‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

theguardian.com‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentreCompany ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. Continue reading...

A reminder that without Arsenal, loads of people within football media would be wanking off tramps for a cup of tea.

We are operating in a doped environment. We’re the only team to have kept pace with City over 5 years. The market has been distorted by their cheating. Either you buy a few forwards at the expense of holes in midfield/defence like Liverpool or you go our way. Without us, it’s a whitewash. Blame City

1.76 Acres@onepointsevensixacr.es

Arsenal’s burden, which is seemingly heavier than most other teams’, is that we have to win the *right* way. We either please them or our manager has to “defend” why we didn’t make them happy. This burden is assigned to us by the media - but also by a chunk of our own supporters. It is absurd.

At this time when football has been stolen by liars & cheats; the national game wrecked; it’s important to honour Ken Friar; his humour, his decency, his respectful manner but always with a mischievous twinkle. He knew for twenty years what Arsenal were faced with and he always did the right thing.
