I just can't imagine booing - even complaining about - your team the same calendar year they won a major title. If my team ever became league champions I'd spend the next 30 years like Scrooge when he has his epiphany, donates to charity, buys the big turkey etc.

If you want some good news this morning, I showed my three boys the PM doing the six/seven thing and now they have all stopped doing it.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
