Do like Humour Generally supportive A broader view that there's a wider world (doesn't have to be overt) Question and criticism of tactics is ok but best kept from the fans' pov Good diverse mix of gender, age, race, nationality etc

Don't like Anything over an hour. Three hours equals turn off. ITK & assorted clickbait Bad language (& I don't mean moderate swearing but do include poorly expressed opinions) Shouty and angry Personalised criticism of players and staff Anything that tries to be too tactical

Zack, I would humbly suggest that the #Green Party doesn't need a policy on Zionism. Adopting bad foreign policy on a deeply complex issue does not show you are ready for government, rather the opposite. I wish your party well for its core issue, but won't vote for any party with racist policies.

He was our MP before we moved. He regularly came in the bottom 5 of participation at Westminster and was totally uninterested in constituency work. We went to a hustings once and vacuous and ridiculous are the best that could be said of his performance.

September 28, 1963: "New Phil Silvers Show" debuts on CBS. It centers around a factory foreman who is always involved in get-rich-quick schemes.

As for McIvor I was first warned of him about 12 years ago by my daughter when he moved in to her 6th form and rapidly became the most unpopular person in the school. Ironically for someone so hating of foreigners the school is the Anglo European School

Surely just shutting Congress to suit the Republican party should be illegal? In the UK we had a similar rogue PM (Johnson) who had to re-open Parliament when he tried to close it without reason. From afar it is just baffling how low the USA is going to appease the whims of one man.

Couldn't help notice that Kushner managed to find time to attend the party paid for by a mystery Russian. Must have been difficult to tear himself away from high level peace making negotiations for Ukraine and the Middle East. The very definition of an honest broker.

Yesterday I was taken aback when a bloke in the gym was sorting through the stuff in his bag, and had a copy of a biography of Herman Goerring. I realise that there could be valid reasons, but in the current climate, it made me realise how much the temperature has risen.

Just catching up on Channel 4’s investigation into Reform’s finances - I am both shocked and supremely unsurprised that they effectively commissioned their own polling. I always suspected Reform might be inflating their own popularity to justify dominating media and to gaslight the population.

Just seen Braverman interviewed on the BBC. The stuttering speech and panic in her eyes belied the defence smokescreen she tried to put up. She could see her career disappearing in real time.

Add in a dose of RW media cyclical reinforcement through social media and you have a perfect storm. Get on the wrong side and the consequences will be bad/tragic; be on their side and you get boosted.

The story about Prof. Arday has shocked me, & the more that I read just increases my disgust. There appears to be reason to suspect that American RW money is buying influence in this country; and people lurking in academia & the media who now feel enabled to say out loud shockingly racist comments.

This sad story encapsulates the depressing state we've reached, where real people and their families are considered expendable for pushing a political viewpoint. He had a child, for goodness sake.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.
Map showing the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.Screengrab from Politico piece that explains, citing Reuters, that 48,300 of the 50,000 recent crossings have already been expelled or voluntarily returned to Morocco.BBC report on Friday, still echoing the RW disinformation - or at the very least not challengning it sufficiently.

Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

I'm never going to forgive these chancers. For them it was a game where they would personally win, whatever. For us, they glibly removed freedoms, made people poorer and ruined lives. They should be behind bars for their treachery.

None of these tax dodging, foreign-based crypto billionaires and moneymen give a single shit about our country or democracy. They’re buying Farage power so he’ll remove our rights and protections to maximise their profits. It really is that simple and that corrupt. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
