A los argentinos cuando Maradona metió un gol con la mano no les pareció sospechoso. Cuando los argentinos le dieron agua con somníferos a Brasil no les pareció raro. Cuando su dictadura robó el mundial de 1978 todo estaba bien. Los 5 penaltis en 7 partidos de Qatar tampoco les pareció sospechoso. No les pareció sospechoso robarle a Egipto o a Suiza. Pero perder una final en la que tiraron 0 veces en 120 minutos les esta pareciendo un robo y todo muy conspiranoico. Te tienes que reír 😆

Richard is an ex-Royal Marine veteran. He fought for his country in the Falklands, was wounded in battle, suffered a devastating PTSD-induced breakdown, lost his partner, lost his home, and ended up sleeping rough. When he needed his country, there was no safety net.

Meanwhile, “Stacksa Pula”, fleeing “war-torn” Botswana that’s never had a war, steps off a dinghy and straight into taxpayer-funded hotel accommodation with free everything.

The contrast is obscene.

The evil bastards who dragged the body of Pc Harper a mile should not be set for early release.

They should have been imprisoned for life.

Our justice system is a joke. https://t.co/y9Oj7HnpUt

Remembering Corporal Jason Barnes, Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers attached to 2nd Bn The Parachute Regiment, died on 22nd July 2008 aged 25. Jason was driving an ambulance when it hit an IED near Kajaki, Northern Helmand, Afghanistan. Jason was from Exeter. #Afghanistan

🚨 "I am Peter, living man, son of Michael and Lily."

Those were the haunting last words of 61-year-old grandfather Peter Lynch — repeated over and over to prison guards as he refused food and water before taking his own life in HMP Moorland.

Arrested for shouting at police during the Rotherham riots outside an asylum hotel, this dad and grandad got 2 years 8 months. No violence against officers, but part of an angry crowd protesting grooming gangs, open borders & child safety.

Now he's dead. While the government fast-tracked riot sentences and ignored root causes, a confused, vulnerable man slipped through the cracks with zero mental health referral.

This isn't justice. This is what government overreach looks like when it crushes ordinary people raising their voices. RIP Peter Lynch. Britain needs to wake up.

Former Spain and Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos in a recent interview about the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.

“I love Messi, yes he’s a genius,” Ramos said. “But him and the Argentine squad were really playing dirty in the final. The game and the officials were clearly supporting Argentina. They tried as much as they could to rig it, just like they did in the 2022 final. Thank God the Spanish team is different we rose above it and deserved the win.”

When pressed about Argentina’s controversial match against England earlier in the tournament, Ramos doubled down:

“The Argentine squad should have been suspended and stripped of their world titles after raising that flag and Enzo’s celebration. FIFA overlooked everything. There were so many calls that were not credited. It’s unfair. But I'm glad they lost".

I’ve been to Gaza 3 times during the war, I’m writing my PhD on it, and I have a book coming out early next year.

I did 16 years in the British Army, three tours of Afghanistan. The IDF operates to the same standards we do.

Streeting doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[Heroes Of Britain @HeroesOfBritain]

His final message to the medic treating him was simple: "Tell my mum I love her."

At just 19 years old, Peter Aldridge had already become someone others looked up to.

A Rifleman with A Company, 4th Battalion The Rifles, Peter was known for his determination, humour, and professionalism.

He volunteered to become his section's lead man after a comrade was killed, taking on one of the most dangerous roles on patrol by helping lead his section through ground threatened by improvised explosive devices.

On 22 January 2010, while on a foot patrol near Sangin, Helmand Province, Peter was killed in an explosion during an operation to provide security for the local population.

He was just 19 years old but he was brave Rifleman. A natural leader. Forever remembered 🌹🇬🇧

PC Andrew Harper was dragged to his death at 42mph. His uniform was torn off and his injuries were so bad that first responders thought he was a deer carcass.

The men who killed him showed zero remorse they even laughed in court. They got just 13 years each for manslaughter.

Now, under Labour’s new early release scheme, two of them could walk free after only 6.5 years.

This is a total insult to PC Harper, his family, and every police officer. Killing a cop and showing no regret should mean real time behind bars — not a slap on the wrist because prisons are full.

How can any government release such evil monsters back onto this country’s streets especially after they have shown no remorse or empathy of their atrocious crimes.

Any government that is prepared to release such evil into society is itself an enemy of the people.

🗣️Marc Cucurella: I’m still shocked by what happened between me and Leo Messi during the World Cup final.

I explained to Messi that Cubarsí had injured his mouth, but instead, he told the referee that I was covering my mouth to direct a racist insult at him and pushed for me to be sent off with a red card.

That moment completely changed the way I saw him. It showed me that even the King of Football can make decisions that many people would see as unfair. For me, that incident lacked the sportsmanship and class expected from a player of his stature, and I simply cannot respect that.

It made me question the fairness of everything that happened that day. Winning is important, but honesty and integrity should always come first. When someone misrepresents your words to gain an advantage, it’s hard to look at them the same way again.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been my idol since I was a child, and nothing has changed that. I admire his discipline, mentality, and relentless work ethic. In my eyes, he built his legacy through dedication, perseverance, and merit alone, that is why Cristiano Ronaldo will always be my greatest football inspiration.

@asda @Morrisons @sainsburys @waitrose wake up and read the room, your behaviour to these hard working, decent men is disgusting.

[Benonwine @benonwine]

Gary MacArthur gave 15 years of his life to Sainsbury’s in West Wickham, south-east London.

He wasn’t some troublemaker.

He was the worker who stayed late to make female colleagues feel safer.

The worker who performed CPR on the store’s only security guard after he suffered a suspected stroke.

The worker who had already previously LOST TEETH after being punched by a thief while trying to protect the store.

But after tackling an allegedly aggressive repeat offender known for targeting the branch and stealing bottles of Moët, Bollinger and Veuve Clicquot Sainsbury’s sacked him for gross misconduct.

This was after colleagues screamed there was an “aggressive Champagne thief” in the store.

According to reports, the shoplifter later smashed bottles and hurled them at staff.

Yet Gary MacArthur a man who dedicated 15 years of loyalty, protected colleagues and even helped save a life that same day — was told he should have acted only as a “visual deterrent.”

Absolutely disgusting.

Supermarket workers are being punched, threatened, abused and terrorised by repeat shoplifters on a daily basis… yet the staff who actually step in to protect colleagues and customers are the ones losing their jobs.

Gary MacArthur at Sainsbury’s.
Walker Smith at Waitrose.
Sean Egan at Morrisons.
Gavin Ramsay at Asda.

Decades of loyalty thrown away because they refused to stand by while thieves ran riot.

What kind of country are we becoming where the people trying to protect others lose everything… while the criminals walk straight back out onto the streets?

“I’d be thinking ‘he’s going to detonate something.’"

Sir Keir Starmer says he’s met the police officers who arrested the suspect in the Golders Green attack and responds to criticism of how they acted to disable the man.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Are you listening @Keir_Starmer?

More than 3,200 lawyers including 300 top barristers and retired judges have called on you to drop your plan to restrict the right to trial by jury.

30 organisations representing victims of violence against women and girls have written to the Justice Secretary urging him against curtailing the right to jury trials.

Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. The government has no mandate to restrict it - a move which will put us on a path toward authoritarian justice.

It’s not too late for the government to listen to the thousands of voices of victims, judges, barristers, other legal professionals and academics who oppose this blatant act of constitutional vandalism.

On Carnaby Street last night, a kid on a bike cycled up, saw it was me, looked friendly at first then offered up his favourite “lyric”: “Heil Hitler.” I wasn’t sure whether to share this. I hadn’t experienced that personally before. The most striking thing: I wasn’t shocked. No threat. No anger. Not a victim. Just: what has he been taught Hatred is learned. We are not defined by it. We answer it by what we teach.

BREAKING 🚨

I understand that the Prime Minister is absolutely furious. He is extremely angry that no one told him that his neice is related to him

I understand he plans to sack Cabinet Secretary Antonia Romeo, unless she can find a Memo where she informed him

Elisjsha Dicken was shopping with his girlfriend at a mall in Indiana when a gunman started shooting in the food court. Putting his own life in danger, Elisjsha confronted the gunman and neutralized him within fifteen seconds...

Countless lives were saved.

Nicholas Bostic was delivering pizza in Indiana when he saw a house go up in flames.

Without hesitating, he ran into the house and pulled four occupants out.

He was then told there was a six year old child still inside.

Bostic ran back into the fully engulfed home, found the child and while cradling her, he jumped out of a second story window to safety.

A lot of attention is given to the worst of society, but we need to remember that the human spirit is still alive and well.

These are the people that our attention should be focused on.

Our lives are all elevated when we take seriously the responsibility of being our brothers keepers.
