🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

We had NHS dentists, and free education, we owned Rail, Mail, Telecoms, Water, Energy, Steel and Ship Building, Social housing was built, and we owned care homes.

All of this was stolen to allow the rich to rob us forever for using essential services.

The brilliant @Feargal_Sharkey sums it up

"The whole industry’s got to go. Absolutely, without exception"

Time to end the privatisation rip off diverting 1/3 OF YOUR WATER BILL into shareholder dividends and debt

Are you listening @DefraGovUK ?

Mick Lynch is just one of those men that has a way of speaking with integrity and with heart - when Laila Cunningham talks about immigrants taking advantage he replies
"We, the British people believe in helping one another through a fair tax system...you believe in making your friends richer"

Hey @virginmedia how come the only part of your service that works consistently is billing?

Posting on here because I have more chance of handcuffing a ghost than speaking to a human employee for help.

Funny, cos when you wanted to sell your service we couldn’t get rid of you!

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

As the Champions League final kicks off today, football fans are being priced out by TNT Sports locking it behind a paywall.

While the PM has politely asked TNT to make it free, I’m calling on the government to change the law and guarantee these games are always free-to-air!
