  1. We have to be realistic and differentiate between the current custodians, people who administer Chelsea FC as just another asset that they can make personal profit from, and the previous custodian who made winning silverware and titles as the No 1 priority. Thats the reality and we need to accept it

  7. Tony Benn proposed five essential questions to ask those in power, aimed at promoting accountability and democracy: "What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you use it? To whom are you accountable? How do we get rid of you?" The Five Questions What power have you got? This question seeks to clarify the nature and extent of the power held by an individual or institution. It encourages transparency about the authority and influence one possesses. Where did you get it from? This question addresses the source of power, prompting individuals to reflect on how they acquired their authority—whether through democratic means, inheritance, or other methods. In whose interests do you use it? This question challenges the individual to consider the beneficiaries of their power. It emphasizes the importance of understanding whose needs and interests are being served by their actions. To whom are you accountable? This question focuses on accountability, asking individuals to identify who holds them responsible for their actions and decisions. It highlights the necessity of having mechanisms in place for oversight and responsibility. How do we get rid of you? This provocative question underscores the democratic principle that power should be transient and subject to change. It encourages citizens to think about their rights to challenge and remove those in power if they do not serve the public interest Tony Benn's questions are designed to foster a culture of accountability and transparency in governance. They serve as a tool for citizens to critically engage with those in power, ensuring that leaders remain answerable to the public. Benn believed that democracy is not just about voting but also about ongoing scrutiny and the ability to challenge authority.

  9. The open, cross-border pollination of an American extremist movement has not gone unnoticed by intelligence agencies. Composite: The Guardian/Getty Images Neo-fascist fight clubs, which are a global locus of neo-nazism, have caught the eye of western intelligence agencies that consider them a burgeoning national security threat, according to experts and government documents reviewed by the Guardian. “Active clubs”, pseudo mixed martial arts gangs preaching a strain of far-right activism inspired by the teachings of Adolf Hitler, are well known to be moving across borders. But the revelation that official security services are keeping watch over them, the same kind of agencies known to surveil proscribed terrorist organizations like the Islamic State, shows how active clubs are an evolving and quickly growing threat. “Intelligence agencies want to be aware of extremist networks that exist in their countries,” said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a terrorism analyst at the Counter Extremism Project, about active clubs, “their potential for current or future violence, and what links they may have to other movements and individuals, both domestically and internationally.” Already, there’s been evidence of that international coordination coming to light. Related: Revealed: how a Russian fight club expanded into the US with the help of American neo-Nazis In August, a Canadian active club, Nationalist-13, released a video of a national meetup inside Canada on the Telegram app. Typical of the low production propaganda common to active clubs, members are seen pumping weights and sparring in a flurry of cuts, featuring blurred faces and a synth beat. Then seven emblems of participating chapters appear: two are American active club chapters, from Illinois and Wisconsin, with a third being Patriot Front – an ultranationalist American hate group. “Canada needs all [white] men of good character,” said the Canadian active club group in its post. The open, cross-border pollination of an American extremist movement – born from the ashes of a criminal neo-Nazi gang central to the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville – has not gone unnoticed. In a classified January report released via freedom of information request to Canada’s spy agency, CSIS – itself a sharing member of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, counting the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the US – made note of the threat of active clubs’ increasing transnational collaboration and the potential for them to empower ties. “Some Canadians have sought to travel to the US in order to attend events (extremist affiliated or co-opted), likely seeking to forge stronger lies with like-minded individuals,” said the report. “Some Active Club members, for example, travel between both countries to network and train in martial arts as they strive to strengthen international partnerships.” The report conceded it “remains unclear” how many individuals in the movement traveled back and forth, but warned that “such travel by those who engage in extremist activities can allow them to reinforce links, share information and strengthen capabilities, all of which could ultimately lead to violence”. Using Telegram as leverage to their international links, Nationalist-13 and other active club chapters outside the US have also been promoting the legal defense of Thomas Sewell, an Australian neo-Nazi who once tried to personally recruit the Christchurch mass shooter into one of his past groups. Sewell was recently found guilty of intimidating a police officer, and his Australian neo-Nazi group maintains links to the network of international active clubs. Another Canadian intelligence report, from 2023, makes note of already monitoring the online postings of these same active clubs’ networks: “Neo-Nazi active clubs have endorsed calls on Telegram for violence targeting Jews and the US government.” Peter Smith, a Canada-based extremism researcher, said it doesn’t surprise him that Nationalist-13 and its growing partnerships are catching the attention of authorities. “It’s understandable that the intelligence community would be interested not only in extremists operating in their own back yard, but also in those orchestrating cross-border meetups with organizations and networks that openly espouse a neo-Nazi ideology,” Smith said. “These groups operate independently but see themselves as part of an international movement to ‘retake’ their countries and remove those who are not white.” Smith described how the sharing of tradecraft, “ideology, tactics and aesthetics” between active clubs that combine their social media followings and presence builds “a stronger transnational neo-Nazi movement than has [not] been seen in decades”. Recently, neo-Nazi organizations’ forging of global links typically coincided with their escalating threats to public safety. For example, the Base, an internationally proscribed neo-Nazi terrorist group, started with cells all over the US and eventually spread them across the western world into Canada, the UK, Europe and Oceania. After a years-long FBI counter-terrorism investigation, several members were arrested, including a Canadian cell leader who was illegally ferried into the US and is now currently serving a nine-year sentence in a US prison. “The neo-Nazi skinhead group the Hammerskins has had members in both the US and Canada, and more recently, the accelerationist groups the Atomwaffen Division and the Base have had members in both countries,” said Fisher-Birch, referring to two other groups that had transnational criminal networks. “Active club propaganda boasts that they are building a movement throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, so the more connections between the clubs, visits, joint events, etc, the more they can promote the message that they are building an international white supremacist movement.” Active clubs were first modeled to become globally embraced and designed in the mould of better organized, more publicly acceptable versions of European soccer hooligans and fascist counterculture – both valuing combat sports, nationalism and the violent machismo of the Third Reich. Their founder, Rob Rundo, is an infamous neo-Nazi and was a leader of the Rise Above Movement, a white supremacist street-fighting gang that was a player in the violence at the Charlottesville rally, with members charged for their participation. Chapters of active clubs are now everywhere from Australia to Europe and South America, with a Global Project Against Hate and Extremism report putting them in 27 countries, along with Hitler Youth-inspired youth wings. The news that American extremists are traveling north to help strengthen chapters inside of Canada also comes at a time when the Trump administration has accused the US’s northern ally of exporting terrorists stateside. That fact has not been lost on Canadian media: using the same tranche of intelligence briefings, Global News in Canada reported how more terrorists are traveling north than are headed south.

  12. Khan said, given Russian teams are banned from competing in international sport because of the attack on Ukraine, a similar rule should apply to Israeli teams because a UN commission has found that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.

  14. It was in May 2024 that the first links between Chelsea and Estevao Willian started to be reported. A deal to sign him the following summer was soon concluded, and since then Blues fans have waited patiently to see him unleashed. They cannot wait much longer. Supporters have been tracking the youngster ever since those first rumours, and the excitement has continued to build. Some really special moments - a first Brazil goal, scoring against Chelsea in the Club World Cup, some ridiculous displays in the Brazilian league - kept raising expectations further, but it felt like the last minute winner against Liverpool in the final game before the international break was the 18-year-old's real coming-out party. After the game, TV pundits around the world showered him with praise and he took his first major step from highly-rated talent to household name, at least in footballing circles. As talents go, you almost could not design one more suited to get supporters excited. A pure one-on-one dribbler who is not afraid to shoot and has the natural movement and instincts of a goalscorer, Estevao looks utterly fearless despite his age. The much repeated lines about needing to be patient with him and his development are made to look faintly ridiculous by just how confident and capable he is already. Manager Enzo Maresca is doing his best to protect the prodigy, but there is only so much he can do when Estevao continues to make such important impressions from the bench. For now, fans will be content to see him arrive as a game-breaking roll of the dice in the second halves of games. But if he keeps looking so much more dangerous than his rivals for minutes on the wing, it will only be a matter of time before the coach has little choice but to give him regular starts. CFC news
  15. Set to be rewarded with a new contract to ward off interest from Real Madrid. (AP)

  17. Dortmund are desperate to finalise a new contract with Schlotterbeck, however they are now planning for life without the talented 25-year-old amid significant interest from Liverpool. Disasi has emerged as a legitimate candidate to replace the Germany international, and he would become the third Chelsea player to join Dortmund in quick succession, following the recent moves of Carney Chukwuemeka (€20 million) and Aaron Anselmino (loan).
