England fans. Hypothetical question for sure, but if you could PICK the player who scores with the winning goal in the World Cup final for England… who are you picking and why?
For my non-UK friends who don't follow our politics:
- The leader of the far right party has called an election in his area as a publicity stunt to show he can win against "the establishment"
- He will be running exclusively against a man wearing a bin
- He might actually lose
Can we just go back to when it was Tony Blair vs David Cameron and we knew they were both bad. Genuinely I’ll take it at this point. This is astounding. They’re fucking desperate for us to turn into America at this point. How is this allowed man 😭😭😭😭
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
I celebrated last night by being tucked up in bed carefully walking through the land of nod. I celebrated Newcastle winning the cup like I’d been told I have 12 hours left to live and only drinking pints would save me
Actually not trying to wind anyone up.
Genuinely just asking…
But you “club over country” lot… when was the last time you celebrated like last night over your club?
I’ll try to be as plain and simple as possible, Dom.
The rules represent the lowering of a portcullis with 6 clubs already inside the castle.
6 clubs that built revenue streams in a time of little to no restrictions, in varying ways. Some through success, some through their location, some through having ambitious, wealthy owners that front loaded their way to being healthy, sustainable businesses (an acceptable and common practice in all business but football apparently). Most are a mix of the above.
The rest are now left to climb the walls of the castle to gain entry, rather than walk through the doorway the original six entered through.
As a result, those 6 can sit pretty inside the castle and pick off whoever they like from those attempting to scale the wall… kicking them further down while building the walls higher with the scraps they take from them. Not through any current sporting merit… just because they passed through the entry before the portcullis was slammed shut.
The rules are, therefore, unfit for purpose for a competitive sport and need to be reimagined.
I understand the fear is that another City or Chelsea happens - but you can’t cut the rope to 86 clubs in order to protect 6.
Now, for clarity - I’m not accusing Spurs of doing anything underhand to get to their current position - but surely you must see how unfairly the system is rigged against everyone that’s now trying to achieve something?
Well aye, obviously. It doesn't take much internet literacy to see it clearly. Exactly the same as Restore. 10k-20k likes every single tweet, actual real humans have never even heard of the party or their policies. Russian propaganda machine goes brrrrr.

@A_C_Whitehouse@Heccles94@PolitlcsUK Talking to you about law would be like trying to talk to my dog about the stock market. Have a nice day shouting into the void, man. Go touch grass and don’t be so hateful towards people who need help :)
