Legacy game was a delightful and often really touching event, deeply glad it coincided with me being back on Teesside. Aitor and Leo walking out arm in arm like that got me genuinely choked up, what a club.

Thank you for this, @privateeyenews.bsky.social Farage needs ridiculing far more. It’s a form of scrutiny he can’t cope with and one he so richly - yes pun intended - deserves.

TV HIGHLIGHTS
72 Up
The award-winning documentary series continues, charting the progress of one posh little boy, Nigel, over the years.
The last time we saw him was over a week ago in 36
Up when he had been given £36 million out of the blue.
In the latest instalment Nigel is given another £36 million, making the total donation a jaw-dropping £72 million.
This is a life changing moment for the former prep school boy who was recorded in the first episode singing the Horst Wessel song and coming up with charming but embarrassing comments about admiring Hitler.
As the clock moves forward
to 72 Up, viewers now see a completely different Nigel from the one we have come to know so well over the years
- from Europe-hating MEP to Brexit-promoting campaigner to the triumphant bin-defeating statesman of today. It's been a roller-coaster ride for Nigel
- and indeed the viewer - and this remarkable series ends with a poignant and moving climax in a Clacton oyster bar, where the older but no wiser Nigel faces the prospect of being Prime Minister and/or going to jail after criminal proceedings.
EYE VERDICT: "Boring, boring, Boring! Nothing to see here
- put a sock in it, love."

(Insert photo of him slurping up oysters)

Remember Farage having a hissy fit because Sky News knocked on his door and asked if he was at home. He was outraged because his daughter answered the door and claims Sky were harassing his family. Fast forward to him laughing at a distraught Mother living in Piddlington who's worried for her sons.

Two v good letters (Times) about the heroism of the RNLI but one absolute honker about how we must leave the ECHR to stop asylum claims. So… collapse our human rights framework, trash our international credibility, deny our responsibilities… in yet another ruinously racist brexity fit. No thanks.

Sir, The refusal to accept two RNLI lifeboats at Southampton and Portsmouth with 120 immigrants on board ("Ports made own protests",
, Sep 9) has resulted,
wrongly and unfairly, in the charity being thrust into the political spotlight and debate.
Worse still, RNLI volunteers have been threatened and abused.
Whatever the arguments about immigrants landing on our shores and ports refusing to accept them, the RNLI has just one role and purpose.
For 200 years the volunteer crews when called on have set to sea to save human life. They have saved the lives of more than 140,000 people. We owe it to them to recognise this and salute rather than condemn their actions.
Ronald Neil
Former RNLI deputy chairman and trustee

Sir, When the Dunbar lifeboat launched on December 21, 1971 in a force 10 gale to help a young man who had been face down in the water for several minutes, its crew did not know and did not ask whether the person was black, white, Christian, Muslim or a refugee. He was simply a human being in trouble. In setting out to save me the RNLI honoured one of the most admirable philosophies in human history. The fact that their action granted me a wonderful life I would otherwise not have had is a minor point. The important point is that in dedicating itself to the saving of human life the crew members of the RNLI restored my faith in humanity. Greater love hath no person than to risk their life for someone they do not know. Greater hate hath no person than to accuse those who put their lives on the line for others of being traitors.

🏆 A couple of huge draws for the two Redcar clubs in the FA Cup second qualifying round. Redcar Town's reward for knocking out Bridlington and Blyth is a home tie vs Darlington! And Redcar Athletic face Macclesfield! Will be great occasions for two clubs on the rise.

On a freezing 1983 night shoot, Dolly Parton laid her shawl over a homeless man. She says Sylvester Stallone yanked it off, calling the man "scum." Parton grabbed it back: "That could have been you, you ungrateful son of a b*tch." The next day, he'd bought the man a blanket.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️
