A lot of the lager sold here as Spanish, Italian, Belgian or Czech is brewed in Burton, Tadcaster, Manchester, South Wales, Lancashire or Northampton. It is often different: brewed to a lower strength to land under a UK duty threshold, sometimes to a changed recipe pretendpint.com

39 beers on British shelves carry foreign branding and are brewed here. Where each is really made, its strength, who owns it, and which beers are what they say.

Gianni Infantino has flooded the zone again. He wants to put all of the money-making bits of FIFA (ie the World Cup) into a new co & then sell 20% to investors. He thinks it will raise $10bn over next 4yrs. I think we can assume hydration breaks are staying. www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...

Manchester United fan, 76, feeling ‘helpless’ as family seat is given to VIPs
Son-in-law of former United player is among 1,100 fans forced to give up prime seats under cash-boosting plans A Manchester United fan said he feels “helpless and hopeless” after being evicted from the seat his family have held since just after the second world war to make way for £300-a-head VIPs. Tony Riley, whose father-in-law played for United under Sir Matt Busby, is among 1,100 supporters forced to move under cash-boosting plans overseen by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Continue reading...

The Jewish News, which I am proud to work for as Deputy Editor, has published an editorial on this week's Iftar prayers in Trafalgar Square www.jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the...
Excerpt from the article:

"The question here is not really one of whether such prayer is in fact an attempt to “dominate” – or the more obvious explanation, that during Ramadan one breaks ones’ fast by eating very briefly just before and then more properly after the evening Maghrib prayer (yes, like our own Maariv prayer). Rather it is about whether one has the right to publicly express their religious identity in this country. In this specific instance, an event to mark a key event in the Islamic calendar had been openly and legally booked for Trafalgar Square. Muslims present had every right to pray as a part of that."
