It's pretty good that the only thing that unites the left from social democrats to tankies to anarchists is a contempt for Trots and their weird cultlike parties that seem to exist mainly to cover up sexual assault by their higher ups.

I don't follow international football very much at all, but I was watching the Eurocup final and one of the US commentators said something about how the penalty kickers are chosen, "Not necessarily by how well they will take the shots, but how well they will bear the burden if they fail."

That nearly floored me, firstly because it rings of being untrue, but secondly because grace under pressure is supposed to be one of the defining characteristics of an athlete. If you don't have your best players taking the PKs, what the hell kind of coach are you? Very weird interpretation of reality, or else I don't understand how little the tournament matters that you would conceivably put up players that you thought could stand to have their feelings hurt instead of those that grant your country the best chance to win. I'll chalk it up to nonsensical commentator ramblings but I was taken aback by the very idea of it.

It's probably not the only consideration, but considering England's history of heroic penalty shootout humiliations (and the vile British press) it would almost certainly be part of choosing who you get spending time training penalties.

The equation is "who can take penalties good" + "who is willing to take a penalty" + "who can handle the intense pressure of the moment & all the poo poo that comes if you miss"

I would love just one interview with the ‘no lockdown’ Tories to see what their suggestion is for when outbreaks hit that inevitable point where they become unignorable. This is usually when the hospitals overflow. We can read between the lines and realise that their plan was for people to get thrown into the ‘nightingale’ units and die. But that doesn’t stop society realising something is wrong when they can’t get into a hospital anymore. As things stand the health service setup does not allow a realistic way of just ignoring the problem.

I think the disappointing result will be that none of them have actually thought long term about any of this and that shouting ‘no lockdown’ has just become instinctive.

https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jul/14/sian-berry-quits-as-green-party-leader-in-dispute-over-trans-rights

quote:

Sian Berry, is to quit as leader of the Greens, citing conflict within the party over transgender rights and claiming it had been a “failure of leadership” on her part that the party was sending “mixed messages”.

Berry, who was the party’s candidate for mayor, had been co-leader with Jonathan Bartley, who announced he was stepping down earlier this month. She said she had been agonising over whether to stand in the forthcoming leadership byelection but said she felt divisions in the party were too great.

A vocal supporter of trans equality, Berry had said one of the first things she would do as mayor would be to set up a commission on the rights of trans Londoners. In her resignation letter on Wednesday, Berry said there had been significant disagreement with colleagues elected to the party’s frontbench team. However, she did not give further details.

She said the party’s democratic structure meant decisions could be made that leaders did not agree with and she felt it was irreconcilable with her own position.

“There is now an inconsistency between the sincere promise to fight for trans rights and inclusion in my work and the message sent by the party’s choice of frontbench representatives,” she said.
