We wouldn't usually claim to speak on behalf of every #nonleague club in the country, but for this one, we reckon we're covered.

The World Cup is played in billion-pound stadiums, with ticket prices many can only dream of affording.

But football survives because of places like your local non-league clubhouse.

This summer, if you're looking for somewhere to watch a game, pop down to your local club. Every pint bought, every scampi fries sold and every pound spent helps keep football alive at the level where communities are built.

Support local football. Support local people.
C'mon England!

Belfast knife suspect won asylum in Britain under 'fast-track' scheme introduced by Tory UK govt.

Then home secretary Suella Braverman & immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme.

For anyone unaware of the Belfast riots, thinking this is an Irish revolution then watch this young lad break it all down.

Know who the rioters are!
Loyalist = Loyal to 🇬🇧
Republican = Irish 🇮🇪

These rioters will be burning our flag 🇮🇪 in a few weeks!

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

In 2023 Indonesia refused to give the Israeli U23 team visas.

FIFA instantly stripped them of the tournament and moved it to Argentina.

Strip the USA and move it solely to Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

Marco Van Basten:

"We want to see football but we are forced to watch someone sing with dancers. UEFA and FIFA are trying to make money with a football match. Keep this stuff away from us, we want to watch a football game."

Absolute scum how does setting buses on fire have anything to do with immigration?

I hope they get a long, long time in jail.

Sing along if you know the words

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

November 1971. Chiswick, West London.
Erin Pizzey is 32 years old. She is not a lawyer. Not a politician. Not a doctor.
She is a woman who talked Hounslow Council into lending her a cold, rundown building on Belmont Road — a former community hall — for almost nothing. Her original plan was modest. A warm room. A cup of tea. Somewhere for mothers with young children to simply get out of the house.
Then the door opened.
A woman stood in the entrance. She was covered, head to foot, in bruises. She was holding two small children. She was shaking.
She didn't want tea.
She needed somewhere to hide.
Erin let her in. She didn't turn her away. She didn't tell her to call the police.
Because Erin had already called the police. They told her the same thing they told every woman in Britain at the time: they could not enter a private home over a "domestic dispute." That was the law. The home was private. What happened inside it was a family matter.
When Erin contacted a female civil servant to report what she was seeing, the response was astonishing. The woman told her flatly: "There wasn't a problem of battered wives until you made one."
Erin put down the phone. Then she went back to her residents and made sure they were fed.
Within weeks, 40 mothers and children were sleeping in four tiny rooms. No funding. No staff. No legal authority.
She didn't stop.
By 1973, word had spread through quiet whisper networks — one woman telling another, "There is a place. Go to Chiswick. She won't turn you away." That same year, Erin hosted the first National Women's Aid Conference in the UK. Women from across Britain arrived, and they all recognized the same thing at once: what she had built needed to exist everywhere.
In 1974, the council set a maximum of 36 residents. At peak times, 150 women and children were living inside those walls — sleeping on floors, on chairs, in hallways. The building smelled of cooking, fear, and something else entirely: relief.
Erin was taken to court for overcrowding. She appealed all the way to the House of Lords.
She kept the doors open the entire time.
That same year, she wrote a book. Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear. It was the first published account of domestic violence in British history. It used real stories from real women inside the shelter. Overnight, a problem that had no official name was on front pages from London to New York.
The movement spread. Refuges opened across the UK. Then Australia. Then Canada. Then the United States. The pattern she created in four small rooms in West London — no blueprint, no permission, no funding — had been replicated in hundreds of shelters across the Western world.
MP Jack Ashley stood up in Parliament and said: "It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical."
She was ranked 14th in a poll of the 100 women who shook the world. She was awarded the Italian Peace Prize. She received a CBE. The charity she founded — Chiswick Women's Aid, which became Refuge — grew into the largest domestic violence charity in the United Kingdom, with over 460 employees and an annual income of more than £33 million.
Erin Pizzey passed away on October 4, 2025, aged 86.
She never stopped.
It all began with one woman, one borrowed building, and an absolute refusal to say no.
Forty women and children showed up with nowhere to go.
She made room.

Share this if you believe one ordinary person, refusing to look away, can build a shelter that holds the whole world.

Mick Lynch repeatedly humiliates Reform UK's Laila Cunningham

She then accuses Mick Lynch and Labour of spreading lies to "win the argument" denying that Nigel Farage wants an insurance-based NHS

Here are two clips of Nigel Farage saying,

1. He doesn't want the NHS funded through general taxation

2. He wants an insurance-based system for the NHS

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Does this look like someone who is "anti-establishment"?

Farage is, literally, part of the establishment.

Never Vote Reform

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

So let me get this straight:

When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.

When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.

Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?
