While there's a great chance that this will go down as #Messi's World Cup, spare a thought for the wonderful #Modric who is also unlikely to be seen on the World Cup stage again...
RT @MiguelDelaney: Qatar's immoral World Cup may yet have an immortal story.

Messi’s very way of playing is testament to how there will always be a purity about football beyond money and politics, though, and it is why much of the world is willing him to finally do it

Aviation is responsible for 2.5% of Global #emissions + problem needs to be addressed. The Military Industrial Complex is responsible for over 6% of Global Emissions, but many people who say they care about the Environment are silent about the Military + are promoting the #War..?

And that's not to mention that #US Empire + Allies killed over a million 'Citizens' not soldiers, in #Iraq in the last 20 years. Do the lives of Iraqis not count..? Much like the Sovereignty of Mexico..?

No doubt the #EuropeanParliment @EP_President will condemn this brutal murder by the Apartheid State of #Israel this evening when the Parliament Plenary opens in Strasbourg. The #EU says it cares about Human Rights - The people of #Palestine are humans too...
RT @Lowkey0nline: A sniper from the Israeli military shot seven bullets into this teenage girl over twelve hours ago.

Still awaiting the passive voice headlines from English-language media.

An excellent piece by Poet Kevin Higgins, still admirably 'brutal with the truth' as he clings to Hope in Galway hospital -
"There is hope / But you're as afraid of it - almost - / and the lies it might tell you / as you are of its all consuming absence"...

Rail is the future. We need to think more long term and put greater investment into Rail...
RT @markduffymayo: The first early morning 05.05 passenger service has just departed Ballina train station.

Great to see this service introduced making it the earliest passenger train service in the country.

1966 was the first World Cup I followed, had no TV, listened to games on BBC Radio. Ever since I've listen to British media, often with a strong tint of arrogance, predict that England would win the World Cup. Surely a more humble approach would ease pressure on the players...
RT @MiguelDelaney: If you stand back, it was just a 50-50 game between top sides that England shaded in play and France shaded in end product

But if you stand back further, it's now 58 year…

Capitalism is based on Perpetual Growth + has done untold damage to the Planet - Economic Growth contributes to #BiodiversityLoss - We must stop unnecessary production + consumption in a way that increases our wellbeing. We can't fix the Climate Crisis with more Capitalism...

Repetition of the stream of baseless accusations about #China that originate in Washington does nothing for #EU standing on International stage - The Taiwan stuff is the most reckless #US provocation in living memory. Why don't we cooperate with China on #GlobalWarming instead..?
