Georgie Twigg: Britain has to capitalise on interest in hockey following London Olympics
Georgie Twigg admits Britain has to ‘capitalise’ on the interest in hockey created by her team’s bronze medal-winning display at the Olympics. The Surbiton midfielder, who played in the bronze medal play-off as Britain beat New Zealand 3-1 in London, has played her part in trying to create a legacy for the sport in the UK. While the men’s team finished a disappointing fourth, Kate Walsh’s women secured a medal in front of a raucous crowd at the Riverbank Arena, affectionately known as the ‘Smurf Turf’. Since then, the girls have been in demand, but Twigg says she has been pleasantly surprised at just how many people seem to be inspired by their performance at the Games. ‘After the Olympics, there was a big buzz around. Everyone was excited and individually and as a team we have got involved with promoting the sport,’ said the 22-year-old. ‘We also got invited to a lot of nice things, like BBC Sports Personality of the Year, but there was work to be done, going into … [Read more...] about Georgie Twigg: Britain has to capitalise on interest in hockey following London Olympics
America’s Forgotten Majority
IF one is to believe the bulk of news stories, the typical American voters these days are affluent white mothers ("soccer moms") and fathers, living in the suburbs and probably involved in the information economy ("wired workers"), whose interest in government reflects their relatively privileged position: "No big programs, please, because we don't really need them, but little, cheap ones are okay, provided they target one of our few remaining problems." • "Soccer moms.... were America's most wanted voters, and their every wish turned up on some politician's list of promises: child tax credits, education tax breaks, scholarships, V-chips, school uniforms, longer childbirth stays, time off for teacher conferences, even a breast cancer web site. Some called it pandering, others family friendliness" ( USA Today, November 6, 1996). • "Wired workers are the wave of the future, political analysts say. Political parties will learn to surf the new demographics, or go under. Wired … [Read more...] about America’s Forgotten Majority

Twenty years after 9/11, we still don’t know how to stop radicalisation
The day after Emad al-Swealmeen blew himself up with an improvised bomb in a Liverpool taxi, the Government apologised in court to a Muslim academic it had accused of hate speech. Dr Salman Butt, who runs a website called Islam21c, was branded an extremist in a Home Office press release issued in 2015 to accompany the creation of a new task force aimed at combating the spread of Islamist, anti-Western ideas in universities and colleges. Aidan Eardley, legal counsel for the Home Secretary, told the court: “The Government accepts that it was wholly false to allege that Dr Butt is an extremist hate preacher who legitimises terrorism and therefore someone from whose influence students should be protected. It is sorry for the harm caused to him.” However, what the Government does not accept, and neither can the rest of us, is that there is no such thing as extremist speech. After receiving his apology, Dr Butt said: “One of the clearest lessons of this case in particular is just how … [Read more...] about Twenty years after 9/11, we still don’t know how to stop radicalisation
