'No pasarán': Spain laps up Clapton CFC's anti-fascist football kit
London non-league club’s shirt salutes International Brigades who fought in Spanish civil war

A London non-league football club’s away kit has become a surprise hit in Spain, because of the anti-fascist message embroidered into it. Clapton Community FC have taken more than 5,400 pre-orders for their shirts, after pictures of the kit gained media attention on the continent.

The club said they only expected to sell about 250 shirts this season.

Clapton CFC have only existed since February, when they were set up in response to a dispute between fans and owners of Clapton FC.

The Clapton Ultras – as their enthusiastic and political supporters had come to be known – boycotted home games at the club’s historic Old Spotted Dog Ground for the whole of the 2017-18 season, after the chief executive attempted to liquidate the charity running the club, who had been playing at the ground since 1888.

 :blink:

The Clapton CFC online store will open at 9am (GMT) on Monday 14th January 2019 and will take orders for 10,000 shirts from kids to 4XL. Sizes are tighter than usual, order one size above your normal size. Delivery could take 12 weeks - early orders will be delivered first. https://www.claptoncfc.co.uk/store/

How video doorbells could actually be spying on your home

Privacy concerns are mounting over internet-connected smart home devices after a video doorbell company owned by Amazon was found to have been quietly revealing “unfiltered, round-the-clock” user videos to a team of researchers in Ukraine.

Ring, a company that makes video doorbells and was bought by Amazon for $1bn last year, left databases of private user videos unencrypted while giving access to teams of contractor staff and engineers.

It is the latest privacy debacle to engulf companies offering smart home services, a key focus in this week's giant CES technology conference in Las Vegas.

Children are getting stabbed to death on our streets – we can do more to tackle these senseless tragedies
Jayden Moodie was a black child and, because of this, on social media and in the press, the words ‘gang-related’ have been scattered about with abandon – without evidence, and without giving his family a moment to grieve

About Jayden Moodie, the 14 y-o who was knocked off his(?) moped and killed. The article isn't much more than claptrap, some of the comments are interesting.
