50m Kalvin Phillips and 100 Jack Grealish are still City players lol.
They replaced them with 60m Nico Gonzalez and 70m Marmoush (lets not talk about wages...)
And now they gonna replace them :)
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if the government has the power to freeze your personal financial accounts simply because you express a political opinion that they do not like, then you are neither free nor living in a democracy.
"Grassroots volunteer group to defend their town against rising settler violence" fundamentally describes the PLO, Hamas, PFLP, Hezbollah, and all anti-Zionist resistance factions.
When these guys get too effective, Israel will just bomb them and say they're terrorists.
This wasn't a normal loss. The numbers on the board show a majority of MEPs actually voted to reject Chat Control today. It failed anyway, because the EPP used a rarely-invoked procedural maneuver to force a second reading, which flips the threshold from "simple majority to block" to "361 absolute majority to block," meaning every absent or abstaining MEP effectively counts as a yes for reinstating the scanning regime.
Parliament had already rejected this exact measure twice this year, most recently by a wide 311-228 margin in March. Getting it revived required deliberately timing the vote for the last session before summer recess, when attendance is predictably lower, specifically to make the 361 threshold hard to reach even with majority opposition in the room.
It's about a procedural trick engineered to make the popular outcome structurally unreachable regardless of how people actually vote.
Redo the vote until you get the outcome you want.

The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
