@secondtierpod.bsky.social Is our Reform loving CEO Mark Ashton becoming the Arthur Daley of ITFC? Deals he signed off reveal special 'must buy' on promotion e.g. Akpom. Can't get into our Champs. side, can't score goals now we've signed for another 3 years!!🤣 First of many to be revealed I fear...

We can't prosecute Water Companies for polluting every river and most of the seas in England. We can't prosecute the people who burned 72 people alive at Grenfell. But if you inconvenience the people selling weapons to commit Genocide. We can.

Today, the day before the locals, the Times - feeder to the media stories of the day - puts the Polanski Red Cross story on its front page. At no point has it put Farage and his £5million bribe from a foreign-based crypto billionaire on its front page. Maybe tomorrow? Hahahaha. Of course not.

Boris Johnson was a product of the media and their failure to hold him to account. Donald Trump is a product of the media and their failure to hold him to account. Nigel Farage is a product of the media and their failure to hold him to account. Are these really the people we want to be in charge?

Farage is a racist. Reform is a racist party. You don’t *have* to be racist to vote for Reform, but…. it’s looking more and more likely.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Since the war on Iran began on Feb 28, Israel has launched near-daily attacks on Lebanon, Gaza, and the occupied West Bank. In that time, Israel killed at least 107 people, permitted only 8% of medical evacuations, and admitted just 20% of aid trucks into Gaza. 🔗: aje.news/u0qdtx | #Infograph

Hormuz crisis: Trump in dire straits The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1671 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “HORMUZ CRISIS – TRUMP IN DIRE STRAITS.” The cover features two side-by-side images: on the left, Donald Trump sits at a desk holding a telephone receiver with a speech bubble saying “I need help.” On the right, UK prime minister Keir Starmer sits at a desk in front of shelves of legal books, also on the phone, replying in a speech bubble: “We’ve known that for years, you nutter!” A strap-line at the bottom reads: “NATO’S MINEFIELD POLICY – ‘AMERICA FIRST’.”

Fascinating thread. An Italian friend of mine was commissioned to compose soundscapes for libraries (very low-key music/traffic noise/background chatter) because a survey showed that young users found the silence in them off-putting.

@alexnljones.bsky.social My season ticket on Saturday paid wages of 4 black players in starting 11 and 5 black or of colour on subs bench. If they all (& any other staff member) refuse now to play or work at ITFC then good. Players must refuse to play next game. Simple as that. Ashton has to go.

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations. Genociding Palestinians in Gaza. Wiping out entire villages in South Lebanon. Kidnapping the President of Venezuela. Suffocating Cuba. And still they dare to lecture the world about “human rights” and “international law.”
