@HullCity terrible decision. Everybody seemed 100% behind everything the club was doing at the moment. A club to be proud of, a 'family'. Hope Rosenior goes onto greater things. Should've been with us.
Automatic renewal on payments for purchased apps or Insurances etc is immoral and unethical and should be made illegal. It's just as easy for to send an automated renewal reminder, but they'll miss a chance of legally robbing you.
Typical of today's 'profit over service' culture.

If 2 pedestrians bump into each other on a path, they can't apologise enough. Put them behind a wheel and they'll want to fight.
STUDY: Cars are rewiring our brains to ignore all the bad stuff about driving. “A new study reveals how unconscious bias leads us to neglect negative externalities of driving. You may call it ‘car brain,’ but this research team calls it motonormativity.” theverge.com/2023/1/31/23579…

We have 24 hour news programmes. Why does there have to be a time limit when questioning MPs, allowing them to ramble on wasting time, so they can get away with not giving answers?

If you support Israel in this genocide you need to take a long hard look at yourself.
Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

Great article in @BylineTimes by Matt Gallagher.
"the outdated system we live under gives way to rampant corruption, out of touch politicians and visionless policy, enabling an unequal economy plunging us towards climate disaster"

How on earth are western govts, not only allowing, but openly supporting Israel in this genocide? Barbaric.
I went to see my 8 year old granddaughter in a dance concert yesterday. Scores of beautiful children living their dreams. I thought of the thousands of Palestinian children killed by the IDF with the support of my govt. The world makes me weep.

Is this man the only sane politician we have?
Peace is hard, but peace is possible - and it is the only alternative to this tragic cycle of bloodshed and grief.
My piece for @tribunemagazine on why the war on Gaza must end, now.

Robin in 'Ghosts' must be one of the funniest characters on TV at the moment. #ghostsbbc

Is this a coincidence, or can only horses beginning with the letter 'J' enter the race? Never seen this before.

Recently subscribed to #bylinetimes and just received my first issue in time to read on a long train journey. Brilliantly refreshing to enjoy proper journalism.

Wonder how much Sunak has been bunged by the oil companies to grant these licences. Doubt they'll be rescinded with a change of govt. One final big underhand earner?
