#OtD 19 Jul 1984 the Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid strike began in Dublin, Ireland when Mary Manning was suspended for refusing to check out South African fruit. She and 11 others went on strike for three years until the govt banned SA goods stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9108...

I know the Clacton poll is a serious matter (🙄)but I am becoming increasingly concerned about the inaccurate use of the “dogs dinner” idiom. It means ‘dressed up fancy’ not ‘ a mess’. That’s a dog’s breakfast.

I’ve loved the Brazilian national anthem since hearing it tons as a football mad primary school kid during Mexico 70. It’s a total banger

This. Also, @crosscountryuk.bsky.social, maybe put more than five coaches on Manchester - Brum peak trains rather than apologise for overcrowding on every single trip

Referee Omar Artan being banned from entering a World Cup country is a stain on this tournament. Freedom of movement was the lowest bar and still it failed. Column. ⬇️ inews.co.uk/sport/omar-a...

Trump's World Cup has its first victim

Freedom of movement was a stipulation of hosting a World Cup – so what happened, Fifa?

Should have told you earlier... Freak Zone had Vaporwave from New York, minimalist folk from Wollongong, art pop from Donegal, Japanese chamber pop from Toronto., Yes, Can, Stanley Clarke and experimental alfresco sounds from forests of Sweden. It's really good, honest @bbcsounds.bsky.social

After a lovely day at @hayfestival.bsky.social, it was too hot to climb up to Malvern hills today so visited some groovy record shops instead (Carnival Malvern and Tom's Hay)
