It's so funny how managers will basically say they didn't feel the club set them up for success because they didn't sign me 11 new players that all happen to be among the best in their positions
And then fans reaction to that will be "they're absolutely right."
Gary Lineker, "I actually think that 80-90% of the country just want to get on with their lives, be friendly with their neighbours"
"They don't look at people of different religions, skin colours, beliefs, traits, and think badly of them"
"I think we're divided deliberately to distract"
Concur on all accounts - most people just want to live and get on with life, if only our politicians created a stable and ambitious enough approach to life so we could do that, without having to call out their repeated and monumental short-failings
The Best TV Shows of 2025: #Andor
“Andor” was all about the ordinary people who make political movements work and won’t be remembered by history.
The Disney+ series made these fictional people so complete in such a short period of time, and within a framework as historically constricting as a blockbuster franchise, that it deserves to be remembered as the show of the year, if not the decade so far.

There’s a bizarre collective delusion surrounding Bellingham. It’s become in vogue to have an agenda against him, and it’s not based on his quality of football at all. English culture hates anyone who’s vaguely self-confident, and people make it their mission to drag him down
Stellan Skarsgård on his worldviews
"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"
"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people"

London is portrayed as a dystopian hellhole of lawlessness and no-go zones by people who have never set foot in it. A narrative turbo-charged by social media disinformation designed to create fear, division and hate (while ignoring actual issues of affordability & absenteeism).
Corbyn meeting a Czech embassy official was a major news story more than three decades after it happened. Reform's Welsh leader pleading guilty to bribes from Russia is somehow not worth reporting.
