@adampowley.bsky.social Just read your piece on White Hart Lane and the Shelf in November's WSC. I remember well the Shelf's brilliant response to Danny Thomas' penalty in the 1984 UEFA Cup Final. I had just moved permanently to London that year and it's probably the best memory I have of the Lane.

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Drumcree/Gravaghy are irrevocably linked with sectarian violence; for much of the 1990s, the contentious parade was the site of serious rioting & disorder. You'd think the murder of the Quinn brothers would have been a Rubicon for "moderates"; no parade is worth a child's life, never mind three

On Sunday, July 12th 1998, Jason (aged 8), Mark (aged 9) and Richard Quinn (aged 10) were killed in their home in Ballmoney when it was petrol-bombed by Loyalists, rioting after the Drumcree parade was banned from travelling the Garvahy Road that year. 3 brutal sectarian murders.

On Andy Burnham's sudden bout of shyness. thecritic.co.uk/sanc...

The close of his statement was an appeal to our better natures. If we were going to ask Israelis and Palestinians to live side-by-side, he said, Britain also had to be a place where “people of all faiths and none have a right to live without prejudice or fear.” Listening to him was Andy Burnham, who has been strangely absent from our public debate for the last few days. In August, we couldn’t move for social media clips from the prime minister, standing on a ladder to discuss his first job, or sitting in a pub to rate bar snacks. But faced with masked thugs trying to shut down British ports over the weekend, Burnham seems to have lost the password for his phone. For a decade now, Britain has had a series of leaders apparently paralysed by the fear that if they say that racism is bad, they’ll be voted out. It would be nice to get one who had a slightly higher opinion of us.
