My friends son turned 18 recently. These two “men” attacked him without provocation yesterday afternoon at Liverpool St station. 2 lost teeth, broken collarbone, 8 stitches. Hope the #COYS family coming back from the game share this and get them what they deserve. www.btp.police.uk/news/btp/new...

I think we should invent a new game called ‘Soccer’. Only the Americans are allowed to play it. They can have a Worlds Series of Soccer that they can win every year.They can fuck about with the rules all they want and have as many ad breaks as they like. We can carry on with normal football as usual

Is this translated from the original German? www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...
Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller made clear there must be no retreat: “One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is its completely pre-textual and disingenuous appeal to civil liberties in an effort to shield its own violence… When the leftist — who does not believe in freedom, who does not believe in civil rights, who does not believe in any ordinary notion of justice — protests that we are violating his rights, understand the he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization.”

So, how does the #BBC website work when it comes to comments? Story on Burnham is open to comments, and there are thousands, often vitriolic. Story on Farage... and nope, no opportunity to say a word about the grifter grinch. How does this work #ChrisMason ?
