Saudi Arabia’s national football team have been criticised for failing to observe a minute’s silence held before Thursday’s match against Australia in Adelaide. The Socceroos lined up in the centre of the pitch before the World Cup qualifier and held the brief silence as a tribute to the two Australians killed in the terrorist attack in London at the weekend. As they did so, the Saudi Arabia team continued jogging, passing the ball between each other and taking their positions on the field. Pictures from the match show a single Saudi player, Salman al-Faraj, appearing to stand facing the Australia team with his hands behind his back. Adam Peacock, a presenter with Fox Sports Australia, said on Twitter the Asian Football Confederation has approved the minute’s silence against the wishes of travelling Saudi officials. He said the Football Federation of Australia “tried to reason” with the Saudis but were unable to persuade them to participate in the tribute. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/08/saudi-arabia-footballers-ignore-minutes-silence-for-london-attack-victims?CMP=share_btn_tw

spectralent posted:I think the nicest thing about my grandma is that she goes "It's funny how we never heard about (trans people/abortions/racism/whatever)", instead of the usual "Now we've got all this (trans people/abortions/racism/whatever)" I hear from my grandparents and the over-55 segment of the pub. Like, she 100% gets that racism, homophobia, and women's rights must've been things that were concerns and wanted action but there was no interest from people in power of representing those interests when she was young so she just didn't hear about it, while my nan still thinks that gay people sprung fully formed from the ether in the 80s. I'm imagining homosexuals as a 70s-80s sci-fi thing now, arriving in clean white spaceships, filing out wearing silver jumpsuits and crystal-studded headbands while a theremin plays in the background.

I was wondering: short of a parliamentary vote going to poo poo for the Tories, could anything that happens outside of the House of Commons conceivably bring them down? Does their minority position now weaken them to bad press in general, or problems with their ministries? For example, could another acute NHS crisis (doctor/nurse strike, bringing in the Red Cross, etc.) compromise their position in government?

Seaside Loafer posted:Why the gently caress is John Major a "Sir" ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-40255958 John Major was OK. Anyone with the responsibility of running the British government is going to look awful after a while, doubly so if they are Tories. He was the least bad option immediately after Thatcher, and put the old school less horrible Tories like Ken Clarke and Heseltine into positions of authority while fending off the batshit right wing and fighting a guerilla war against the Tory Eurosceptics, led by Redwood, Portillo, Widdecombe and Michael Howard. Whenever he spoke to the public or was on question time or whatever he was unfailingly courteous and respectful to whoever he was talking to and he always used to try to give actual answers to the best of his ability. For all of this Major was absolutely monstered by both Murdoch's press and the left wing parts of the media establishment (which had got a lot of credibility at the time through opposing Thatcher, and broke hard pro-Blair; that period is where the idea the BBC is pro-Labour comes from). Despite the good agenda that the early Blair government pursued, a lot of the civil service colleagues of my parents (that overwhelmingly voted labour in 1997 btw) for a long time contrasted the personal decency and approachability of Major, Clarke and Heseltine - and IIRC Donald Dewar too - with the careerism and superficiality of Blair, Mandelson and most of New Labour. Portillo and Howard were widely loathed by everyone they worked with, Widdecombe was disliked but thought of as competent, Redwood was respected for being smart but regarded as a bit crazy when it came to Europe and Clarke was liked for buying beer and curries for the team when people worked late.

For example, could another acute NHS crisis (doctor/nurse strike, bringing in the Red Cross, etc.) compromise their position in government? drat near everything is a crisis at this stage, as the number of surprise marginals means that in spite of 3 line whips et al there's a chance that even the Home Secretary's going to be washing her hair when a controversial vote comes up. The only legislation that'll easily pass is boring busywork stuff, though the opposition/backbenches could gently caress with that too if they're feeling grumpy. The government will fall when the backbenches get sick of this poo poo and decide power is less fun than just squatting in their seats or taking a cushy consultancy job.
