Maybe he should come back, after all. Can't see anyone else who can empower ppl as good as he can.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

The reality is, Britain economically benefits from immigration and illegal migration is too small to impact most. The communities that blame immigration for decline are actually suffering the effects of 15 yrs of Tory austerity, under-investment in public infrastructure and the reality of Brexit.

Shut down the youth clubs. Sell off the playing fields. Put up "no ball games" signs. Make public places hostile to teenagers. Then: "Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

This is what was missing behind 2020's closed doors. This is what's killed by different kick-off times. I wish you could bottle Saturday's shared experience. A crackle of goals elsewhere. A surge of optimism. A sense of opportunity knocking. So unnecessarily stressful. A pivotal day. #lufc

The agony and ecstasy of watching Leeds move to within touching distance of promotion
Daniel Farke's side are five points clear of third-placed Sheffield United but, as ever, they are not making life easy for themselves

John, the blind Leeds United fan from yesterday's story, didn't bring it up but it came to my attention that he and his wife (also blind) have had a no fault eviction notice. Fundraising has begun. It'd be amazing if Leeds fans went big on this #lufc
