted by ICC.
The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment
In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.
Boycott the World Cup? Restrict American travel to your countries? Economic de-dollarization? Diplomatic isolation?
