Man City being guilty of 115 charges is serious business. 115 slaps on the wrist is gonna leave a bit of a bruise.

Were I the prime minister, right now the chief constable and police & crime commissioner for Kent would be in my office having a meeting strictly without tea or biscuits, and this evening I’d be doing a broadcast reassuring the nation that fascist mobs will not be tolerated on our streets.

That is entirely on Tuchel. The players gave everything, but that was a tactical catastrophe — wrong shape, wrong subs, wrong priorities. England dumped out by a team that kept playing football when England had stopped

Young people are high-kicking to vintage US soul tunes again, but this time London and Bristol are leading the charge. Is the scene losing its working-class heritage?

From Otis Redding to Booker T, Steve Cropper was a strong yet subtle force that shaped so many soul classics
The guitarist for Booker T & the MGs defined the sound of original R&B, co-creating soul anthems and proving himself one of the most influential musicians of the 60s

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

On this day in 1945 a brave Danish Dutch diplomat drove his car into a Japanese concentration camp and saved my grandmothers and thus my life. A thread. It is August 15th 1945, my grandmother and her daughter (2 years old) are prisoners in Japanese concentration camp Lampersari.

It’s not just the tariffs that are going to wreck the US economy. There will be product boycotts as well as a decline in tourism and conferences held in the US because people have other options and won’t risk this stuff. The US is internationally viewed as a dysfunctional country (as it is).

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations against other students.

Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official.

Our school has a ‘no dressing up for world book day’ approach which I more or less approve of. But one set of parents didn’t get a memo. So at Breakfast club this morning as I dropped the kids off there was one (1) 7 year old boy there in a full banana suit. Legend.
