Doddery, grumpy, and pedantic old git from Herne Bay in Kent with a passion for England Test Cricket, addiction to West Ham, dislike of the Conservative Party and dismay at the indifference to the climate emergency. BML Block 154 ⚒️⚒️

Was social care mentioned? Was the NHS mentioned ? Was there any review of the cost of the triple lock or the Iron Dome or the 50000 new prison places ?

Well I was going to suggest that the team in 18th last year should be reinstated, given City’s points for this season and be given first option on free transfers for at least 5 of their players. But I will defer to your greater legal mind 😁⚒️

West Ham have been rubbish but no doubt Millwall are benefiting from Tierney as a ref. Scared witless to give any decisions against them

Pls spread word. Three digits can help protect you from scams: 159. If you're suspicious of a 'call from your bank', politely hang up and dial 159. It connects you to a switchboard that puts you through to your bank's real number. Watch the video for why its extra protection

Beaten by the first decent side we played against. Lucky in earlier rounds. Expectation is always too high. Semi Final was punching above our weight. Oh and Fernandez and Simeone are prize dickheads

Billy Bonds was my West Ham captain growing up and then the manager on my first forays into away travel. I shed a tear when I heard the news yesterday. A legend that can never be replaced. Rest in peace ⚒️

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Private Eye nailing it.
A story in Private Eye, headlined "Minority representation on TV causes outrage". The article reads: "There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.

Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."

She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."

"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television."

The only bit of Martin Samuel’s article that is accurate is “This is a stupid football club, making stupid decisions and it has done for too long” The stadium, occasional European game aside, is not fit for use. The club owners should apologise for their awful decisions and step down asap

The morning after….. Abject from West Ham Club is rotten on and off the pitch. Players stealing a living. Owners stealing a history and a culture . Selection was questionable at best and suicidal at worst Derby’s 12 point record is under serious threat Time to change SULLIVAN AND BRADY OUT #NOMOREBS
