This is literally what I've been writing and podcasting about for years. I was planning to do an essay on this, but here's a 🧵. The main reason is psychology. Due to personal, family, and cultural histories, some people are inherently scared of the world.

Well, Adam Buxton did give Hammed the deckchair on House of Games, so... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Let's not sit back now chaps... #bhafc

I mouthed "oo" and pointed to the wooden seat a woman was about to sit down on in a waiting room at Clapham Junction station, because it had a little splash of water on it. She understood and did not sit down, raising her eyebrows in thanks.

Scramble! Yes! #bhafc

What's up with Minteh's boots? The ball is allergic to them. #bhafc

I absolutely think we can turn this around 😬 #BHAFC

I've just been assuming Newcastle will score in the last minute. #bhafc

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Gurgh... #bhafc

My five minute warning was fifteen minutes late. #alert

Blahwagheahhh... #bhafc

Righto lads. Do it. #bhafc

How to convince your friends, family and networks to support wealth taxes. A step-by-step guide

The UK government will be forced to raise taxes at the Budget in October – but taxes on who? Here are my predictions www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHdU...

Tempted to get a "Philistine Action" t-shirt printed. Action against "philistine" behaviour, such as that demonstrated by Yvette Cooper. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

It doesn't actually feel like it's over... The stress... #Lionesses

KELLY!!! #LIONESSES

I cannot take this... #Lionesses

Bring on the supersubs now I reckon. #Lionesses

O cuore mio! #Lionesses

Holy crap! #Lionesses

Oh yes!!! #Lionesses

Boy howdy! #Lionesses

I really like the absence of VAR 👍 #Lionesses #espeng

Cheers Gary. And picking Mitoma for goal of the season - class. #lineker #motd #bhafc

Agyemang! #Lionesses #bhafc

Well, this makes sense to me. #taxtherich #taxwealth youtube.com/watch?v=pUKa...

Sigh... #bhafc

Oh gawd #bhafc

Deeply depressing that we finally get rid of the Tories but they're replaced by a grotesque travesty of a Labour Party. Grotesque yet grimly banal and unimaginative. Doing all the wrong things for the wrong reasons. Horrific. Just when we needed hope and an attempt at renewal. Fuck 'em. #Labour

Can anyone point me to a well-informed and researched piece on why the Labour Party are behaving in the manner they are ? (Is Mandelson part of this - or should I say Petey as Jeffrey Epstein affectionately called him)

Pleased for Dan Burn 👍 #bhafc #nufc

Last minute winner from Welbeck? #bhafc

Come on Brighton! We've done this lot before 👍 #bhafc

Proper cup tie 👍 #bhafc #seagu-ulls

Forgot about fascists, war, climate change, and the washing up. Seagu-ulls! Seagu-ulls! #bhafc

I wish we'd voted in a Labour MP here in [checks] St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire instead of a tactical Lib Dem, just so I could write to them and ask what the effing hell they think they are doing and have they all sold their souls to Satan. #labour #reformlite #wtflabour

No offence (nor defence) but, fucking hell. #BHAFC

My confidence is starting to crumble, tbh. #BHAFC

I'm convinced we will win this 4-3 👍 #BHAFC

Fra-giles! #BHAFC

I've changed my mind, I no longer want to be a billionaire tech bro. I had no idea it would require licking a huge orange arse with everybody watching.

It's going to be disappointing if we ever lose at Old Trafford... In the meantime, Seagu-ulls!!! #bhafc

Yay! Solly! #bhafc
