He clearly does that thing where he knows 50 years sounds like a long time ago, but fails to do the maths that 1976 Britain culturally wasn't that different from today. Of course, given he was only born 6 years later, its probably difficult for him to remember that accurately.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

You will hear though, and is sort of RW British humour; people will say Hitler turning in his grave with over small boats. The suggestion being we are being invaded & Hitler could never achieve it, but the small boats make it look easy. It both mocks Hitler & misses the point with the current crisis

I can ensure Curtis they are not saying this in my UK. Nazi gets thrown around alot, especially online, but people will get into a meltdown if you call them a Nazi, even the far right thugs, because they don't see it. Hitler still disgusts the majority of UK society. No one is comparing themselves.

Some Greens feel Polanski has shown a complete lack of leadership on the motion, saying he was happy to see an influx of new members but then did nothing to make sure they stuck with Green values. In fairness, the leader has few powers. But they do have influence - and Polanski has not exerted any.

I really hope we get to see one where he's delivering the Flamingos & starts up a little small talk. Then one day his tire is flat and she helps fix it. This time they agree to go for coffee. HMRC could have the new Bisto, new Nescafe 'will they won't they'

Such sad news that the legendary Dame Esther Rantzen has passed away. Campaigning right until the very end. It was an honour to interview her several times in her final years. Thoughts with her family, who loved her so dearly.

Middle aged & I remember her exceptional charity work, but there's where it ends for me. Can imagine for those who met her as it'll stay with them for life, but I cant understand the continued obsession nor belief other than a niche pool of people actually care longer than a 2 minute read.

Maybe they expected a greater level of public sympathy. Whereas most saw the danger to real lives, real people; Intended or unintend by their actions.

No charges have been made so not in the interest of the investigation to release names. Should lesser charges like attempted robbery be made later we'll probably be told the names at a national level still just because of the headlines its grabbed if it turms out nothing to do with threats etc.

Just seems these ones, probably just because of the arrests, get more focus. All too often you get people thinking they are being arrested for protesting about situation in Palestine rather than for the ridiculous nature of holding a sign about a banned group. And makes both causes messy for support

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I really wished these passionate people being arrested would put as much effort into protesting about the treatment of people in Gaza, than they do over a banned group at home. Just feels like the people suffering have become a secondary thought lately 😢

Sting with no real threat to force people out their homes 2 nights? US sharing intell at last minute putting lives at risk? Pure BS that will undermine the real efforts of our investigation (creating avoidable speculation like this) Only thing that's clear is Trump can never keep his mouth shut.

Local residents were evacuated from the nearby village last night / early hours after 3 suspicious vehicles were reported to police (white vans). 5 men arrested at the scene and remain in custody.

One thing that always worries me about these announcements is the use of young, rather than just first time buyers as a standard. Just gives that sense there will be that small generational gap already lost into the rent market.

Yeah, two good work mates are Arsenal supporters. Though for some reason they were unbearable this summer to work with.

I don't know what it is with Bluesky, but there's far too many Arsenal fans here - guess its cos they always had to have bluesky thinking 🤔 (that and arseblog binned off X for here) Agree though, huge positive you won it pre City punishment so its not tainted in any form

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Yes ish, I get it. But having your 1 or 2 guaranteed spots for promotion taken by a club heavily backed financially isn't exactly great for fans in those leagues. Great for TV fans. As a fan from the Championship its hard to take the size of clubs relegated from PL in recent years for that reason

We recently had 4 positions on the job market. Over 300 applications in 48 hrs. The recruitment team ran them through AI to find how many were 'built' by AI to narrow down our list. We hired 4 from the non AI CV applicants. 3 left after completing training. I'm not sure what lesson we've learned.

Link the points deduction to the goal difference for Spurs this season

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Can't get over how the writers from each outlet keep saying nearly all of their charges, when its 114 of 115. 99.13% in a North Korea election would be considered a tough race A 0.87% vote share in Eurovision would still put UK last Or saying £626,400 of the £72 mil to Reform UK was legit

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Actually maybe it should be linked to Spurs goal difference to make it fairer

As long as Spurs, LiVARpool and Arsenal don't get titles they didn't win I'm happy

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Long term though, did Scottish football really benefit? I'd argue not. Biggest thing that changed that FA was the rise of Gretna (their Wrexham without Disney+) What the PL has to consider is who's next, you already mentioned Castle, Chelsea, Forest could one day need similar actions.

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
As you're an Arsenal fan, can we agree the point deduction should be linked to how many points Spurs manage this season 😅

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I get it i really do. Firm believer this has to be the big reset and from here on punishments have to be sorted before a season starts. But I do disagree on the point some want to see a big successful club burned for it, not for fairness just because they casual tv fans of football not supporters

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I'm also a strong advocate that no honours or titles should be awarded to runner ups, thats just stupidity from anyone demanding that. Maybe you can remove an honour put please for the love of football dont say team a and team b won, we all know that is no honour for those clubs

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Can't repeat the Rangers scenario. It did nothing for the value of football and actually made it unfairly competitive for lower leagues until they got back. As an EFL supporter last thing I want see is a major club dominate and rip apart teams week on week.

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Not saying undeserved, but i reckon the outcome will still split many. Either not far enough or too harsh. Personally I think the punishment should be just enough to create European battle but spread over a number of seasons. Say -15 for x seasons rather than demoted or huge one hit
000
Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Its been a debacle & played out way too long, in part due to City's approach. Some of those charges were clear cut, & could have carried sanctions long ago. I do feel both cos of how long to resolve, & that mentality of taking a successful club down people want unreasonable consequences

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I would say its slightly harsh to say fans ans supporters lose their club, most likley since childhood when money comes along and buys them up. This isn't an MK Dons for instance. Out of interest what club you support?
101
Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Clearly there were supporters long before 2008 I get your point, but you're slightly missing City existed long before the money, & many of those supporters are very much alive (the point I was making). There will be many gutted what might happen next. Try not to lose sight of that if you can.

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I think the only fair way to determine any points deduction for City is to link their punishment with the success of Spurs this season. Whatever points Spurs get this season, would be the deduction to City next season

Most forget long before this, City were deeply rooted in that working class foundation of supporting your local team in the shadow of a highly successful United. Easily forgetting the pride and commitment of the fans that were Blue when being Blue was far from cool

Lucas S Diamond @monkeydoctor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Tbf probably a supporter long before the succes. Gotta remember city were the working class club of Manchester, so for some the future of their boyhood club will hit hard.
