Strange that there is no award for Lou Macari in the New Year’s honours. Again. It's so wrong. Macari deserves to be honoured not only for services to football but especially for services to the community and tending to the homeless in Stoke-on-Trent. He embodies everything an honour should be about – compassion and humility. “There are people waking up in the cold, in a doorway, no job, no breakfast, no lunch, freezing, no evening meal," Macari told me last year. "Sleeping rough is horrendous and I thought I can do something.” And he did - building a home for the homeless, giving them a place of their own, giving them respect, love and hope. @LouMacari10 saves lives. Btw huge credit to @stokecity players, staff and fans for their winter coat donations to @MacariFDN this Christmas. Football cares.
#PostOfficeScandal Great piece in @PrivateEyeNews Annual about Paula Vennells, ex CEO of the @PostOffice
The Conversion of Saint Paula‼️
And lo, in those days there was a great preacher and holy woman. And her name was Saint Paula. And she did travel the land, persecuting the innocent men and women who believed in the Office that was called Post. And this continued for many years as she zealously sought out the blameless and the vulnerable and did vent her wrath against them, even unto sending them to prison.
And she looked upon her works, and proclaimed them to be good, saying unto TED in a talk, “I have achieved miracles. I am the chosen one to lead the Post Office into the promised land of abundance. And my reward will be on earth, where bonuses shall fall from heaven, like manna. And she was hailed to be a great profit.
But then it came to pass that Saint Paula that is called Vennells was travelling on the road to Aldwych where there was to be a public inquiry into these matters.

Robert Gros made £27m profit selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.
RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.
It was great to have Gary Lisbon join us in Australia to share some of his secrets of photographing the world best courses.
He has recently published the magnificent ‘Great Golf Courses of the World’ book.
To WIN A SIGNED COPY, just LIKE this tweet, RT for 2 entries!
Michael Matheson claimed £11,000 in dodgy expenses, but then paid back the lot, and he has still resigned for the good of the SNP.
Meanwhile Michelle Mone owes £232,000,000 hasn't paid back a penny, yet is STILL in the House of Lords.
RT if Mone needs to go.
An 'independent inquiry' carried out by Michael Gove's minions, will find that the Conservative Mayor of Teesside commited no corruption when he sold £120m of public land to his mates for £100.
Like if this is one HUGE lie.
RT if we need a proper investigation.
Lots in focus group on #bbclaurak wanting our @MartinSLewis as Prime Minister if they had a choice.
He doesn't want the job "rather wire my nipples to electrodes "😂
But I think he'd be ace having proper input with next govt 👍🏼👍🏼
Remember that all the rightfully deserved compensation is being paid by YOU.
Fujitsu who caused the errors, they‘re not paying a penny, in fact they sued US for £700m for refusing to give them more contracts because of this.
RT if Fujitsu should be made to pay.
With The Post Office scandal, the sewage dumping scandal, Thames Water going bankrupt, the worst and most expensive Railway in the world, and the highest energy costs in the world.
It's time to accept that privatisation just doesn't work, and it all needs to be renationalised.
When Barrowman says his PPE Medpro £60m was "fully disclosed on his tax return" that absolutely doesn't mean he paid tax on it. The Isle of Man lets you cap your tax liability at £200,000. So it would be surprising if he paid a penny of tax on it,
The "truth" this statement misses: Barrowman lied about his connection to PPE Medpro. The company and its directors probably committed a criminal offence in not disclosing that Barrowman controlled it. Barrowman plausibly committed an offence himself.

For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.
When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.
At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.
