Logic & reason no longer has a place in modern politics?

Judge Johnson who sentenced the Filton 4 to prison today is the same Judge who reduced Tommy Robinson's sentence for contempt of court

@PulaRJS @TrevorPTweets @bariweiss He'll fit in very well there, working for a propagandist cheering on the genocide of 2 million muslims.

@WokeratiMarty @DefendOurJuries @HudaAmmori We live in a joke of a democracy. Zero separation between judiciary and government. Excuse of a judge Johnson was undoubtedly just following govt orders.

[Prof-Hippo @statmanana]

@HancockAnalysis Yes please. And double his salary if he's prepared to go nuts if we win the derby like Ipswich's Nunez did after they beat Norwich

[Kendall Rowan @kendallrowanx]

Guys?????

@TheAthleticFC @will_jeanes Not the most entertaining first match red card either. Nothing like the brutally brilliant Cameroon defenders red for kicking the Argentinian into next week at WC90.

[Chris Elliott @celliott_83]

"And England have beaten Argentina 6-0 to win the World Cup for the first time in 60 years"

"Lee Dixon your thoughts"

"Well it wasn't great was it"

"Thanks Lee"

No way 😂

@Birdsallmorgan Stephen Warnock says hi. As does the 17 yr old Theo Walcott

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Must watch: Martin Lewis lets loose on politicians over 10yrs inaction over scam ads.

We're just never going to mention Nigel Farage and his role in this?

I don't know, maybe you could even write him a letter... 🤷🏽

🚨JUST IN: A camera fell onto the pitch during the Hungary vs. Kazakhstan match

[Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve]

The south of Lebanon is not a “war zone.” Dahiye is not a “Hezbollah stronghold.”

These are the places people live. The cafés and restaurants where friends meet. The shops people rely on. Homes, schools, businesses, neighbourhoods full of life.

But as we see here, much of the media describes them in military terms, erasing the people who live there. Calling entire communities “Hezbollah strongholds dehumanises civilians and turns vibrant neighbourhoods into acceptable targets in the public mind.

This language is not neutral. It helps manufacture consent for the bombing of civilian areas by presenting them as little more than extensions of a “militant” group, rather than places where hundreds of thousands of ordinary people live their lives.

When the people are excluded from the story, the bombings become easier to justify.

🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.

[Prof-Hippo @statmanana]

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC I'm surprised more managers don't burn out (not saying this has happened to McKenna). It's high pressure 24/7 and must be all consuming. Perhaps McKenna really didn't enjoy or didn't cope well fighting relegation last time in the Prem.

@AlisonMitchell Stokes was out breaking an unnecessary curfew after a match and 10 days before he next played. Whereas Brook was out late the night before an ODI he was captaining. Even the hapless ECB wouldn't replace the former with the latter in this instance.

[Stuart Meaker @SMeaker18]

Am I missing something?

In what world would celebrating a win after a test match require A - a midnight curfew with 10 days between the next Test and B - this media furore in calling his resignation.

They were celebrating a victory, someone started on them…time to move on

[Prof-Hippo @statmanana]

@nickwebb2017 Definitely. Although they couldn't replace the man breaking an unnecessary post-match curfew with the man flattened in a nightclub the night before captaining Eng in an ODI match.

[Prof-Hippo @statmanana]

@_PaulHayward Curfews aren't that daft the night before an ODI in NZ. They're beyond daft the night after winning a big Test match and 10 days before the next one though.
