🏆 Clydebank have been drawn away to @TheFulshie in the first round of the South Challenge Cup.
The winners of the tie will play away to Livingston United in round two.

We're grateful to our friends @SaintMirrenFC / @StMirrenAcad for allowing us the use of their training ground at Ralston while Holm Park was renovated this summer.
A big thanks to @Cleetis1711 for arranging, best of luck for the season ahead! 🏁

An incredible achievement - the first British wild card to reach the final four at The Championships 🇬🇧

We made Rage Against the Machine Xmas No. 1 & voted to name a £200m research ship "Boaty McBoatface".
Don't underestimate Britain's talent for rebellion.
Farage isn't anti-establishment. He IS THE establishment.
So, in a battle of trash vs trash, let's vote @CountBinface
Nigel Farage talking about feeling unsafe.
Has he forgotten that nurses that were attacked after he called for ‘cold hard rage’?
Has he forgotten the families who were trapped in hotels terrified for their lives after he invoked the Southport riots?
"Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket."

.@northumbriapol John Flowers Roofing Contractors, Washington are breaking the #Wildlife & #Countryside Act AGAIN.This time at Lulworth Ave, South Shields where they've been throwing live #swift chicks in nests into skips. Someone should be made to pay the price for such cruelty.
Did you ever notice the @RSPCA_official advertising in Scotland? Well they do not operate in Scotland. Any money sent to them is spent in England and Wales. If you want to donate to animal welfare, send it to @ScottishSPCA who operate solely in Scotland. @Channel4
They call it GB News to make it sound patriotic.
It’s owned by Australians.
It’s based in the Dubai tax haven
It’s managed by New Zealanders.
The only British bit are the fools watching.
Andrew Marr: " The Commons rules are very clear and they forbid face coverings "
Count Binface: " Well the Commons rules are very clear about what you can do with donations , but that seems to have got all murky so why can't I see how the line can get tested ? "

🚨 We have fined Virgin Media £28 million after finding systematic failings in its contract cancellation process.
Millions of customer calls were deliberately mishandled, creating unnecessary barriers to switching or cancelling.

" Nigel Farage is a privately educated former City broker , who has been a member of the political class for 30 years. He's a multi millionaire , he's got 5 properties. His party is funded by a billionaire. He couldn't be any more establishment could he ? "
#newsnight#farage
Nigel Farage's Clacton constituency has around 98K people. About 78K are registered to vote, around 45K voted, and just over 21K voted for him.
Clacton is one of the oldest and least ethnically diverse constituencies in England and Wales, with 96.1% of residents identifying as white.
It is also one of the poorest areas in the UK, with around 64% of the constituency considered "impoverished"
This is why he thinks it is a safe seat for Farage because Instead of addressing years of underinvestment and communities being left behind he can just blame immigrants for people's struggles and says he's not part of the establishment and he's on their side.
Just as Cottrell's mother laundered money through Tice's company, Farage's new billionaire squeeze Ghandehari laundered money to Reform through a sham design company. That, inter alia, is what I reported to NCA last year.
This isn’t just about Clacton.
This is about standards and rules.
Clean politicians don’t resign after a few days of moderate press scrutiny into their finances.
In fact, I’m not sure any other MPs have.
He’s a corrupt piece of shit.
Govt says England water companies flouting environmental rules face fines of up to £500,000.
It is propaganda. Why a cap?
Fines are proposed, have been deferred and waived.
Company licence to operate not cancelled
No fines on execs for illegal conduct.

Oh the irony. Virgin now proved to have been screwing the nation over broadband, and stopped people fixing. Nice to see Ofcom showing teeth with the fine. Lets hope that starts a trend.
