When Duncan Ferguson got home from Everton’s game at Watford in January 2001, it was around one in the morning and he was still too full of adrenaline to sleep.

His wife Janine had gone upstairs.

Their daughter Evie was six months old and asleep in bed.

Ferguson stayed on the sofa in his tracksuit bottoms, waiting for himself to calm down after the game.

Ferguson had heard a noise somewhere in the house, but had not thought much of it.

When he heard it again, he stood up and saw two shadows moving through the conservatory.

They were trying to leave with some champagne, a picture and a collection of CDs.

Ferguson went straight after them.

One of the men escaped immediately.

The other stayed and tried to fight him.

Ferguson knocked him to the floor and kept hitting him until Janine came downstairs and saw what was happening.

“Stop it, Duncan, stop it!”

“You’re going to kill him!”

Ferguson looked down and realised there was blood everywhere.

Only now, the anger had gone and he thought the man was dead.

He rolled him onto his side, cleared the blood from his mouth and tried to bring him round.

“Are you all right, son?”

There was no response.

Janine stood nearby asking what she should do.

“Will I phone the police or an ambulance?”

“Both.”

The police arrived first.

One of the officers took a look at Ferguson and the man lying on the floor.

“What have you done, Dunc?”

“Jesus, go and clean yourself up.”

The paramedics managed to revive the burglar before taking him to hospital, where he remained for three days.

By the morning, Walter Smith already knew something had happened.

Ferguson phoned him at eight o’clock.

“Boss, I’ve had some trouble.”

“Yes, I know.”

“You’re ringing me early in the morning.”

“Boss, a burglar broke into my place last night.”

Smith only had one question.

“How bad is he?”

The two men were eventually caught and jailed for 15 months.

The judge told the court that Ferguson may have given the impression of being a hard man, but the break-in had left him shaken because his wife and young daughter had been upstairs.

Janine no longer felt safe in the house, so the family moved to Formby.

Two years later, another burglar broke into their new home.

Once again, the champagne was being taken.

This time, the man came at Ferguson with a vodka bottle.

Ferguson ducked and caught him with a right hand.

The burglar went down and Ferguson returned upstairs.

“You’ll never guess what’s just happened.”

Janine knew immediately.

“You have caught somebody again.”

“Yes, and I’ve left him to crawl away.”

Janine told him to go back outside and check because the man might die.

He had only managed to crawl a few feet.

Ferguson called the police and an ambulance again.

The burglar spent two days in hospital with a broken jaw and three missing teeth.

“Everyone has a right to protect their home and their family.”

“Any intruder deserves what they get.”

Next time you hear the Tories ask where the money is coming from for things like bus fare subsidies and VAT cut on electricity bills, remember the £10 billion they pissed up the wall on useless PPE.
Including £122 million to keep one of their own in unimaginable luxury.

[Summerisle @LairdSummerisle]

HMRC now threatening 'side hustles' like selling used clothes, yet this is completely immoral and illogical.

Selling used clothes isn't income. It's a partial refund of already taxed income on an item on which VAT was charged.

Income Tax is fast becoming a transaction tax.

Spain’s players refused to celebrate with Trump after the U.S. president attempted to insert himself into the middle of their victory photo. He was politely pushed aside.

Trump just refusing to leave when they’re lifting the trophy.

Infantino desperately trying to get him to move.

Circus.

One of my favourite Falklands facts:

When the referendum was held in 2013 about whether they wished to remain British or become part of Argentina only 3 people voted for Argentina.

There were 18 Argentinians living on the island at the time…

#Middlesbrough stand to make almost £35m in profit from the sale of Morgan Rogers in Jan 24… 20% of profit for #AstonVilla’s £117m sale to #Chelseafc adds a further £20.3m to intial £15.5m sale. They paid #ManCity only £1.1m for him and he played for #Boro for six months. Unbelievable business: https://t.co/bi47pihnCK

Maggie Thatcher sold British assets at a knockdown price to the rich. Who then charged them back to us at an exorbitant rate.

Thatcher is the root of all the rot around us today. War zone roads, sewage in rivers, lack of housing. Cruelty and nastiness.

A lifelong worker will receive a £12,550 annual pension. However, MPs and Lords get approximately £11,000 per month.

We’re being mugged.

We should demand an itemised rundown on how an app - track and trace - cost £29billion:
What did it involved. who got paid and how much they got paid.

@horrormuseum From what l can remember critics loved it and gain a good cult following!!

[Hollywood Horror Museum @horrormuseum]

In 2005 there was a UK TV show called NATHAN BARLEY

Critics hated it, viewers hated it.

20 years later, people finally realize how brilliant it was in foreseeing just how stupid our culture would become.

Pitch black dark, extremely funny. Highly recommend!
