@dieworkwear Black Sta Prest trousers and white socks v. popular in certain English working class youth subcultures in 1970s/80s. Black loafers show off the sock. Much of the look was JA 60’s rude boys but I hypothesise not the socks - English cotton.

@landondonovan Reading v Lincoln City
Everton v Man City
Lincoln City v Bolton

You are an Imp! Tell me I’m wrong!

[Stuart Borthwick @ReggaePolitics]

@NOWSport lots of fans trying to watch Mansfield V Lincoln city, but when we select this match to view it shows Preston Northend versus Millwall. Will this be fixed?

@Fran_Stan A ludicrous affair! He opened up and spent all his dosh just before a big bitcoin crash but more importantly the NFT market went to zero when people realised the art was (a) terrible and (b) worthless

@Chucks001122 @lpoolcouncil @britishlibrary Going back to the topic of the post, is there a particular reason why the tragic events in Southport should lead people to burn down and loot a library in Liverpool?

@edge_nina I thought I’d go back today and take a photograph of the sign for you. Because it is outrageous!

I feel like I’ve been tweeting for years about Jamaican crime, politics and Vybz Kartel. Today begins the start of a new chapter in the extraordinary story of his arrest, trial, incarceration and now freedom.

@ThomasEvansAdur The BBC, especially BBC News, adore Reform, as it’s been wall to wall coverage since Forage’s return. Compare and contrast with their coverage of the Workers Party, who actually have an MP.

@SolarHeavy For me, it's more matter of whether new music exists. My view is that it doesn't.
