No discernible accent. Resting bear face.

@Tim_Vickery As opposed to the England team, who are ON THE PLANE! 😂

Palestine Action is in good company. British governments and courts criminalised resistance to slavery, the Chartist movement for universal male suffrage, any organising by trade unionists, and the Suffragette movement to win women the vote.

None of our rights were given to us by the ruling class. We had to fight for each of them tooth and nail.

The British establishment is always on the wrong side of history, because history is with the struggle of ordinary people, not with the selfish interests of the billionaires and war industries.

Those earlier struggles were deemed the terrorism of their day by the very same "liberals" – the British establishment and its useful idiots – who today declare any practical action to stop British complicity in Israel's genocide to be terrorism.

Note too as proof of bad faith: the British establishment is well advanced in its efforts to declare entirely peaceful protest – marches through the streets – as anti-social, hate crimes and soon enough terrorism too.

The ruling class consider attempts to stop a genocide, even holding a banner against the mass murder of children, to be far worse than racist pogroms in Belfast, which try to burn alive people in their homes because of the colour of their skin.

Sentenced as terrorists despite never being charged with, or convicted of, a terrorism offence.

Yeah that seems about right…

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

@RobRyanRed Genuinely don’t care - if we make the play offs great, if we don’t we’re back in the championship next year, also great. I’d rather be going to Oxford or Lincoln for a great day out than Man City or Fulham for whatever that is.

@onyerheadapp Liam Rosenior says “sorry, that was a legacy hand raise”

@MIKEYWMS @melysmusic @NewWaveAndPunk How am I only just finding this?! Amazing!

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

@SkyFootball Would love to see them getting other club owners doing this as so many keep suggesting - Man City vs West Ham would be a belter 😂😂

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

I know people hate the adverts, but that’s been the best bit of the first half for some of us #ENGvWAL

@SoVeryBritish Moving to Birmingham are we??

@MarvaKreel They’ve managed to read the Nativity story and come out rooting for Herod…

Number of homeless children in England hit a record high yesterday.

@fearlessidzine First come first served is definitely more transparent than a ballot. And works better for those who can only attend some games due to distance/work/family commitments. I don’t mind missing a game because others get there first (works for away tickets).

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

@RobRyanRed It doesn’t work if you can only apply for certain games, I’m 0/2 and without any kind of system for ensuring fair distribution I’m not expecting much this season. It probably works great if you’re a tourist tho… 😏

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

I didn’t have high expectations for this Labour gov but expected a step up from the shambolic, dimwitted corruption of the last Tory shower.

Yet here we are, arresting people in the hundreds for holding up placards.

Can you arrest a government for wasting police time?

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

Yesterday hundreds of thousands of people all over the world took to the streets in solidarity with Gaza and Palestine. Thousands of folks in London gathered at the Parliament building. They turned their backs on Parliament as a reminder that Parliament has turned its back on Gaza. And hundreds of people (including clergy, pastors, rabbis, doctors, teachers, and students) participated in the nonviolent direct action (@RedLetterXians was well-represented!). Rev. Dr. Sally Mann, co-director of Red Letter Christians UK was one of nearly 500 people arrested, and here she is smiling as she is detained because she knows she is on the right side of history.

It is illegal to hold a sign in England that says "I oppose the genocide and support Palestine Action" -- and the maximum sentence (for holding a sign!) is over 10 years in prison.

There is something wrong with a government that arrests people protesting a genocide and protects the people committing the genocide.

Thank you for your courage... may we keep turning up the volume for love, and compassion, and peace.

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

Still, at least I’ve got a club to moan about.
What’s happened at @MorecambeFC could easily have happened to us on more than one occasion.
It’s an insult to fans and the community that more wasn’t done to resolve the situation.

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

Don’t mind missing a @Wrexham_AFC game if I’m too slow when tickets go on sale.
But missing out on the 1 home game I can go to this month because of some half-baked ballot system AND being slapped with a £9 out-of-towners tax for away tickets sucks.

[Gareth Webber @GarethJWebber]

@jojoroche @racecourserambl Exactly this - the old system worked much better for fans who don’t live in Wrexham and have to pick and choose which games they’re able to get to. I can do West Brom but I can’t do Hull or Wednesday.
