A few thoughts on these alerts.

1. ​The Government should not be using a multi-million pound emergency alert system to tell people not to grill some King Prawns.

​2. Idiots won't be told, that's why they are idiots. Why should smart people who don't need telling have to endure these incessant alerts? Either way it's a waste of time.

3. ​What is the point in an emergency alert system at all? If Putin launches Nukes at us, or the dead rise from the grave and start eating your grandma, I think you'd soon notice. Being told to hoard tinned tuna chunks and toilet paper will be the least of your worries.

4. ​Given these alerts can be turned off in your phone's notification settings, what's the point!?

5. ​Surely the millions of pounds spent on this illogical and badly thought out system could have been better spent on Policing. I realise the Police don't like going outside these days, but sometimes it's required.

6. Why build this system when the taxpayer funded BBC could have achieved similar results at no extra cost

7. ​Why does no one think anymore?

🚨🎙️Ian Wright on how Chelsea got robbed in the Fa Cup Final, multiple penalty appeals turned down by referee Darren England and breaks down the rules behind every controversial incident:

“I don’t care what badge is on the shirt, if that’s at the other end and it’s against Manchester City, people are screaming corruption for a week. Chelsea got robbed today. Absolutely robbed.

The first one on Joao Pedro before halftime? That is not a ‘coming together’. Khusanov doesn’t even attempt to play the ball, he just body-checks him straight through the back. Under the laws, if you impede or charge a player carelessly inside the box without playing the ball, it’s a penalty. Simple. VAR hiding behind ‘subjective contact’ is nonsense.

Then the second-half madness… two penalty appeals in about 10 seconds and somehow none reviewed properly? Doku clips Caicedo while he’s driving into the area, there’s contact, no touch on the ball, and Chelsea players are begging for consistency because we’ve seen softer ones given all season.

And the handball? Don’t even get me started. Enzo Fernández whips the ball in and it strikes O’Reilly’s arm/elbow. People keep saying ‘his arm was tucked in’ but the law also talks about making the body unnaturally bigger and blocking the trajectory of the ball. We’ve literally seen those given in the Premier League this season. So what’s the standard anymore? Every week fans are told something different.

And then AGAIN on Joao Pedro around the 66th minute, Khusanov makes contact from behind as Gusto’s cross comes in and Pedro goes down. Once more, no urgency from VAR. No referee sent to the monitor. Nothing.

That’s three huge moments in one cup final. Three. Chelsea players were looking around like they already knew nobody was helping them today.

If Arsenal or Liverpool got treated like that in a final, football wouldn’t hear the end of it for months. But because it’s City on the other side, everyone suddenly wants to act ‘calm’ and ‘neutral’.

Chelsea didn’t just lose a final… they got officiated out of one.”

🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Chelsea’s controversial FA Cup Final defeat against Manchester City:

“I’ve watched football long enough to know when a team’s been hard done by, and Chelsea were absolutely robbed today. I don’t care who you support, some of those decisions were unbelievable.

The first incident on Joao Pedro before halftime is a penalty for me all day long. Khusanov doesn’t go for the ball, he goes straight through the man. Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a foul instantly, so why does it suddenly become ‘not enough contact’ inside the box? Makes no sense.

Then in the second half, the one on Caicedo… Doku clearly catches him as he’s driving forward. Chelsea players are surrounding the referee asking for consistency because we’ve seen those given plenty of times this season. VAR had every opportunity to step in and once again nothing happens.

And the handball shout? That’s another one people will debate all week. The ball hits O’Reilly’s arm from Enzo’s cross and I honestly don’t know what defenders are supposed to do anymore because we’ve seen penalties given for far less than that. Every week the interpretation changes.

What frustrated me most was the reaction from the officials. No urgency, no proper review, no referee going over to the monitor. In a cup final, with moments that big, you have to get them right.

Chelsea players looked furious because deep down they probably felt the decisions were never going their way today. Three huge calls, all ignored. That changes games, especially finals.

If this happened to Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, everyone would be talking about it for weeks. But because it’s Manchester City on the other side, people seem scared to really question it properly.

Chelsea didn’t only lose the final today… they were let down badly by the officiating.”

After the Reform Party HUMILIATED Labour in elections, Keir Starmer smeared the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally as “extremist” and banned Conservatives from entering the country.

The people of England’s response?:

If HMRC don’t fine Angela Rayner for not paying £40k in tax

Then they should refund the ££££ in fines they have given to self employed people in this country on modest incomes who don’t have the advice that a deputy PM would have

It is insanely unfair.
