Have now slowly re-read the ruling, and it is even more damning than at first reading. The ruling pretty much sets out Manchester City was fraudulent on a systemic long-term basis. Not just mere non-compliance, but ‘concealments’ and ‘disguises’. Also some MCFC witnesses were ‘dishonest’.

We mustn't speculate of course and it is a serious matter, but I confess I do see an amusing side if instead of 'illegal Iranian immigrants who came on the boats', it proves to be a bunch of dim and dodgy White Van men. #c4news

A confession. I generally follow back, though not if it's obviously a spam account of any kind. Occasionally it means I start getting pictures of an attractive woman and if it's not porn of any kind and they don't DM, I confess I may forget to unfollow them immediately.

A Russian drone has hit a residential building in Kyiv, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring at least seven residents. At least one person was also killed in a series of massive strikes on the Odesa region.

Friend telling me about a genuine flat-earther. He travelled to Bolivia and then on to Philipines and then home, ie around the world. Ah, that's because the world is flat and round. He'd gone round a circle, not a sphere. And what's at the edge? Antarctica all the way round.

Many of the babies’ autopsy reports were clear: Vitamin K deficiency was the immediate cause of death, or contributed to it. The reports also included details about parents refusing the vitamin K shot, a long-standard injection, for their newborns. (Published May)
