How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.
I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
BREAKING
Spain’s PM Sánchez:
“They say that Spain is alone.”
“They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.”
“We are not alone. We are the first.”
“Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.” 🇪🇸
⚡️🇪🇸BREAKING: Spain’s MEP Irene Montero calls on Spain to leave NATO and says:
“The United States and Israel are currently the main threats to the security and stability of humanity”
“People don't have to pay for Trump's illegal invasions. We must prevent and limit the price of energy, food, and basic products right now, make public transportation free, and leave NATO because being allies of the US puts us in danger.”
He’s 100 years old.
He fought in a war that most of us today can barely imagine.
He saw his friends, many just boys, go off to fight and never return.
He’s carried those memories for a lifetime.
And recently, on live television, he broke down and asked a question no veteran should ever have to ask, “Was it worth it”
When the men who sacrificed everything for freedom now look at the state of their country and wonder if that sacrifice still matters, it should make all of us stop and think.
Remembrance isn’t just a poppy on a lapel or a minute of silence once a year.
It’s a responsibility, to honour their legacy by protecting the values and freedoms they fought for.
Our culture.
Our freedoms.
Our sense of community and national identity.
If we stop respecting those things, if tradition loses meaning, if honour and pride are dismissed as outdated, then we risk forgetting what they stood for.
We don’t honour the fallen by remembering them once a year, we honour them by living in a way that keeps their sacrifices meaningful.
By standing up for our country, our values, and our way of life.
He wasn’t crying out of weakness.
He was crying because he remembers the cost of forgetting.
Many have noticed a change in the order of songs pre-match at St James’ Park in the last couple of weeks.
The club have told us the decision to swap Local Hero with the Blaydon Races before kick-off was done primarily at the request of the players and coaching staff, who want to hear the fans singing right at kick-off, which is not possible with Local Hero but is with The Blaydon Races!
So whilst honouring the tradition of those two songs, the club have swapped them round so that Local Hero plays before the team emerge and The Blaydon Races before kick-off.
It’s up to us to live up to that request and belt out the Blaydon Races and also carry it into the game.
Massive game tomorrow night. Bring your scarf, get it twirling, get behind the lads. Howay Newcastle!
Mayweather- “I got 250k on my pinky, 300k on my wrist”
Hatton- “yeah but you’re a dick”
Ricky Hatton was a national treasure, he took numbers to Vegas from the UK that will never be replicated, a fantastic fighter and a really funny guy
RIP CHAMP 🩵

42 mins till about 47 minutes is so pertinent (hope that links worked) this ideology is at fault for your 'migrant crisis' and the cost of 'broken Britain', the demonisation of migrants is a weapon used to appropriate it. We are goverens by ghouls.
Used to be able to trust social media for your news, bought and worthless.
Up the mags, everyone played their bit. They're scared & should be, It's only a matter of time.
Listen to how he speaks about this football club man. It is everything you want in a manager.
Basically we know we have quality players, we will get more, and if you don’t find ur an honour to be here then fuck off.
No better manager for this club than Howe mind.

@Dale9Ds If he has another season like the last with us, there will be more than Liverpool after him - benefits us all to get him playing.. if he stays
It's pony how his heads turned, but the amount of money involved it's got to be harder to navigate that we know and he's only human - if he starts the season with us, support him I say. It's literally our unique selling point.
Rules changed as soon as the new owners come in, every player we look at other clubs come in for. Disrupting and low balling offers for Isak, they can't allow a seventh into the 'big six' I think.
