Big Polluters Hijack Shipping Talks to Slow Decarbonisation Progress | DeSmog UK

“Saudi Arabia, Brazil and the US were among the worst offenders for blocking progress, even objecting to the concept of prioritising emissions reduction measures.”

desmog.co.uk/2019/05/21/pol…
2/ “The same three countries last year refused to sign up to the greenhouse gas deal agreed by the IMO, which targets a 50 percent cut in emissions from shipping by 2050, compared to 2008 levels. Chile, Peru and Argentina were also active in slowing down ambition, says Abassov.”
3/. They should name and shame the shipping lines according to size.

That way commercial pressure might be brought to bear.

In view of #DeniedMyVote in #EU19 this article demonstrating that the problem has been brewing for some time is a must read.

The system is creaking at the seams.

It has been long known that updating & maintaining an accurate register is the biggest issue theconversation.com/european-elect…
2/. There are may be problems in electoral administration in the UK, but impersonation fraud is not one of them.

Electoral Commission data show that, while there were 266 allegations of electoral fraud in the 2018 local elections, there had been only 1 conviction and 2 cautions
3/. – and none for impersonating another voter.

That from a register of c 21.5 million people.

The excellent @89up that has revealed other SM issues and Facebook manipulation ways that in the U.K. the BXP dominated SM, boosted by UKIP in the days & week’s coming up to EU19.

Research about the why & how still to come.

Watch this space.
It is well worth drilling down into this figures because

1. POSTS

REMAIN parties (LD/Green/ SNP/CHUK/ PC) dominate the POST pie chart on 57%

Versus 49% for LEAVE Parties (BXP/UKIP/LP/Cons/DUP)

(Yes. I’ve pointed out to @89up that combined that comes to 106%)
SHARES is a very different story with LEAVE dominating the pie chart on 78.4%.

Whilst REMAIN parties approximately halved their shares versus posts

The BXP x theirs by 400%
LP x by 33%
UKIP, Tories and DUP reduces their share v posts.

The BIG question is WHY and HOW.

...”And it'll keep on breaking them, until we admit what it is.

It is a beast. That's the honest truth of it. You can ignore it. You can write pieces about how we should all pretend the beast is not in the room and come back together as a country.” politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/05/…
2/
“You can urge people to look at how the beast has attractive ears, if you look at them in the right light, and try not to notice the claws or the great big slavering canines.”
3/.
“You can stubbornly insist that people voted for the beast and refuse to pay attention to how it is ominously peering down at you. It doesn't matter. The beast remains a beast and eventually it'll eat you alive.”

was 13 years old when my family forced me to get married to a man who is 15 years older than me. I still remember that day when I returned from school wearing my school uniform and in our house was this strange man. However, my family told me that this man will be my husband,
and within a month I was forced to marry him, even I did not know the meaning of Marriage!
To increase my misery, I discovered that this man I married was a drug addicted. He began to sexually abuse me from the first night. Every day he used to beat me, tied me up,
and sexually assaulted me in a sadistic way. He constantly dealt with me in the same savagery way.

@EricHolder has asked an important question:

#When was #America #ever #great?

I realize that there is a nearly unavoidable tendency to snort and spew one's coffee when they hear or read his question for the first time. But, honestly, isn't it worth the exercise to answer it?
So, @EricHolder, I'm going to do just that, and I'm going to ask my ragtag bag of followers and detractors to contribute as well.

I'm going to offer my evidence of moments of American greatness. And I'm going to ask those that read this thread to do the same.
But wait!

There's more!

I'm going to ask my detractors and antagonists (are you seeing this @fedupaton) to contribute as well, and will welcome from them both moments of greatness and moments of shame.

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

#Saudi Arabia says #Canada's statement on the arrest of activists in the Kingdom is an unacceptable interference in its internal affairs, expels the Canadian ambassador and freezes all future trade. bbc.in/2vs6crl

Direct investment was already down in #Saudi Arabia after some of the recent disturbances; this spat with #Canada is unlikely to help. on.wsj.com/2OgITYl
