Really think @SkySports should donate a PL fixture to @BBCSport around this time of year as a gesture of good will. Have BBC represent it as a kind offering collaboration between the two. #PremierLeague#skysports#bbcsport
I don't really discuss UK politics on my Twitter but I'm a Belgian who moved to the UK in 2023 to live with my British wife.
Because the UK left the European Union through Brexit, I was unable to just casually move over, so I had to apply for a long-term visa, which is a spouse visa.
For the first 2.5 years, this cost me around 6000 EUR. For the next 2.5 years, this will cost me around 4500 EUR. This includes both the visa application costs, and the NHS surcharge.
After 5 years, I'm eligible for a indefinite leave-to-remain status, which will cost me an additional 3300 EUR.
I have no issue paying this knowing I can live with my wife in this country, and receive NHS benefits, which I've barely used during my time here.
Now this Nigel Farage character wants to abolish the option for an indefinite leave-to-remain and remove any well-fare benefits.
Literally making me choose between living in the UK with my wife without any well-fare benefits, or moving abroad with my wife and taking my UK business elsewhere.
I hope this dude doesn't get elected. 🤷
To the children, students and families from Gaza arriving in Scotland for medical care:
You are welcome here. Our communities will stand by you as neighbours and friends, and Scotland stands with the people of Palestine. 🏴🇵🇸
Women being unable to play games competitive due to their periods is as dumb and dangerous of a take as I've seen in a while.
In my nearly 20 years in esports I've met some of the most calm and logical women, and some of the most irrational and emotional men. I've also had the pleasure of playing w/ one of the GOATs of gaming Hafu who was dominating in a scene made up almost entirely of men.
We need to stop these dangerous generalizations against a group of people that's already struggling to get opportunities in a space that's dominated by men. These types of takes just help to further reinforce peoples biases against women & only serve to reduce the opportunities they receive as a result.
Judge people by their individual character and merit and stop the stereotyping.
Rock Band Enter Shikari on Gaza at the Reading Festival,
"15 years ago I wore a t-shirt on stage with big print which said Free Gaza"
"Back then I was a young man who just learning about this thin strip of land on the eastern Mediterranean"
"I was just learning about a people, the Palestinians, who alongside Jews and Christians have lived there for millena"
"And I was just learning about the state of Israel and how it treated Palestinians as second class citizens, subjecting them to constant intimidation, humiliation, subjugation and forced them to live in what was often described an open air prison - that was 15 years ago"
"We've all seen how f*cking horrific things have got now"
"We've seen the firepower equivalent of six Hiroshina atomic bombs dropped on Gaza in the last two years"
"Ever single school and university destroyed"
"Almost 300 journalists murdered"
"Doctors, killed, maimed, detained"
"Children shot in the head by snipers"
"This is not a tragedy, a national disaster"
"This is a coordinated, mass displacement, mass starvation, an mass murder of the Palestinians in Gaza"
"This is not a tragedy, it is a war crime"
"If you're watching this live streamed genocide on your phone and your heart breaks every day, take strength in knowing you still have your humanity left"
"Enter Shikari would like to express their solidarity with the Jewish people, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, and everyone around the world who demands an end to this atrocity"
"Open the borders and let the aid into Gaza now"
"Stop supporting and arming Israel now"
"Just play music, no politics, play music, no politics. We've had that for 20 years now and we've ignored it. And I'll tell you why"
"To be silent in times of atrocity, is to assist in maintaining that atrocity"
"A great Jewish sage one said: it is not the duty of you alone to heal this world, but you should not refrain from trying"
