Want to save the West? Start by telling your children the truth.

A society that teaches its children to hate their inheritance shouldn't be surprised when they fail to preserve it.

Teach your children gratitude. Teach them why freedom matters. Teach them what made the West successful.

Because if you don't tell them the truth about their civilisation, someone else will tell them a lie.

@FevsFootball Indeed. Thanks for the heads up Fevs. I almost replied to the phishing message but had seen your post. Hope you get it sorted

@robtFPL You do incredible work to help the FPL community Rob. Thanks for everything, enjoy the summer and look forward to following your content next season

@FPL_Harry One left footed left back is the biggest problem/risk. Henderson is by far the weakest link. I’d probably fix left back first… just

@actyper @ShiDavidi Well said. Either we’ve sold the Dodgers a dud or we shouldn’t have dropped him

Ricky Gervais Drops Truth Bombs on Stephen Colbert in Epic Religion Debate 🔥

“There are about 3,000 gods. You believe in one, so you don’t believe in 2,999 gods… and I don’t believe in just one more.”

And on science vs religion:

“If we took any holy book or any fiction and destroyed it, in a thousand years it wouldn’t come back just as it was.

Whereas if we took every science book and fact and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they’d all be back, because the same tests would give the same results.”

Colbert’s reaction? “That’s good… That’s really good.”

Ricky is brilliant, always calm and explains his points so well.

Respectful debate done right. 👏🏻

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent.

For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern.

The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her.

The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself.

Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future.

This is how ideological takeover works.

A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs.

It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to.

Then it moves inward.

It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt.

At that point, the civilization turns on itself.

Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system.

They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them.

And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left.

The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself.

The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.

In Birmingham, England’s second city, 30% Muslim population, one candidate campaigns in front of the cameras saying “the Zionists control everything.”

Either you understand why this is a problem, or you are part of the problem.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

@FPL_Barbossa Cracking message. Tom you’re an FPL great. Be true to yourself and enjoy the balance of being awesome at FPL, but more importantly awesome to your family!

It didn't fail to reflect the gravity of the situation. It failed to accurately communicate who was responsible, who the intended victims were and where the blame for the attempted terrorist attack lay. In other words you didn't accidentally downplay the seriousness of it, you deliberately misrepresented what happened to conceal the truth from the public.

A massive tool of hate, stood next to a Union flag.

It is not

War on Iran

It's a war *for* Iran

Every football club on earth exists because of this island. 🇬🇧

Kings banned it. The richest schools in England claimed it. They wrote the rules and locked the gates.

Then the working class stole it back.

In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act. Work stopped at two on a Saturday. Working men had free time. And they chose football.

Churches formed clubs to keep men out of pubs: Aston Villa, Bolton, Everton.

Factories formed teams from their own workers: West Ham from the Thames Ironworks, Arsenal from a munitions factory.

The FA Cup Final. Blackburn Olympic: weavers, spinners, a plumber. They beat the Old Etonians 2-1. No private school team ever reached the final again.

Then British workers carried it everywhere they went ⚽🌍

Scottish miners in Spain founded its oldest club. A Nottingham lace trader gave Juventus their black and white stripes.
A butcher's son from the same city founded AC Milan. British railway workers in Uruguay named their team after Stephenson's Rocket.
Cornish miners founded Mexico's first football club. A schoolteacher from Kent taught the game to his students in Argentina. His school produced Lionel Messi.
A boy from Southampton brought two footballs to Brazil. They call him the father of Brazilian football.
Real Madrid are said to wear white because of an English amateur team.

From Lancashire cotton mills to every continent on earth.

Three and a half billion people watch football. The most popular sport ever created. And it was created here. By the British people.

Every Saturday, three o'clock. That kickoff time exists because of the Factory Act of 1850. The moment working men were given an afternoon off.

They chose football. And the world followed.

No owners. No sponsors. Just supporters.

@SkyBetChamp @BristolCity More absurd from the referee with the offside then non penalty call

There’s a pretty simple solution to the NBA’s tanking problem.
You encourage teams to win, rather than lose.
The teams with the best record to worst record outside the playoffs get the most lottery balls to least (remove the play-in games).

@FPLPhysioo Love your work but spot on a generous self appraisal. If targeting a return for the derby in 27 he’s 100% a sell not a hold

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

It’s virtue signalling on a grand scale. Close everything in the Uk, buy it all in from China or India, pretend we don’t emit any carbons … it’s a lie, a magic trip of hypocrisy & corruption as individuals make a fortune out of net zero forced upon us.
