I'm posting about books. I hope you're enjoying it. I do this sometimes, cos i'm a bookshop. I do it in the hope that people see the books and buy them. Or repost stuff, so that someone else sees it & buys a book. It's madness, I know. But it does work sometimes. (not yet today tho).

Trump administration is planning this. What could possibly go wrong ffs

On BBC Breakfast, you would have thought Reform had won the General Election. Also why is the BBC and MSM avoiding asking Farage where the £5M came from

Next book I am reading

Seems Chelsea have given up, and trying to target the FA Cup Final. This current team is truly awful, never seen such a dysfunctional team in the 58 years I have supported the club. There has to be big changes, starting with the Manager buying the players and selling. The owners need stay silent.

At the moment, there are only 2 defenders at Chelsea I would keep. James and Colwill, the rest need to go, along with the GK's. Players are sitting on high wages and 6 year contracts, and playing like they don't care. No passion for the club at all.

Chelsea are truly awful, How to throw away a CL spot in 6 matches, and European football. Poor from Gusto, do not tug the shirt in the box ffs. Get him off the pitch now.

Well done Chelsea, only 2 minutes and we are losing ffs

@davegorman.bsky.social You spoil us today, Guardian and the i Paper

So Trump is removing 5000 service personnel from Germany, all over a spat, he is seriously deranged. Get rid of all US military from Europe, and then they are screwed from launching illegal wars. Trump could potentially end the world by his tantrums of going nuclear

I thought for a while he'd peaked but Banksy still can cut to the quick. Marvelous concept and execution.

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

King Charles at State Dinner: “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

The people in this administration have to be the dumbest in the history of this country.

Tell me again that shit wasn’t staged.

They think we are all stupid. 🤬

Having supported Chelsea for 58 years, I can say that the best front 3 at Chelsea were Pat Nevin, Kerry Dixon and David Speedie.

So, it looks like the Chelsea players down tools for Rosenoir, clearly they didn't like him. That is bad, their behaviour has cost Chelsea CL football and probably European football, they should be fined heavily, and wages donated to local charities.

If it wasn't staged, then a very good reason for the King and Queen's visit should be cancelled, but it was staged, like the assassination attempt

As much as I loved Frank Lampard at Chelsea during his playing career, please do not re-appoint him as Manager. Get A Manager with experience from 1 of the 5 top leagues in Europe. Let Frank manage Coventry, he has got them playing well, let him continue at Coventry.

The Justice Department Sides With the Ku Klux Klan The administration’s vindictive targeting of the Southern Poverty Law Center is yet another mask-off moment.

So Rosenoir has been sacked by Chelsea, it was the wrong manager from the start, he will get a massive payoff, 5 and a half year contract, for 3 months work. Chelsea is run by shambolic owners. No point appointing a manager now for the few games left.

Rosenoir is blaming the players for the mess and its not his fault, you're the bloody manager. Yes the players seem to have downed tools, but your selections and tactics are awful. Also inept management from the owners and board. Its a complete shambles from top to bottom

Another loss, 5 consecutive in the league for Chelsea, and no goals scored either. Dock the wages of the players and give it to charity. This is the worst Chelsea team ever, and I saw the teams from the 1970's - 1980's. At least they played with passion, unlike this overpaid lot

Think Rosenoir picks the Chelsea squad by sticking a pin on the list of players. Clearly no training has been done on the system played in the 1st half. Clueless.

Another abysmal performance from Chelsea, can't see them scoring, and can't see them keeping a clean sheet for the rest of the season either. Wrong choice of Manager, kneejerk panic reaction in the appointment.

Just seen the line-up got Chelsea, going to be another loss, and no goals. Rosenoir really has no clue. And doesn't look good for the Semi-Final against Leeds either.

So, the commander of the US warship that told a Iranian cargo ship to move everyone from the engine war as they were going to attack it? What lethal threat was there? Its piracy at least if not a war crime. So have to navy broken their oath?

What suspicions? It is blatantly happening in the open. Huge market purchases and hour before Trump announces something and the markets react, making that purchase more valuable, its insider trading

Richard Stupid Tice would like to clarify that the £100k in tax he hasn't paid is different to the £92k tax he hasn't paid or the £600k tax he hasn't paid. Just in case anyone didn't appreciate the extent of his tax dodging. I mean fiscal prudence.

Champions League next season is gone for Chelsea, they are going to struggle to finish in a qualifying spot in the league for Europa or Conference, only chance is to win the FA Cup, but don't fancy our chances against Leeds in the Semi. Owners and Manager to blame.

Chelsea are abysmal, 4 league defeats in a row, and not a goal scored. Think the manager will be gone by 1st June, He was the wrong person for the job. Poor team selection and tactics.

395 minutes since Chelsea last scored a goal, not good enough. Players look like they have given up, and the manager is out of his depth, another costly decision made by inept. pisspoor owners.

Another reason we need new owners, Boehly is nothing more than a gangster, no interest in the club or the fans.

So Iran said the Straits of Houmuz is open while the ceasefire is on, Trump has said the Straits are closed unless Iran agrees to HIS peace deal. Someone remove this asshole now, World War III incoming. Trump is no friend to the world.

Trump called Epstein’s survivors “the victims, or whatever.” Two words. That is his eulogy for their suffering. He wants hearings buried. His name is in those files. Stay loud. Keep supporting survivors. We will get justice.

"Adam Mitula hasn’t disappeared quietly, he’s been put in charge as election agent for three Reform candidates in Tameside ahead of the 7 May elections. Suspended for racism and antisemitism… yet trusted to oversee campaigns." via Reform Are Not Your Friends

So what is the actual red line Trump has to cross before American politicians do something. Portraying himself as Jesus is big. No wonder the USA is in a mess and a laughing stock. So Commanders of American warships will eliminate any ship that tries to break the blockade, that's a war crime

Went to a pub quiz last night, joined a team and you could play a joker card for a round, double points, saw there was a round on mythology, we used it and got max points, books by Mary Beard, Stephen Fry helped greatly that I read in the past. We won the quiz

Awful performance from Chelsea, players and manager at fault, will be very lucky to finish in a European place. Still not convinced about Rosenoir.

Not taking chances in the 1st half, Chelsea are now losing. Do they not want European Football next season. Still trying to workout what Rosenoir is trying to do, to be honest he doesn't know himself.

Kushner being involved as he has deals with MBS is insane
