To be clear - the biggest threat to the Middle East is (and has been) US imperialism - operating through two channels of control via Saudi Arabia and Israel. The US has been an integral part of every conflict in the Middle East since WW2. Furthermore - the US and the European powers turn a...

It is very hard to be an internationally 'recognised' independent country when you spend two thousand years being controlled by the Persians, the Macedonians, the Romans, the Caliphates, the Crusaders, the Ottomans and the British - and you are then torn apart in sectarian conflict.

It should be noted that the RFEF regional presidents called on Rubiales to resign, not because he assaulted Jenni Hermoso - but because Rubiales had 'seriously damaged the image of Spanish football'.

And it turned out to be completely counter-productive.

It is important to remember that this assault on Jenni Hermoso occurred after several years of ongoing disputes between the RFEF and the Spanish women's team - and Hermoso, Paredes and Putellas are the only three squad members who have been to the fore in all these disputes - including the...

Well - let's let Jenni Hermoso speak for herself - "After achieving one of the most desired successes of my sporting career and after a few days of reflection, I want to give my heartfelt thanks to my teammates, fans, followers, media and all of you who have made this dream come true; your work...

And I am sure you know how she was feeling - and the context of what happened within the culture that already existed within the RFEF towards those in the women's team - the 'brats' that they are.

Ipswich - Kieran McKenna is a cracking good coach Southampton - I want Bazunu and Smallbone playing in the PL (although they likely will be transferred to PL clubs if Southampton don't get promoted). Norwich - I want Omobamidele and Idah playing in the PL.

Let's be clear - Jenni Hermoso was assaulted by Luis Rubiales - and in my view it was a conscious act. Over decades Spanish women's team have been treated with abuse by the RFEF and the head coaches. Ignacio Quereda, the guy before Vilda, was a recist, sexist, homophobic abuser of women who...

Moyes is using the resources he has available to him - he knows that over the season the team will be in a battle. That said - WH showed a lot of discipline, and while lucky, Brighton could not break them down. RDZ needs to figure out why and fix it.

Credence Clearwater Revival's version of the Gladys Knight / Marvyn Gaye hit 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' is brilliant - much more raw and bluesy and John Fogarty's vocals give it more emotion.

Given the ideological offensive against socialism over the past 75 years - it is remarkable that support runs at 40%. Modern American capitalism was built on whipping up anti-socialist hysteria (in much the same way that they whipped up any-Muslim hysteria in the aftermath of the attacks on the...

Actually - the points you make would fit a Marxist analysis. I made a very general (and short) statement - I can give you a fuller Marxist analysis if needed. And you are incorrect in your assessment of the American population's support for capitalism. Like in Britain, there is significant...

It will be interesting to see where he ends up playing for Blackburn - Sammie Szmodics generally plays the same position as Moran.

Absolute BOLL*CKS

Blame the Tories (and the Blairites) - they are the ones underfunding the NHS. Since 2009 the NHS has had a cumulative underfunding of £322billion

So - the average salary in Germany is about €48K - and the basic health insurance deduction would be €3360 per annum - on top of that you play a further €720 for the nursing contribution - an extra €10 to fill a prescription, up to €280 for a stay in hospital (per family member), and I think it...

The Scandinavian 'model' pretty much went out the window with neo-liberalism - and the Nordic countries are not high tax economies and haven't been for some time

Is there not a further 3% 'nursing care contribution' as well, along with prescription co-payments, payments for hospital stays, payments for home help, payments for travel? And - if I am not mistaken there are also charges for vaccines, cancer screening under a certain age, IVF and...

Yes - the German model - excellent health service - and mandatory health insurance - please tell us how much it costs?
