Returned to Boston to find good Scottish weather and a warm welcome home from @queensparkfc! I’m speechless! And thank you for the invitation to a match. I would love to attend some day! <adds to list>
"Mo Chara’s real problem is that the message he put out landed. Working-class people aren’t meant to speak like this, organise like this, or connect struggles across borders like this. That’s what scares them.
While Mo Chara stands in the dock for allegedly waving a flag, those complicit in a genocide walk the streets untouched. Since October 2023, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza – entire families erased, journalists targeted, children bombed in their beds.
More than 300 officials at the Foreign Office raised their concerns about Israel’s “stark … disregard for international law”. And yet, the UK government continues to greenlight arms deals and offer diplomatic cover. That’s not a performance. That’s a conscious policy decision. Made in Westminster, paid for by the taxpayer, and buried beneath silence.
They’ve tried this before. Give Ireland Back to the Irish – banned. Christy Moore – detained. The Pogues’ Streets of Sorrow – silenced for decades. And now, it seems to be Mo Chara – for turning protest into poetry, politics into art.
So here’s the question – the same one Pete Seeger asked, the same one Mo Chara asks now: Which side are you on?

Exactly this. They all love the working-class game when they can politicise and profit from it. But if you want to know why we struggle to produce world-class players, look no further than the locked-up pitches and centres that charge obscene amounts to simply play football!

Hear me out, but the most fascinating club in British football currently are... Queen's Park.
Their aim: use data, science, a Dutch sporting director and talent ID to create a homegrown XI that can take a bottom-tier club to the top.
Long read.

Regardless of surrounding context I reckon these are hieroglyphs showing the moment baby Moses is thrown in the Nile, watched by ancient Egyptians with the pyramids in the background. What secrets are Scotrail protecting?
We here at Cartha are hosting a fundraising Quiz on 2nd December to raise money for Glasgow Children’s Hospital in memory of Siobhan Cattigan. Many of us had the experience of playing with and against her and seeing her for the incredible rugby talent that she was.

More that 59°C was measured on the soil surface in Spain 🇪🇸 and 48°C in the south on France 🇫🇷.
This is not « just summer ».
It is « just hell » and will pretty soon become « just the end of human life » if we continue with our climate inaction.

@tristangrayedi@UN I'm sure if they used their imaginations there would be something more the UN could do, if properly empowered. Ukraine shouldn't be left alone to drain Russian resources at the cost of their lives. I don't know what can be done.
