[Ian Morley @Imorley65]

@Dunsbyowl @Owlsonline @SUFCRootsHall The widespread clashes in the town center, stadium damage, and subsequent mass arrests became so severe that they were explicitly condemned and debated by MPs within the UK Parliament as a prime example of the era's football hooliganism crisis. [1]

@Dunsbyowl @Owlsonline @SUFCRootsHall Wednesday, Rucks and Rock 'n' Roll features a prominent account of the notorious violence at Southend United. [1, 2]
The book details a specific, highly destructive incident on 22 April 1989, when Sheffield Wednesday fans travelled to Roots Hall for an FA Cup match.

[Ian Morley @Imorley65]

@Dunsbyowl @Owlsonline @SUFCRootsHall Bit before my time but I think there was a lot of trouble at this one, so bad that it was discussed in Parliament. I remember reading it in a book that was called something like Wednesday Rucks and rock n roll

@Dunsbyowl Be interesting to see how many goals Hirsty scored in the same period and how many assists they had for each other. Bloody awesome.

🚨INSANITY: The average British worker works 40 hours a week, year after year, watching taxes climb while the cost of living crushes them and still barely make ends meet.

Meanwhile, the government is spending your money like this:

Aid across the world:

• World Health Organisation: £310M
• Ukraine: £237M
• Ethiopia: £217M
• Afghanistan: £171M
• Syria: £146M
• Yemen: £144M
• Somalia: £143M
• Sudan: £140M
• South Sudan: £134M
• Palestine: £129M
• Nigeria: £117M
• Congo (DRC): £107M
• Pakistan: £99M
• Overseas Territories: £98M
• Kenya: £79M
• Jordan: £68M
• Myanmar: £65M
• Bangladesh: £61M
• Nepal: £60M
• Lebanon: £56M
• Tanzania: £56M
• Malawi: £50M
• Mozambique: £49M
• Uganda: £46M
• Indonesia: £45M
• Zambia: £42M
• Rwanda: £31M
• Zimbabwe: £31M
• Sierra Leone: £30M
• Turkey: £19M
• Ghana and Liberia: £16M
• South Africa: £14M
• Eastern Neighbourhood: £14M
• Central Asia: £13M
• Western Balkans: £13M

Illegal immigration:

Housing and benefits: £5/6billion
Translation fees: £150M

Foreign criminals in British prisons: £600M​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

NET STUPID ZERO 6.7 BILLION.

Just in this list alone it exceeds:
£15.5 BILLION!!!

YET, there’s no money to fix pot holes, the NHS, police on the streets, schools falling apart, social care for the elderly, housing the homeless, or support for veterans.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.. amongst other things,

Absolutely disgraceful.

If you want to see witless, privileged, astonishingly hypocritical leftist women lost for words and unable to even look at the camera..... I suggest that if you only watch one video on X every year you watch this one. It is unmissably brilliant.

Una presentadora multimillonaria exige a Elon Musk que done su fortuna... Quedo destrozada con la respuesta que le dieron.

«¿Qué hace Elon Musk con su dinero? Va a ser trillonario. Podría salvar países enteros. ¿Lo va a hacer? No. ¿Es que crees que vas a vivir para siempre, Elon?

—Un par de apuntes, Joy. Menos del 0,1% del patrimonio de Elon es dinero en el banco. El 99,9% restante son acciones y propiedad de sus empresas: SpaceX, Tesla y otras.

Esas empresas han creado más de 160.000 empleos directos, 600.000 indirectos y 500.000 más inducidos. Al menos 1 millón de personas en el mundo ponen pan en su mesa gracias a ellas.

Tú, en cambio, tienes 30 millones de dólares. No has creado empleos. Y casi todo tu dinero está listo para gastarse.

¿Vas a vivir para siempre, Joy? ¿Por qué no regalas TÚ tu dinero? Con un tercio podrías alimentar a 3.000 personas un año entero.

¿Cuándo empieza tu donación?»

No sign of any dinghies on their way but UK Border Force must have been tipped off by the French about boats coming and are waiting mid channel. We are being played here. They are complicit in this invasion.

“We love death, you love life. We win.”

Melanie Phillips argues the West is failing to deter Iran and Islamist adversaries because it is unwilling to endure long-term sacrifice, undermining its own security in the process.

@MelanieLatest warns that if the West refuses to take pain, it loses, pointing out that Islamist movements are willing to endure endless suffering and loss, while the West recoils from pain. And that mismatch, she argues, is shaping the outcome of the conflict.

@Dunsbyowl Change it back

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

Good news! Reform won 7 council by-elections last night.

Take the St Helens Town Centre Ward, last up in 2022. We went from 0% to 39%, smashing Labour. The Conservatives got 3.6%. They are no longer a national party.

In Wilnecote Ward in Tamworth, we thrashed the Conservatives. Our vote was up +33%, theirs down -20%.

We also won big in Cambridgeshire, Rhyl South, Nuneaton and Staffordshire.

Across the country, people get it. Britain is broken. Only Reform will fix it!

Alastair,

Am alive and noisy

You are old enough to remember 1976

50 yrs ago…. Kids went to school, people went to work

Net Stupid Zero is the greatest policy mistake of the 21st century along with mass low skilled immigration

[The Black Opinion @opinion_black]

Image for a moment that you are one of the 411 MP’s sitting on the Labour parliamentary benches. You have an enormous majority of 172 seats. Effectively your party is in a powerful position from a political perspective.

Unfortunately the party leader fails to connect to the wider public and it is deemed necessary to move him on. Ordinarily what would then occur is a search to find a successor amongst the other 410 MP’s.

That did not occur. Someone decided that a mayor in Manchester should be parachuted into parliament to become leader of this nuclear armed 7th richest country on Earth. Who was it that decided that? Who greenlighted this WEF stooge? What have they instructed him to do? Why is this being allowed to take place?

If Andy Burnham wants to become PM it should be done by way of calling an immediate election. Coronations are for the Royal Families.

Meanwhile, those 410 MP’s should be ashamed that this has been allowed to happen. What is now clear is that the concept of a parliamentary democracy is well and truly busted.
