Today's buzz: Heathrow, Saudi nepotism rumours, and a confusing crying man

What's buzzing today in the social world? Good question... outcry over Heathrow's third runway, nepotism rumours are circulating in Saudi Arabia, Australians are getting angry over media "vultures", and the re-emergence of a picture of a crying baby and actor (above) but is it Bill Murray or Tom Hanks? People just can't seem to tell... can you?

First up... greens and villagers criticise third runway

Several campaign groups oppose the proposal to build a third runway at Heathrow Airport

Environmentalists on social media are unsurprisingly condemning the British government's decision to approve a third runway for Heathrow airport this Tuesday.

The Green Party has said it puts a "wrecking ball" through climate legislation and shows the government has no vision or strategy to tackle climate change.

Some are also highlighting Prime Minister Theresa May's u-turn on the subject, quoting earlier statements where she herself cited the environment as a reason not to have a third runway.

Though Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson previously declared he would lie down in front of bulldozers to stop the runway, few appeared comforted.

"Boris has also penned an alternative statement where is is [sic] prepared to drive bulldozer to aid construction," joked one user.

In villages that would be demolished, whole or in part, if the runway goes ahead, there was resolve to fight the decision.

"#Harmondsworth is a quaint village that I call home... it has memories, history and heritage. Try harder @BorisJohnson - it can't happen!" tweeted one resident.

Supporters of the idea are delighted though. Among them was talk show host Piers Morgan, who tweeted: "Excellent news re #Heathrow expansion. Can't believe all the whining. Do we want to be a 1st Class country or not? Absurd it took so long."

Angry Saudis demand answers over rumoured nepotism

Unemployment in Saudi Arabia is running at 11 percent, which may explain some of the anger over the rumours of nepotism

Saudi social media is buzzing with anger over unconfirmed rumours that the minister of civil service, Khalid al-Araj, is employing his son in the ministry and paying him 21,000 Saudi riyals ($5,600, £4580) a month.

The hashtag #Minister_of_service_appoints_his_son_for_21_thousand has been used more than 260,000 times in the last day and has got people talking about corruption and asking whether his son, who is only a high school graduate, should supposedly earn so much.

"You see a citizen who has a Masters degree sitting at home unemployed while this boy, because he is a minister's son, earns 21,000 SR despite just having a high school degree", said one user.

Some are even tweeting the ministry with pictures of his son's purported pay slip.

Neither the ministry nor minister have responded to our request for comment but we'll update this story when they do.

The rumour has also renewed discussion of what many feel were unfair remarks Al-Araj made about public sector employees a few days ago, when he claimed they were only productive for an hour a day.

The hashtag #One_hour_Khalid_al-Araj is also being tweeted in reference and one of the most popular images being shared is this cartoon, which shows the minister telling a degree-holding Saudi: "Why should I employ you, anyway? So you can be productive for one hour?" after which hands his son, clutching a high-school degree, the job.

Australians decry media "vultures"

The Australian theme park where the incident took place has shut for the day

News of an accident at Australia's Dreamworld theme park, in which four people died, has shocked Australians.

Many on social media are offering their sympathies to those affected, but early media reports which made mistakes and carried unconfirmed numbers of casualties also angered several people.

"Hey journos, reporting accurately is more important than reporting first. It's not your job to make a horrible incident worse," was one popular reaction.

"To all the media outlets reporting on #dreamworld, being CORRECT is more important than being FIRST. You're looking like a pack of vultures," was another.

Can you tell the difference between Bill Murray and Tom Hanks?

Some internet memes just never die! An image that has been around the internet since 2013 is being shared again and, with it, the question that always accompanies it: Is this Bill Murray or Tom Hanks?

Never mind that the woman who appears in the picture, Laura DiMichele-Ross, says it's Bill Murray.

We've done some deep investigations and think we've found the answer once and for all - see how here.
