Football kit of the day. Inter Milan mid 90s and the imposing figure (and eye brows)of Giuseppe Bergomi.

Brighton.

Few right wing American nutters creeping in on here.

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

Football kit of the day. France 1984 European champions. I had a version of this shirt, now sadly lost.

Paul Doyle who injured more than 100 people in Liverpool has pleaded Guilty to 9 charges of Causing Grievous Bodily Harm and 17 charges of Attempting to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm. He is a MAGA and Andrew Tate supporter. Why do we never hear about the dangers of the Far Right?

Great reporting and unfortunately terrifying. youtu.be/4H5B7OMw9lY?...

Just seen all quiet on the western front (the 2022 film version). It's as superb as it's cracked up to be. Horrifying battle scenes and very moving personal stories. The headquarters and use of the story of the armistice is a clever idea as well. Highly recommended.

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to: Paid holidays Sick pay Safer working conditions Human Rights Workers Rights Unions NHS & healthcare Social care Minimum wage Among many other things. Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

Football shirt of the day. On St Andrews day. A Celtic goalkeeper jersey from the late 1920s in honour of John Thomson who was tragically killed in the Old firm game in 1931. The reason my family had a big stigma about playing in goal as my grandfather was from Fife.

Bring back British Rail www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Agree - Mail Sun Telegraph never stop slagging off Labour in a way they never did to Johnson , Truss - etc

Happy St Andrew’s Day to Scots, wherever you are in the world!

Absolutely shameful this performance. Tim letting himself get turned for that 3rd goal.

Pathetic defending from Everton there.

Come on Everton. Just need a goal here.

Withdean stadium for AFC Varndeanians against Haywards heath. Hard to imagine Brighton ever played here.

I'm disappointed by this. Why mess with the clubs traditional colours? This looks like a crap football kit and I certainly wouldn't buy it. www.loverugbyleague.com/post/london-...

Israeli soldiers murdered an entire family of 5 in Syria this morning. 8 others were killed. Al Jazeera correspondent on how Israel is explaining the killings ⬇️ Video: Saul Staniforth via X (@SaulStaniforth)

Football kit of the day. Pre war Stoke city worn by Frank Soo. He was the first player of Chinese descent to play in the football league and even represented England in a wartime international. A fascinating trailblazer who later became a manager, mainly in Scandinavia.

St Paula church yard. One of the things I miss about London is being able to pop into the square mile. History from Roman times and layer on layer of it since.

Your Black Friday reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

Love this every time I pass it at Blackfriars. Berlin and Buckley, Boulogne and Broadstairs 😄

Interested to hear what people think? Can you properly support multiple teams? ghostoftomjoad.substack.com/p/half-and-h...

Just to understand the concept of a trillion. 1 million minutes ago it was October 21, 2023. A billion minutes ago it was 114 CE. A trillion minutes ago it was 1,900,114 BCE

Football kit of the day. Borussia Monchengladbach 1970s. Modelled by Netzer.

This should be the headline on all news channels but it’s buried low in the live feed on BBC with of course negativity from Mason leading the misdirection! Please RT to put it out there..

BREAKING: Keir Starmer insists to Beth Rigby that Labour kept to their manifesto promises and 'won't apologise for lifting children out of poverty'

Never forget who Nigel Farage is.

The attacks on Labour from BBC News are now so relentless, day after day, minute after minute, putting headline negativity on absolutely anything they say, or do. Are they now the official opposition?

Awww! Good to see they’ve made up.👍🏻💙

Football kit of the day. PSV Eindhoven 1988. Simple and effective. Classic Adidas. Can't think why I was thinking about them this morning?

Brexit was an obvious loser from its conception.

Beer for people who think workers don’t need a living wage or reasonable working conditions. Beer for people who like the idea of IP theft. Beer for people who think hipster aesthetics compensate for foul tasting can muck.

Loving Michael Palin in Venezuela. He's still such an engaging and lovely bloke.

Have to say really for the 1st time I've no interest in the Champions League. Too bloated, same old teams and too many games with little jeopardy.

The OBR says that the VAT charge on private schools has raised more money than expected because fewer pupils have gone into the state sector Never believe the Tories and their media.

🚨The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 55,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

Russia-backed, far-right Reform Uk Ltd: “It seems free speech only exists for people who agree with them.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Israel has continued to violate its ceasefire agreement with Hamas, launching attacks across Gaza that killed at least four Palestinians and wounded several others on Monday.

Football kit of the day. Ajax away 1989. A precursor to some of the mad 1990s kits.

No irony from the commentators on Prime talking about Barcelona's financial chicanery. And Chelsea?

Good morning! #UpTheToffees ✊🏻💙

Woah.

I'm finding recent BBC history documentaries really tiresome. Footage of actors and constant talking heads. Wearying to watch and clearly aimed at the North American market. What happened to a presenter/historian on site and explaining the story? Civilizations rise and fall the latest example.

Football kit of the day. This bold modern effort from FC Dieppois. (As featured in my recent article I hasten to add).

It's a fantastic weekend. Highly recommended. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...
