Replying to @5liveSport
@5liveSport @RobbieSavage8 Just want to put a thought out there about the world cup. According to various news sources (Guardian, Daily Mail, Times, Sky, BBC) there have been over 6500 migrant worker deaths over the last 10 years of construction for the world cup 1 of 2

(Stadiums, Airports, a whole new city, transport links, etc). There are 32 teams in the world cup, each team taking 26 squad members. That means for every footballer playing at the world cup, 7.8 migrant workers have died buidling the infrastructure. It just shocked me. 2 of 2
Really pleased that I got the new Adele album on tape. #adele #tape #retro

Got space to plant some lavender this year? It can look stunning, and pollinating insects - bumblebees, solitary bees, honey bees, hoverflies, butterflies, moths - will love it! 🐝 #gardening #wildlife #MakeADifference

We can’t even agree on how far to go. We say we’ll go the extra mile, we the EU say they’ll go the extra 1.60934km. #BrexitShambles #Brexit #boris #bbcqt
Word of the day is ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century): a presumptuous critic; one who gives opinions and advice on subjects they know nothing about.

This is undermining to democracy. Why would one state file lawsuits against other states about the laws they passed? It’s a bit crazy. apple.news/AaT5d5FImTUy7wej6…
Yet more concerning news about the inability for some people to accept a democratic result. Imagine if a group of people refused to accept the ‘will of the people’ in the UK! 😜 apple.news/AxI-pO6bySwupj3UY…

Wild how much things have shifted on Covid aid talks. In July, Republicans OK'd a $1.3 trillion plan that included direct $1,200 payments. Dems said it was too small. Today, Dems are pushing for a $900 billion plan and Republicans leadership is blocking it for being too big.

'Ditch high definition and new tech to fight climate change'. This is why people lose faith in the climate argument, it sounds petty and ridiculous. All the effort that people put in to fight climate change is wasted when petty reports like this come out. bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55…

'Ditch 4K video and new tech to fight climate change'

Scientists are urging people and firms to change the way they use technology to reduce emissions.

We started the @ObamaFoundation to help a new generation build a better tomorrow. And many of them already are, stepping up through the pandemic and protests to demand real change. On Giving Tuesday, I'm asking you to invest in them: Obama.org/donate
