Reading the independent report into Man City's financial "arrangements" now, stopping after every paragraph, saying "Jesus"..."JESUS!"..."Holy fuck!" and again. This is beyond anything anyone imagined. Also started to wonder whether criminal proceedings are in the picture now.

"The league said the commission had found City used schemes “to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900m during the affected period, to appear to comply with financial rules”. £900 million.

Fun fact: They have both technically played incarnations of Doctor Who. McGann, definitely. Grant was an animated one.

Maybe a bit early to discuss the process whatever the outcome may be here. But Man City investigation started in 2018. The club was charged more than 3 years ago. In that time, the team has continued unmolested, recruiting at incredible fees, winning at great frequency. The PL still can’t comment.

Sue, a retiree, was handing out rape alarms yesterday. She did not want to give her full name but did want to talk about  incidents of sexual violence involving migrants she said she had heard about directly and online. “None of the crime figures really are truly being broadcast. The police don’t let the data out. So consequently — this is the trouble, isn’t it? — nobody knows.”

She was fiddling with her phone trying to put on a song, the rap lament This is England by Danny Bones. This summer the song has become an anthem for rightwing protest groups.

When it was pointed out to her that Bones is not a real person but an AI creation by a group calling themselves the Node Project, she shrugged: “What’s real? What’s not?”
