@FFCVoice OR.... there is a different way of seeing this - he has no intention of going and he is using every tool he can to get everything he wants from the club which in all likelihood chimes in with what we want too. There is a more positive way of viewing this I think
@MrSammyJames Agreed. It felt like the tonic I needed. I wish that people realised what goes into putting something like SNL together (My other half makes it!) It’s brutal & wonderful. Creative & brilliant. Won’t always land but that itself needs embracing! So proud of the team
I don't have much to add to the discourse surrounding Starmer's Visit to Washington yesterday.
We're so unused to serious, credible politicians in the UK that his performance looks as though he was wearing a cape and his pants on top of his suit.
In reality … he did his job. He did it well, and took the heat out of any potential gotcha moments; when JD Vance tried to corner him on free speech, he countered and, ultimately, made him look a bit silly.
I haven't seen any retraction tweets from Trump this morning, so that's the litmus test. Starmer has passed his vetting.
The letter from the King was a shrewd move. Whilst, to some it seemed sycophantic and, well cringe, in actual fact, it was pure theatre. Designed to pander to the president's need for powerful attention: home run.
When you are a serious political player, you surround yourself with seriously smart people, and you listen to them. Badenoch needs to take a leaf from that pamphlet before her next podcast appearance.
The planning was obvious. Every question or statement answered with a quiet sense of understated authority. Starmer took his time and never appeared rattled.
You can love him or loathe him, but you must start to respect him now as a proper Prime Minister - of the type we've lacked for some time.
Today, there will be the usual suspects talking down his body language or using shortened clips to make him seem weak - you know who they are. The GB News cabal, Talk TV syndicate, the Mike Grahams of this parish. But even they know, really, that their words are hollow this morning.
It feels slightly discombobulating to realise that, at last, the grown-ups seem to be back in charge.
In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.
Adolf Hitler, a CONVICTED FELON, rose to power as Chancellor of Germany in 1933. He cleverly positioned himself as the voice of the “common man,” railing against the elites and the establishment.
To solidify his base, Hitler masterfully scapegoated minorities for the nation’s problems, exploiting societal divisions with an “us vs. them” narrative. It’s almost as if dividing people and stoking anger can serve a political agenda—who would’ve guessed?
Once in power, he wasted no time dismantling democratic institutions. Loyalty wasn’t just encouraged; it was demanded. Opponents? Silenced. Media that dared to question him? Vilified as “the enemy,” naturally.
But hey, history is just history, right? It’s not like anyone would fall for something like that again.
@GoldyFulham55 @FulhamFC It’s the timing more then the pricing. It’s freezing cold midweek in Jan when no one has any money And kids only went back to school a couple days ago. I suspect even if it were a tenner it would be empty…. Criminal to put games like this on a weekday night IMO
Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
Please don’t RT
I once contacted @jessphillips out of the blue for advice about a woman I was trying to support who had fled domestic violence. I emailed her at 7pm on a Friday night not really expecting a response. 1/2
Canny imagine how Luke Littler’s parents feel. The pride of seeing your 17 year old son become world champion. I nearly burst out crying when my 17 year old emptied the fuckin dishwasher without being asked.
It is absolutely insufferable watching a load of men who've never spoken a word about the protection of women and girls from sexual abuse suddenly decide that today they care about it.
Ok this is a bit harrowing but we do need to talk about it.
You know this whole “why did the police ignore grooming” thing in the 2000s?
Well I was a kid in the 2000s. I was born in 1996. And I want to talk about what society thought about “girls making bad choices”
🧵
The irony...
Remember Harvey Elliott and a £450,000 offer that went to a tribunal? Same with making Carvalo's head turn. @FulhamFC fans will have no sympathy for Liverpool being fucked over like they do to everyone else
He'll be sat on their bench next season too 😂😂
Heartbreaking news for the Fulham Family.I was lucky enough to know Zach. The bravest, sweetest kid you could ever meet. Tragically he has lost his 3 yr battle with leukaemia.
Let’s get a 13th minute applause going this Sunday for one of own! Pls share and let’s make this happen
