UAE may halt UK investments after Manchester City guilty verdict. The 'rule of law', not blackmail must prevail. Over 100 individual breaches of the Premier League Rules. It filed misleading accounts at Companies House. There are questions about whether Manchester City circumvented UK taxes.

Worth a read if only for his comments on US arrogance and Man City cheating. "Everyone knew about it." "Haaland,£52m , yeah,sure". Of course we did. Bloody obvious. So why does it take a Portuguese hacker to offer evidence? Guilty as fuck! #City

A few voices - almost all former Brexiters - are now popping up to issue warnings. Oh you don't want that debate again, we'll fuck you up. But in fact the position of the reactionary right is as weak as its been for years and the position of progressives is shockingly robust. If not now, when?

1. It's not a war. Little actual fighting was involved, as evidenced by the low IDF casualties. 2. It's not 'mere' carpet bombing. Much of the destruction was by deliberate, hand-placed demolition charges. 3. It's also clearly population displacement, probably genocide. A court will decide.

And yet most of the world remains silent. Protestors against genocide and war crimes are assaulted and arrested. Benjamin Netanyahu is invited to speak at the UN so he can boast about killing Lebanese people with pager bombs. Accountability? Hah.

It is a genocide- pure and simple. The UN calls it as such and so do most of the world’s countries. It’s those under the twisted minds of the Israel govt incl many in Britain who take the Netanyahu view.

It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.
