If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

If Carlsberg did journalists. 👏
In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias
It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true
Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia
That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started

Considering #wba are a defensive injury away from bringing in the army, I'd say that was a strong backline performance.
A Sellotaped defence, with a pre-match drop-out adding to that: you'd have every right to expect defeat.
Credit to coaches/players for keeping the doors shut.

Excellent thread on one of those "poor farmers" affected by the inheritance tax thing....

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
