We live in a country held to ransom by property development. In Southend, my home, which I love dearly, the football club and its most famous building (the kursaal) are owned by external parties who have left both fall to complete ruin. (1/10)
My parents or school never read stories with two dads to me.
I never saw pride flags as a kid.
I didn’t learn the word gay until I was in secondary school.
I didn’t see any gay role models on tv.
But I’m gay, and always have been.
Straight representation didn’t make me straight. Gay representation won’t make kids gay.
But not having a variety of representation will make some kids feel like they don’t belong, or are wrong.
If people won’t allow children to see the diversity of families, they’re failing them and putting their own prejudice above the wellbeing of their children.
Section 28 banned the ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in schools and is still having effects today, despite being repealed 20 years ago.
Ignorance or bigotry can no longer be used as an excuse and all children should see versions of themselves in our schools and in their lives.
Cost of everything crisis and all Sunak offers is a smoking ban, different A-Levels and outright transphobia. He's turned up to a gunfight with a banana peel.
So the assistant wrongly flags for offside, VAR Darren England wrongly thinks the goal has been awarded rather than disallowed, so does a quick check, sees it’s onside and wrongly tells Simon Hooper to stick with the decision.
You couldn’t make it up.
It’s an horrendous mistake no matter how they did it.
But if they knew just after the Spurs free kick was taken that they’d made a huge mistake, it’s nonsense they can’t bring it back just because a free kick has been taken.

Thanks to Brexit, Brits have the right to work the longest hours in Europe, until they reach the highest retirement age in Europe, when they get one of the lowest pensions in Europe. Why won't Remainers acknowledge that?
It would take the average UK worker more than 32,000 years to make what British Gas just made in 6 months.
This is a cost-of-greed crisis — and millions of people are paying the price.
There is an alternative: bring energy into democratic public ownership!
Suddenly, this summer, the planet seems to be on fire. Marine heatwaves, wildfires, heat domes, and none as dramatic as what’s unfolding in Greece. Welcome to the Pyrocene, the first era of the Age of Extinction.
It’s the age of fire and it’s undeniably here. 1/6
Earth’s hottest recorded day was 16.92°C (62.46°F) on 24 July 2022
We’ve broken this record on each of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 July 2023, so far
It’s the hottest it’s been in 125,000 years. Now back to drilling for oil everyone
Rome crushes its all-time temperature record by two degrees--two degrees *Celsius.*
That's statistically...crazy. But it shows we're living on a new planet
Most people STILL don’t know what peril they are in. This will be the coolest summer for the rest of your life, and that shouldn’t be just a meme - it should be actually terrifying. The ONLY path out of this heat nightmare is to end fossil fuels ASAP
