A lot of NUFC, a bit of politics and a bit of an eco-warrior. Citizen of Newcastle upon Tyne.

If only there was some way of knowing why Nigel Farage is so against a new national centre to tackle disinformation and deepfakes from hostile states such as Russia

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Notable that the four biggest net sellers in the window so far are all English and, with the exception of one relegatee, have each spent time disrupting the 'elite' in recent seasons: Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, West Ham United and Newcastle United

Kevin Keegan - Believe!
Kevin Keegan is the most important figure in the modern history of Newcastle United. He transformed Newcastle United on and off the pitch but moreso in the minds of those who support it.

This is the clip that the WSL decided to use as a disgraceful slur against Newcastle United. This is the ONLY time she mentions this in the full interview. "Tanya Oxtoby Opens Up About Threats She Received As Head Coach at Newcastle Utd" This should be fixed and an apology issued immediately.

Their promises of more jobs, more trade, more power for Britain have proved a con, Michael Heseltine writes as the Brexit vote 10th anniversary approaches. Never have so few done so much damage to so many with so little ability to execute what they lied about. Their scandalously false prospectus has turned to dust and ashes. Naturally, they blame everyone but themselves.
They are the guilty men and should...

It couldn't be clearer. Vote Conservative: Get Farage
Quote from the spectator: 

Badenoch says the Tories could win and claims there is a ‘high chance’ she will become prime minister. But asked explicitly whether she would be prepared to put Farage into No. 10 if he fell short of a majority, she made it clear the answer is yes: ‘This country cannot have another left-wing government.'

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.
