Brilliant footage (1989) of when the AC Milan fans sang "You’ll Never Walk Alone" as a tribute to the 97 Liverpool fans who died at the Hillsborough disaster. Absolute Class.#LFC#YNWA#ACMilan@AC_MilanFR@acmilan@acmilanar@acmilanbr
Lorry driver from Hull does every check, finds stowaways in the back after he’s already in the country, does the right thing and phones the police, then Border Force can still hit him with up to £10,000 per person
Driver and firm can both get done
A few in the trailer and you’re looking at tens of thousands. Leave the trailer unsecured and that’s another £6,000 on top. Call it in and you get billed
Keep quiet and they treat you like a smuggler, open the doors and let them run and you risk prison - Meanwhile boats come over by the hundred and the RNLI gets clapped for a “rescue.”
Same Channel, same arrivals, different rulebook
Working men get a five-figure fine for reporting it while the state ferry service gets a pat on the back
That is not border control - That is two-tier Britain, and they know exactly what they’re doing

George Michael and Lisa Stansfield singing ''These Are the Days of Our Lives” at the Wembley stadium in tribute to Freddie Mercury will always remain incredibly perfect🤍 Such a magnificent duet they both sounded so good
In December 2001, just three months after the September 11 attacks, Elton John appeared on “Live by Request,” an A&E special where viewers called in live to request songs. Among the callers, a woman shared that her husband had been one of the first responders to die at the World Trade Center, and that “Rocket Man” was his favorite song.
Elton, visibly moved by the request, sat down at the piano and began playing that 1972 classic that everyone had heard a thousand times before. But that night, in that context, the lyrics about loneliness and distance took on a completely different weight.
Sweating and with his voice breaking on every note, he managed to completely silence the audience for the four minutes the song lasted.
George Michael & Queen. 'Somebody to love'. Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, April 20, 1992.
The power, the control, the soul. The stage mastery 👑⚡️
Nobody could have honored Freddie Mercury quite like George Michael did.

Police officers, Army veterans and the public came together in Redcar to pay their respects to PC Tom Clough who was killed on duty in a crash on the A66
“Rebel Yell” was written by Billy Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens for Idol’s second studio album, *Rebel Yell* (1983). The title came from a party at Ronnie Wood’s house in New York, where Idol saw Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Wood drinking Rebel Yell bourbon. He liked the name, asked if the Stones planned to use it, and when they didn’t, he took it for himself.
The song became the defining collaboration between Idol’s punk attitude and Stevens’ inventive guitar work. The first recorded version was scrapped after producer Keith Forsey decided the tempo was rushing, and the band recut the whole track at a more controlled pace.
The album was released in 1983 and the single followed in early 1984. It became one of Billy Idol’s signature tracks and returned to the charts in 1985, when a UK reissue reached No. 6 on the Singles Chart.
