It feels very Kane Williamson to retire with no notice, no fanfare, no final match send off. One of the most understated legendary players of his generation, and an all time NZ great, who led his team to becoming World Test Champions. Stellar in every way.

I just love the idea that after presumably coming out to her community, doing IVF and raising two children with her non-Muslim, tattooed, lesbian life-partner, the woman in question remains committed to full Islamic modesty dress

To mark the 150th Test match at Lord's, all England's former living captains were invited onto the pitch for a special event.

Some legends here 😍

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

James Milner has announced his retirement from football. Congratulations on an incredible career, James ❤️

Blimey! Ireland are playing Afghanistan at cricket in August. Given the absolutely brutal treatment of every woman in the country, there’s going to be one helluva protest isn’t there!

Why not build it back after this unfortunate 65 year hiatus?

A new study found films were more likely to star a man named Chris or a talking animal than a woman over 60.

Without a doubt, the greatest Liverpool player in my lifetime. Thank you Mo!

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.

After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

This pub in Lancashire—in a village called Lydiate, just 9 miles from Liverpool—was built in 1320.

Today I learned that I could stand for UK elections as a Singapore passport holder.

This is ridiculous. I would never want to do this. I should never be allowed to do this.

Of the three dirty letters, I believe the “I” in D.E.I gets the least pushback.

There has been too much inclusion. It is time for Britain to exclude. Exclude foreign passport holders from political power. This is self-cucking on an industrial scale.

It makes no sense that after Britain dissolves its empire, granted independence, and kept the Commonwealth going as a fun club with flags and games… it has to unilaterally disarm its own political sovereignty by welcoming Commonwealth citizens to vote and stand for UK elections? What is this, a one-way empire?

So the Commonwealth nations keep the upsides while the Brits get all the downsides?

Demographic pressure, integration failures, rising costs, parallel societies, remittances flowing out, and now elected officials whose primary loyalty are elsewhere.

What a postcolonial racket this is

Happy 100th birthday to Mr BBC himself, Sir David Attenborough! Alongside his wonderful natural history programmes, he commissioned Monty Python, saved Match of the Day and pioneered televised snooker.

It’s a shame it’s so expensive to build things that look like these do, because it would be cool to have more like them.
