Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 09/10/2026As someone who lives a short drive from Ebbsfleet "International", if someone wants to start running services to Europe from there, we'll use them. The one thing we won't do is schlep up to central London to pick up a train which takes use back past where we started. 100

Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I wonder what Pochin's opinion would be if a guy, I don't know, let's say a Muslim in the UK, made a homemade bomb at home and targeted UK infrastructure? 2812
Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This quote from the article seems worth highlighting given this is not news: "A spokesperson for the BBC said: "The edits to Horrible Histories were made seven years ago, in consultation with the programme makers, to ensure the series meets our editorial guidelines for children's programmes."" 010

Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This is almost the worst possible response. He should've doubled down on his sitting on the fence and not commented. We all know what/who he is and no-one has changed their opinion of him now. Most people don't agree with him but if you're going to have a principle, at least stick to it man! 020
Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I guess it's the Coventry and Crystal Palace games that become absolute must-wins. The former because it's a promoted team and the latter because I'm going to that game (!). 000

Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I, for one, liked Eins Zwei Drei and I also liked What The Hell Just Happened. I guess we can put it largely down to Brexit and that the rest of Europe hates us but then Sam Ryder is the outlier there. 020

Matthew Bland @thematthewbland.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Aside from the first twenty minutes or so, they didn't look like they want to go forward at times. They offered the sideways or backwards pass when there's was a ball on. Maybe a lack of confidence or something. Savio was very exciting in the first half. 000
