Israeli forces illegally boarded ‘Handala’ in international waters, abducting 21 unarmed civilians.
Demand your government end its complicity in Israeli war crimes, ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members.

That was a fitting final stage of the Tour- hopefully that will be the first of many using that parcours-which makes it even more galling that it will probably be the last time I get to watch it on TV, as I refuse to subsidise soccer& TNT's frankly much more infantile coverage.

The power of knowing its their last hurrah adding a lot to ITV4 #TdF rest day show- 2 hardish hitting packages showing they are no longer beholden to Brailsford's blacklist- somehow I don't see Orla and Adam calling out INEOS lack of transparency over the years so clearly!

Trying to watch 11 minute @YouTube video- within first 4 minutes there were 4 separate ad breaks with 2 ads each, on 3 occasions the same ads including Currys. So sorry @currys -I had planned on shopping with you tomorrow, but will be looking elsewhere now on point of principle!!

BBC 4s theme tonight appears to be artists who played Sun City during Apartheid...

Yet this time next year one of those programmes will be gone while the other will continue its incessant wittering about the pundits fantasy cycling league that no one watching cares the slightest about...!

Gary Imlach on Tour coverage yeaterday: "Pogacar's surrogates wearing the jerseys he's too yellow to wear" a throwaway line that nevertheless highlights the quality gap between ITV 4 coverage and that on TNT...

Philipsen wins stage without endangering other riders shocker!

Matt Rendell on ITV commentary- "The riders are turning hard right.."-Well what do you expect with Quinn Simmons at the very front of the peloton?

Race Across The World would really benefit from the participants chucking away the self-help books and picking up Lonely Planet guide books instead- this series was dire.

So you have to read to the end and even then the article refuses to state it was the Israelis who opened fire .....BBC News - Shots fired at Irish peacekeepers in Lebannon - BBC News

@JezCox Just a pity that if you do get to call a GT, many folk won't get the chance to watch it...

One wonders what the Counter Terrorism Police made of this little nugget?

It is frustrating that, in the 15 years I've been on this site, many folk on the left who should know bettter refuse to learn that blueticks post shit takes to get engagement and get paid.Think, block and ignore-its hard not to rise to bait but stop giving RW grifters money!
