What happened starting in 1980? Mass Privatisation. So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

The before and after photos. Christmas dinner was meat-tastic.

Let’s get on it…. Dinner was planned for 3 but is now at 1:30 - so adapt and overcome.

Merry Christmas to everyone. May your Christmas be peaceful, prosperous and ship shape.

Anglesey is just what we needed. Blowing away cobwebs.

41 years ago. Mum at my passing our parade.

Landed at Manchester at 1130, picked up a hire car and was in Wakey by 2, left Wakey at 5 and was on Anglesey but 7. Not too shabby. Fog wasn’t fun but seeing family made it worth it. Christmas has started.

Going back generations. Industry used to fuel the UK economy, workers exploited as industrial owners got rich. Then thrown on the scrap heap as the economy became service focused.

Happy Thursday. Always remember, someone else is having a tougher time than you... I ran out of Yorkshire tea bags today, so am on the wifes Lady Grey until next week.

I’ll give everyone a clue - it’s 0%. So many players ahead of him.

Daughter is 15 today. Scary. Where did time go and how do you cope??

Wow — White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles did not hold back in a Vanity Fair interview. She's out the door. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

It's been Tuesday for about 3 weeks now. Can we move on please....

For context the 'Middle England' referred to here is the 0.5% of households living in homes worth more than £2 million

Excited. Yorkshires greatest crime writer… and an ex colleague to boot!

Deserved to win - but happy with a point. We don't do well in London, Brentford are an establish prem club, their manager is a dick. #lufc

That’s really annoying. #lufc

Wasp enjoying the darts there… 😮

Woke up at 6 on a Saturday. So annoying. But - fell asleep again and woke at 0920. Now feel groggy as hell…. Winning or?

If the last 5 years of your social media history doesn't get ban you from Trump's USA, then we can't be friends 🙅‍♀️💁‍♀️

Boom.... Wordle 1,636 2/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

My 3 favourite things about the BBC right now. 1. BBC Nordic uses 24 hour clock. Why oh why oh why isn't that standard everywhere. 2. Being an hour ahead of the UK means I get to listen to the Shipping Forecast every day. 3. Radio 6. My constant companion and source of all things musically cool.

The two best keepers in the world on show tonight. And the best is losing.

It seems that two glasses each uses half a bottle of gin. Maybe we need smaller glasses?

I completed an ESTA application last week and they already ask for all social login details. It’s an optional question…. I opted wisely. US could ask foreign tourists for five-year social media history before entry www.bbc.com/news/article...

So it was wasteful to change fonts and the answer it to...... And don't get me started on how a font can or cannot impact diversity.

While both our main strikers are scoring - they are penalties and tap ins for the most part. They aren't setting up and scoring goals themselves, racing past defenders to slot home, hitting screamers from 20 yards. So we 100% need a top striker. And a 10.

I just realised. Summerville is going to score in the last game of the season to send us down isn’t he… #lufc

I’ll take a really boring 0-0 thank you.

Of course she is. 😂

Very happy with this.

5 points off 11th in early December. Cracking position….. in Farke we trust. Don’t we? 😂🙌 #lufc

Keeper has to do better on his near (very) post.

Leeds are going to win tonight. There is so much noise that ‘Leeds owners are going to act quickly’ that the Leeds thing to do is win.

On this day in 1984 I boarded a train in Wakefield Westgate, heading to Plymouth. The start of a journey that would change my life. 16 years old, never been on a train on my own, never been abroad, never looked back.

Colour me shocked… Putin will never back down. Over anything. Bullies never do. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

After last nights dream, I had to tell wife that Lily Allen had to go on the laminated list. Nothing happened, we were very proper, but the tension was palpable.

Wrapping presents is easily the worst part of Christmas. The only things sellotape actually sticks to are the 5 it accidentally touches on the way to the paper. This is a hill I will totally die on. And my well do very soon.

It’s finally legal. Tree up.

Do we listen to professionals who know the game? Or Barry from the chip shop?

Farke gets pelters for not changing things. Then changes things. And gets pelters for it. Can’t win when your face just doesn’t fit.

I read this morning that the 49'ers are in talks with Man City over a Kalvin return.... Another terrible rumour... If he was half the player he was under Bielsa he wouldn't come back. And if he isn't we don't want him back.

Really happy for Bamford. And really pissed off he isn’t in white.

Big day today. Danish citizenship exam at 1300. Wish me luck. It’s tough. And in Danish. 😂🤞

So fans want more subs. And earlier subs. But the facts show making subs costs us goals.... maybe Farke is a genius and knows more than we do....

The manager who is odds on to replace Farke is a huge risk. On the plus side he's young. On the negative side is everything else about him.

I get everyone wants to slate the keeper. But why didnt Joe jump? At all?

With the run of games coming up, where we're not expected to get any points - would it be the worst time to bring in a new manager? No bounce, fans on their back after just a few games against the biggest teams in the league...

We lost today to a team that is streets ahead of us in terms of cash, experience, player quality. This is what happens in this league. I would have loved 3 points. Or 1 point. But - we outplayed them for long periods. We competed. Lets not all shit the bed.....
