This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

One Love?
News that team captains, at the Qatar Soccer World Cup, who wanted to wear a 'One Love' armband, have been forced by the threat of FIFA sanctions to abandon this move, confirms one thing. That's simply that FIFA's 'one true love' is cash, dollars, dosh, moolah or readies (https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2022/nov/21/world-cup-2022-armband-row-in-qatar-before-england-wales-and-us-enter-fray-live). FIFA knew about the 'culture' of Qatar before awarding them the competition. FIFA's own approved armband 'Football Unites the World' rings more than a bit hollow.
