48 years ago today:

Graeme Souness spreads the play, then makes a late run into the box at Anfield.

What follows is his first goal for the club… and a volley of the highest order.

Defence Secretary John Healey: Funding Forever Wars

George Orwell, writing through the voice of Emmanuel Goldstein in Nineteen Eighty-Four, understood the true purpose of modern conflict with a clarity that ought to haunt us: “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” He went further, explaining that perpetual warfare serves a precise economic function: “War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.”

You have to wonder what Orwell would make of today’s announcement. While NHS waiting lists stretch beyond 7.5 million, while councils from Hull to Sunderland sell off leisure centres and youth clubs to balance books that will never balance, while a third of British children lack access to a nearby playground, Defence Secretary John Healey has unveiled another £500 million air defence package for Ukraine. This latest tranche, announced not in Parliament but at NATO headquarters in Brussels, brings the United Kingdom’s total commitment to a staggering £21.8 billion since February 2022.

Let that figure settle for a moment. Twenty-one point eight billion pounds. Committed without a single vote on the principle of open-ended military financing. Sustained by a frontbench consensus so complete that it functions, in practice, as a cartel against dissent.

While the Treasury empties the coffers for a conflict with no defined exit strategy, the stark reality of our domestic neglect is laid bare. Investors in Western Ukraine are currently pressing ahead with the GORO Mountain Resort, a $1.5 billion luxury ski development featuring twenty-five hotels and an infinity pool.

Meanwhile, back in the UK, the residents of Bolsover have just seen their long-promised sixth form provision stalled in a "review" of the school building programme. It is a bitter irony: our government can find billions to subsidise a war zone where luxury resorts are being built, yet it cannot provide a basic A-level education for children in a Derbyshire former mining town.

After nearly four years, hundreds of thousands dead, and over $88 billion in international support mobilised through the World Bank alone, the working people of the Donbas are no closer to a settlement than the working people of Hartlepool are to a functioning high street. Both populations are paying, in different currencies, for a conflict whose primary beneficiaries wear suits, not uniforms.

While we fund the front lines of a foreign proxy war, the front lines of our own communities are being left to rot.

It's 1873 and a Broughty Ferry resident writes a very wordy letter to the editor of the Dundee Advertiser complaining about barking dogs keeping everyone awake at night.

[Nina @ShakeLS]

Charles and the Pedophile Priest he defended fiercely. Reading about Poor Charles and his bad bad brother who is giving the Royal family a bad name while the rest knew nothing, let's remember the time when Prince Charles supported a bishop convicted of molesting more than a dozen young men, 18 was the number. Peter Ball, the former Bishop of Lewes and Gloucester, who was convicted in 2015 of sexually abusing 18 teens and young men. Here is what Charles wrote to him, totally ignoring the victims.
"I feel so desperately strongly about the monstrous wrongs that have been done to you and the way you have been treated. It's appalling that the archbishop has gone back on what he told me, before Xmas, that he was hoping to restore you to some kind of ministry in the church. I suspect you are absolutely right — it is due to fear of the media," Charles wrote, in one of the many letters exchanged during their two-decade correspondence."
Charles not only supported the pedophile priest but send character letters about him to the police and bought him a house to live in. After he was condemned and convicted and more young children talked, suddenly Charles was "missguided and misled". See their pattern? They never knew, always zero accountability or any kind of touch with reality. Charles blamed the victims in his letters.

[UNN @UnityNewsNet]

Cyril Smith was a Liberal MP in Britain for decades.

He was child rapist, abuser and likely murderer.

Everyone in the British Parliament knew about it.

144 complaints against Smith from victims as young as eight years of age were made.

Attempts to prosecute him had been blocked.

Public authorities including Rochdale Borough Council, the police, and British intelligence services have been implicated in covering up Smith's alleged crimes.

He died facing no punishment.

This is the British Establishment.

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

In case you're wondering if King Charles is equipped for this moment of crisis, here's a reminder that he:

- travels with this favorite childhood teddy bear
- takes his own toilet seat and custom velvet toilet paper everywhere he goes
- sends his own bed and mattress to be assembled ahead of all trips
- has his shoe laces ironed
- makes his butler "squeeze exactly 2.5 centimeters of toothpaste" onto his toothbrush for him
- throws “temper tantrums” if his pajamas “aren’t perfectly pressed”

Reform have gained one of the greatest minds of all time and this timeless classic is now all theirs.

It is simply impossible that people this stupid should be allowed to govern, no matter which party they run off to when they’ve destroyed their own.
