Newcastle had to sell him to comply with FFP while he is currently signing for a football club who have been charged with 115 breaches of premier leagues financial rules. An independent panel was convened to hear these charges which was concluded in 2024. For reasons unknown to everyone we still don’t have a verdict on this. There is something deeply wrong about that
Lough Neagh is the largest lake in the British Isles. It supplies more than two-fifths of Northern Ireland's drinking water. And for three summers running it has been too poisonous to touch.
The whole lake turns a livid, paint-thick green, smothered under toxic blue-green algae. Bathing signs line all seventy-eight miles of shore. Dogs that drank at the edge fell sick. Europe's largest eel fishery, worked for centuries, was shut down. Scientists pulled the scum apart and found it teeming with hazardous bacteria, E. coli and salmonella among them, plus a toxin never before recorded on the island of Ireland. And they are still drawing drinking water out of it.
The lake is now classed hypereutrophic, the worst grade of nutrient pollution there is. The poison is phosphorus, which feeds algae like rocket fuel, and the official figures lay around 62% of it at the door of agriculture, with roughly another quarter from sewage.
None of this was a mystery. A field grazed at a sensible rate hands its nutrients back to the soil that fed it. Cram in far more animals and far more chemical fertiliser than the ground can absorb, and the surplus pours off into the rivers and down into the lough. Northern Ireland runs that phosphorus surplus year after year, because a government growth strategy told farmers to expand and keep expanding. Campaigners warned for decades exactly where it would end. They were met with shrugs.
So the largest lake in these islands was knowingly fed to death to chase agri-food output, and a warming climate and an invasive mussel finished what the slurry started.
The cruelty is the timeline. Stop every drop of pollution tomorrow, and the phosphorus already buried in the sediment will keep the blooms coming for up to forty years.
A lake ten thousand years in the making, wrecked in a single generation, and the people who run it are still pulling the tap water out of the green.
Hoy Lumumba se tapó la boca y simuló una pistola en la cabeza como protesta por el silencio internacional ante uno de los conflictos más activos del mundo, que ha dejado miles de desplazados en el este de RD Congo.
ESTO SÍ ES UN INFLUENCER DE VERDAD. 🇨🇩👏
Dad comes home pissed and blacks mum’s eye.
Mum’s on the Valium because she’s sick to death of his drinking and having no help round the house.
Nan is on his side and says your husband hitting you is normal.
The kids can’t wait to leave home.
Simpleton’s, Russian bots and traitors call the man on the right here the worst Prime Minister the UK has ever seen. Those very same sources that propped up the man on the left and have now conveniently forgotten what he did. I’m confident history will correct this lie, but we need something doing now. It should start with dealing with foreign influence on our political system, and launching Leveson Part 2; this can’t go on. #KeirStarmer
Wet bulb temperatures on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday could exceed >25°C widely.
This is the critical threshold for vulnerable populations (elderly, infants, or individuals with chronic illnesses). It is also the point where anyone performing moderate to heavy physical labor or outdoor sports faces an exceptionally high risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
It's going to be forty fucking three degrees in my town in the fucking 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 of France on Tuesday ! and if you don't believe we've fucked up the climate, you're a fucking idiot !
Excuse my French 🤡
This is fucking horrific. Pochin telling England to keep winning so blokes don't batter their wives, instead of telling abusers not to abuse.
Can't believed what I have just watched.
10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
