YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

In Homer’s Odyssey, Circe lives alone on an island. She is skilled, intelligent, self-sufficient. Men arrive at her door expecting hospitality and dominance. Instead, she gives them wine laced with magic and turns them into pigs.

For centuries, that transformation has been read as punishment. The dangerous woman. The emasculator. The seductress who strips men of power.

But look closer.

Circe does not hunt men. They come to her. They enter her space, consume what she offers, assume control. And suddenly they are revealed as what they already are—greedy, impulsive, ruled by appetite. The spell doesn’t create the pig. It exposes it.

What terrifies patriarchal storytelling is not that Circe is evil. It’s that she is autonomous. She lives without a husband. She commands knowledge traditionally coded as forbidden—herbalism, potions, transformation. She controls who stays human and who does not. She negotiates with Odysseus as an equal once he proves he cannot be easily subdued.

For women, Circe becomes a mirror.

She represents the fear society projects onto women who refuse submission. A woman with boundaries is called cold. A woman with power is called dangerous. A woman who refuses to soothe male ego is branded monstrous. “She turned him into a pig” becomes shorthand for “She took away his dominance.”

But there is another reading.

Circe is not destroying men. She is demanding accountability. She is the embodiment of consequence. Enter her world carelessly, and you will be transformed by it.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

@officialbantams This sounds like a great opportunity both for the club and the city! 🫰🏻👍🏻

[mick cox @bcfccoxi]

@BantamSilver @leecrotty2 Parker had him signing for us at close on Monday, good luck to the lad, needs to be playing.

[mick cox @bcfccoxi]

IMO we have had a good transfer window, brought in 2/3 to improve the first 11 (Mullin, Jackson, Ashby) and got better quality backups whilst offloading those with limited game time prospects. #bcafc-(https://t.co/fetSFDTgoD)-(iptv)

Fucking prick

My son spent 6 months in Iraq, and then two 7 month tours of Afghanistan with the Royal Marines

He fought hard in Sangin saw friends die, or be maimed. He bears scars of his own, and he did it because the USA triggered article 5

Risible, amoral fucking bastard

🚨SOS Iran. Day 13 black out. We need action. Immediately. UK and European Union: put the IRGC on list of terrorist organisations. France, Italy and Spain: we are looking to you. The only way to avoid war and be rid of the regime. 90M Iranians are counting on you.

@reluctantnicko Glasner to Spurs, Frank to Palace?

[mick cox @bcfccoxi]

@LeagueOne25 It was exactly the same for Cardiffs penalty claim in the first half, as a Bradford fan I thought it was a fair decision and showed a consistent approach from the ref (pretty rare). Good game from two good sides, not much in it, Cardiff certainly are the best team we’ve played.

[mick cox @bcfccoxi]

@haveigotnews Respected 🤣🤣🤣

[mick cox @bcfccoxi]

@AccyGaz With the exception of Halliday these players are not getting games, as we progress we will need better options both in first 11 and deeper squad. There is a danger that having unhappy players in the camp disrupts the team spirit. All go with best wishes &thanks, we move on.

BREAKING: Thousands of BRAVE IRANIANS are once again taking to the streets tonight in the heart of Tehran in their uprising against the Islamic regime.

14th night in a ROW.

The media is ignoring this - MAKE IT GO VIRAL.

Share this EVERYWHERE.

[nejat.bahrami نجات بهرامی @nejatbahrami]

Look at these scenes.
The people of Iran are being massacred by the Islamic Republic.

Do not offer hollow slogans—come to their aid. Not only for the sake of the Iranian people, but for your own sake as well.

@officialbantams Good luck Patto, far too good for league 2 hopefully he can get a run of games and shake of his injury curse.
