If the @bbc gives in to that moron and bully, my TV licence will be cancelled immediately. I won’t contribute a single penny - shouldn’t even recognise the jurisdiction of the court.

For what it’s worth, this is the text of the complaint I just made (edited slightly to avoid outing someone here) Thank you for 15 years of entertainment, and for making this stand

I was outraged to learn that Robin Ince has been forced to resign from Infinite Monkey Cage because of his support for Trans people.
I’ve been listening to Monkey Cage since 2011 and, frankly, Robin has always been the most important part - representing the average person, toning down the more irritating guests, and balancing out Brian’s arrogance.
It won’t be anywhere near as good without him… not that it matters, because as a supporter of the LGBT community, I will be boycotting in future.
To bow to the abhorrent wave of anti-trans sentiment being drummed up by the likes of Farage and Rowling is a disgrace to the history of the Corporation.

I don’t think I’ve bought a shirt in 30 years (excluding a couple of charity ones I paid for)… I just collect the race shirts and wear them till they fall apart! Worst part is the smell of my suitcase after a week away with work. Rinsing in the shower only does so much!

He either doesn’t know what he’s doing, or he DOES know what he’s doing and does it in purpose. I don’t know which would be worse!

And, for what very little it’s worth, I’ve uninstalled GoogleMaps over the use of “Gulf of America” in England. How thoroughly ludicrous - I feel for the majority of USians (to distinguish from all of the other Americas) who must be utterly embarrassed at the stupidity of their so-called leaders

My wife would agree, but it was bloody lovely 🤣

You COULD view this is a tribute to my Scottish friends, but really it’s just an excuse for haggis & whisky! Might struggle to eat it all…🤣 #BurnsNight

Some perfect birthday presents 🤣❤️

Agreed - if they have NUFC in their username, a photo of themselves in black and white, a photo of SJP or a player, or anything in their bio, then I’ll follow back. Even just shared some club stuff. Otherwise nope.

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Aye - that photo was in the middle of winter and it was 26°c 🤣

You win… but I’m claiming a close second!

Now do it again with “pubs that allow away supporters”… 🤣

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Doesn’t work like that - amortised over years with 5 “payments” of 10m in each accounting period. Doesn’t matter how far through the accounting period you are when you make the first payment, it’s not pro-ratad.

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Why *wouldn’t* he want to move away from the grime and smog to our clean air and countryside, to play for a team with a chance of winning something?!

110

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

Completely agree with you on that!

010

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

Yeah - that’s the one… “we demand a club that tries”, not “we demand a team that tries”

120

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

As somebody else pointed out - the sign was “…a *club* that tries”, not a “team” It could be argued that selling players like Miggy, so we can then bring in better players, IS the club trying?

120

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

And everybody thinks that because… you are!

If I could get odds on the series being finished by Brandon Sanderson from Martin’s notes… Sanderson will bang out a new book every 6 months and they’ll be great!

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

It’s a good question… no doubt Pope is a better shot-stopper, but I think Dubravka’s form is part of the reason we haven’t faced many shots (on target, Arsenal 👀😁). Up to Eddie and I’m actually OK either way. If we sold Vlachidimos for what we could get, it might look strange for PSR judgements…?

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Don’t think anybody disagrees - but it’s also nice to give the lad some support and make him feel wanted, especially if he’s been refused a move he’d decided to take. Part of our job as supporters to try and give the players some confidence!

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Also worth looking at what attendance a properly supported side manages to attract for a third-round match against a lower-league side…👀 #nufc #newbro

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Best away fans this season by far - done yourselves proud #nufc #bromley #newbro

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Yeah - it does seem like an exception. Nobody (even the guys in their 50s and 60s) could tell me WHY they use the brand name for that - other than maybe because it’s quicker and they use it a lot!

010

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Yeah - I work with doctors and nurses a lot, and spent a fair bit of time working in hospitals before Covid, so I might have more exposure than most… but I once asked why they “all call it that” so it was enough for me to notice 🤷‍♂️

110

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Several clinicians I know call it “brufen” which is actually a specific brand of ibuprofen that I think is (or probably used to be) one they commonly dispensed in hospitals. I guess people are badly copying their doctor’s pronunciation?

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Guess probably not next-day though? 😁

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Being pedantic, it wasn’t actually his formal rank - it was more a nickname (which, at one point, he mentioned he didn’t like) *possibly* given to him by Kira, though that’s not completely certain. DS9 is the best 😁

120

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Yeah - it’s good. My old shirt got packed away somewhere after my youngest daughter grew out of them(!) so I can’t compare, but the badges seem identical. The shirt material is slightly thinner than I remember but still has that slight woven texture. Very happy!

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Ordered Wednesday and delivered today 😍 - nice to actually have a professional and competent mail-order service! #nufc

Spurs/Liverpool v Newcastle (hopefully Spurs!)

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

I was pretty comfortable! By 60 mins I was certain they weren’t going to score! Contrast with ManU where I was still nervous at 87’ the jammy twats would get something 🤣

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Right. Home from work, pizza ordered, beer open - time for the full match replay 🤣🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 #nufc #arsnew

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

And a video, since it seems I can’t have them in the same post as photos on Bluesky #nufc #arsnew

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

A very entertaining evening, and the first time I’ve seen us win at the Emirates. Thanks Arsenal (ps if you tried staying on your feet you might have more luck! 🤿) #nufc #arsnew

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Yeah - we said that: they were taking ages, and we were just waiting for Dubravka to get a yellow when he wasn’t taking as long!

010

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

There was one where they took a free kick about 20 yards from the alleged offence and the ref made them take it again, but let them take it again from the exact same wrong place 🤦‍♂️

010

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

It’s possible I was just a bit annoyed at a blatant dive when I tried to post this 🤣

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Honestly, Arsenal are fucking cheating cunts #nufc #arsnew

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

The number of times arsenal players have gone to ground without any contact is ridiculous. And we get nowt. Same old Arsenal, always cheating. #nufc #arsnew

I’m on the table to the right in the picture - heaving outside but got served no bother!

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Lee Bowyer and Joey Barton - both at the time Owen probably not until after he’d left and everything came out.

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Probably worth noting that - currently - it actually seems quite nice. Doubtless it will be rotten again later but 🤷‍♀️

Steve Mallam @stevemallam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

For all of you travelling down today, be aware the weather is shite and it’s been snowing all morning (at least, just to the west of London where I am today) so allow plenty of extra time if you can. Definitely big coat weather, even for me! #nufc #arsnew
