Not even Slot would use Seasonal Affective Disorder as an excuse.

A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges. TAX BILLIONAIRES RUN THEM DOWN LOOT THEM IT WORKS

Can I please say: Martinelli might not be* the best LWF in the world, but I think he's in the top 10-15 and that's absofuckinglutely fine for us. *He isn't, that's the point

It’s almost like the capitalist ruling class are literally extracting surplus value from the workers. Gosh, how I wished more working class people were class conscious. 😭 Karl Marx referred to this as "surplus value" — the unpaid labour that workers create but never receive the full value for.

4-0 and who would've thought it.... Millionaire exodus is an empty threat

Declan Rice set piece delivery: discuss

Open play second goal FC ole ole

So why is it that every report refers to him as Prince Andrew? How about keep the title and arrest the child rapist.

Israel has already kidnapped at least three of the Palestinian hostages they released during the hostage exchange. If Hamas did that, Israel would immediately *checks notes* Oh, Israel is ALREADY bombing Gaza, shooting civilians, and restricting aid? During the ceasefire? Well. That's awkward.

True privilege is thinking “oh if I’m accused of sexual assault I can just change my job title and the fuss goes away”

Mental to think the Royal Family popped off Diana for cosying up with a Muslim yet Andrew is out there fucking kids and he just has to pretend he's not a Royal anymore.

No further questions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Privatisation is a failed experiment which takes all our money and pays it out to shareholders." Time to renationalise the lot, we can pay them, if we there is 'any money'.

British.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman." This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women." RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

Thank you! I didn't think I had much of an audience here for stuff outside of football and politics. Pretty sure some friends haven't even read it, and it's scary to share but hopefully can help educate people. 😬 faithinleaping.wordpress.com/2025/10/02/e...

It's OCD Awareness Week, so let me make you aware that OCD sucks. It's maybe the most misunderstood, joked about condition, but it isn't a joke. It's a lifelong, debilitating condition. I wrote a blog about all the ways it's affected my life the last 35yrs but not sure this is the place to share it.

Yesterday I had an emotional conversation on the phone with Arteja. She was trafficked into this country and terrible exploited by gangs before finding safety and community in Liverpool. Now she’s been detained and is set to be deported back into the hands of those who caused her so much trauma.

I support animal rights—do I look like a fucking alpaca?! I’m a woman, and Carole Malone does not speak for me.

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

We can all bitch and moan and call out the utterly contemptible policies suggested by the likes of Reform and the Conservatives, but if that same condemnation is not applied to Labour then it shows it is not about supporting migrants, it is about being party political. 2/

😂 About right - lol

Zack celebrating his roots & changing his name back the original is the exact opposite of the NF>BNP>UKIP>Brexit Party>Reform

A very very salient point.

Tips on making the point land: • only respond about brands you like + Visit Rwanda • Really love those brands, and hate VR • On how did you hear about Visit Rwanda, click other. Use the free text box to voice opposition to the deal being renewed.

On the how did you hear about Visit Rwanda if you click other it asks what that other was with a free text box. I put I heard about them through news controversy about it, and added my opposition to the deal being renewed. In case helpful to hear one such way to crowbar in.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Jordan’s rant is pure race-baiting confused disinformation. Truly shocking & shameful to hear a BBC employee go off like this on air. Thank you, Barry, for pushing back & standing up to the tedious angry bigotry that is being forced down our throats 👏👏👏👏

Don't let the lack of execution diminish the effort they went to to show the world how racist they are.

Salvador Dalí might've watched the Star Wars trilogy, the first two India Jones films & Back to the Future.

I wish this guy would just stop taking about football. Stick to politics mate

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

Athletic Club Bilbao hosted Palestinian refugees at San Mames Stadium in a moving tribute followed by a standing ovation.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

A tiny but exciting reminder that Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists have not been ‘arrested’ as the media and Israel insist. The flotilla was in international waters where Israel has no jurisdiction, nor have the activists committed any crimes in international law.

Hello BlueSky I keep smiling

So much in that win! • overcoming disappointment • coming back from 1-0 • loads of open play creativity • new player integration • Injured player reintegration Honestly, a point would've been a reasonable return. Last minute winner? Sign of champions

Thinking back to sending a heartfelt consolation message to a Man U mate saying how well they played, how much better they looked & how Mbeumo was going to great for them. What the fuck do I know 🤣

Thanks v much. I'm sick of it, as you can tell. It's the same with how they ref offside right now. It's like they can't comprehend how injuries happen when the ball's not legally in play - or to be more precise, they don't see how it's their problem.

It shouldn't be up to Billy Vigar's family to sue someone for clubs to finally do something about this. It shouldn't need someone to bloody die. The FA doing a review now is horses and barn doors territory, yet here we are.

This really is (not) great reading.

After the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill pleaded guilty to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money, worth reupping the FIVE QUESTIONS Nigel Farage is never asked about his fondness for Putin @bylinetimes.bsky.social

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

@adamcrafton.bsky.social Can I please ask a question in pure good faith regarding the post AFCvMCFC pod? After David mentioned narratives driven by ex-players, you say in defence Arsenal "basically got 4 CBs". Why do you say this? Love your writing by the way. Cheers

sartre knew about trolls.

Oh look what you get when electorates aren't made to fear the word "Socialist".
