In terms of attendance, the biggest sporting event today is the All Ireland hurling final between Galway & Limerick in front of 82,000+. If you're in the UK & you've never seen it before it's on BBC 2

Our thoughts are with the victims in this case, who have been incredibly brave to bring this forward, to give evidence and to face down their abuser in court. We wish them the very best in their recovery and with their future. Read the full statement here www.wrda.net/blog/stateme...
WRDA welcomes the conviction today of Jeffrey Donaldson on a number of sexual offences against two children, as we welcome the conviction of any person who has committed such offences. We thank the jury, the court, the PPS and the PSNI for their diligent work on this case.

Can't wait for the full EFL findings to be made public. Just sen this online "while it was also revealed that they had initially planned for intern involved in the Middlesbrough incident to go back and spy on them for a second day because they were unhappy with his footage from the first ."

Post BTL on an article in The Times. "The spy was named on twitter by an analyst of another Championship club who commented that he had ‘finally been caught’ within hours. It is also being suggested that a whistleblower within Southampton has confirmed that they have been ‘at it’ all season." #UTB

On the positive side, if Boro don’t go up this season, there’s some new grounds to visit. Sunil Bank, Lincoln, possibly Broadhall Way Stevenage, and the Tottenham Hotspur stadium

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP. And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.
