The irony of receiving an email from Severn Trent Water asking me to conserve water when they lose 400 million litres of water a day through leaks and aging infrastructure. How about stop paying your shareholders and use that money to fix our system that you have allowed to rot?
@ViewfromtheBpod It’s my impression Clarke hasn’t been at his best since he took the captaincy. I’d be interested to see a before and after comparison.
By David Abbruzzes:
This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
Tickets for England v Fiji still available, appreciate any retweets as don’t really want them to go to waste. £60 for both tickets at an unreal stadium!
Nobody will address the elephant in the room. The England cricket team’s decline started after the Hundred was introduced.
Nobody wanted it. Nobody needed it @ECB_cricket
Good morning people how about we all mount a sustained attack on Chris Mason in the same way he attacked Kier Starmer.
We make his tenure at the BBC impossible.
At least we can justify our claims of bias and incompetence.

RT if you agree
Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.
Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until this until he no longer is.
Thank you
