Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 07/10/2026'the Joseph Rowntree Foundation said Britain faces a “dire” outlook unless the government takes “bold policy action”. Maybe they're planning exactly that? From what I've read, that's what they're aiming for. Decoupliing gas from electricity, for starters. 230

Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That was always dodgy... I remember the days they had banners praising Shinawatra... and when 'we're not really here' was an accurate reflection of their attendance. 011
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Was out on the mountain bike this aft and encountered a naked rambler. Just boots, rucksack and nutsack. 120

Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Stayed in the Hotel Schlicker in Munich in April. Tegernseer Brauhaus right next door, then Paulaner, Hacker Pschorr and Schneider Weisse all on the same street. I could happily live there. 🍻 110

Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Didn't get to the replay. But yeah, I loved being among it. I'm soft as shite and have the scars to prove it (Lancashire Regiment ambush outside the kebab shop). 010
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Only went to one. Goodison '85. The most violent day I've ever been among. My dad got us tickets from his work. We started off in their end, got attacked just before kick off. Got into the United end. Flares, golf balls etc. After was like the Battle of Hastings. But this time the right team won. 110
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yep. The greed of the Premier League encapsulated. The joy of the cup was that sense of jeopardy. And for the fans, cramming into a 15,000 ground etc on a crazy away was one of the best days of the season. 010
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yep. Semis at Wembley were the first demotion, and when they moved the cup final date before the league ended, that was the final nail in the coffin. Now 'straight to penalties, no replays'. Disgraceful. 210
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ha, prime example, was living in a dump of a student flat in Newcastle round that time, but we were all cheering for Cov. Houchen, diving header. You remember these things. 😉 100
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Not boring at all, the FA Cup Final was the pinnacle of the English football season, always the last match (unless an English team got to the European Cup Final). Everyone watched it, no matter who you actually supported, you always picked a side for the day. Going to the '85 final was magic for me. 120
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Remnants, I think. Still hear The Great Escape and Rule Britannia wafting across the pitch in between the deafening sound of the camera clicks of influences and Instagrammers. 100
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It was everything, back then, to just get to Wembley. Saw United there in three finals and three Charity Shields. FA killed it with the rebuild and holding semi finals there. Never been the same since. 110
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Tell me about it. United Road aka Wet Leg. Dirty old gits! 100
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I remember Charity Shield '85, heading to the bogs at half time, Simon Reeves would have turned back. 110
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As much as the 'old' Wembley was a rivers of piss, roof leaking, creaking relic, at least it was a football stadium. This place is just a conference centre with a pitch in the middle. Should've built something near Brum, with decent access, proper stands near the pitch etc. And banned the band. 390

Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Making sure the 'buy to rent' crowd are kept out; quite possibly Thatcher's most profound and damaging legacy. Every small property previously regarded as a 'starter home' in villages across the land is now pure Air BnB or Cottages for Rent. 121
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yep, anything other than targeting the rich, eh? Continuity Tory, in effect. That massive majority wasted. 120
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It was a proper face palm moment. Reeves was so lacking in imagination it was painful. A proper banker to her core. Glad she's gone. 010
Fac.63 🇨🇦 @fac63.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Compare and contrast with Starmer and Reeves' first few weeks, they really, really made a massive mistake with the WFA. And to save how much? Clueless doesn't cover it. 120
