Liver TX 2015. Long suffering Forest fan.

‘Manchesterism’, a decidedly undefined term, can be best explained by this clip.

Most things can be best explained by a clip from Yes Minister.

Was asked to look at the first £1m deal by a couple of Forest fans. Having managed to find a few sets of accounts from 1979, applying the revenue multiplier index would result in Trevor Francis's transfer fee of £1m then equating to £173 million today.

This is the crisis everyone refuses to talk about in America.

I work alongside City Harvest, one of the largest food banks in the country.

There are 1.2 million people in New York City who are food insecure right now. Over half of them are children.

We go into the public schools and ask kids why they’re not doing well.

IT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE HUNGRY.

And yet we’re slashing the food programs.

In New York, Hochul and Mamdani held the line, but nationally this is what’s happening.

I’m fine with unequal outcomes, that’s capitalism and it works, but if you don’t create a basic platform of equal opportunity regardless of what family you’re born into or what zip code you grow up in, you’re going to lose the whole structure that made this country prosperous in the first place.

You can’t have capitalism without enough fairness to make people believe the game is worth playing.

@ReissNFFC What's that supposed to mean? You can be upset but half the starting 11 are out and we got stuffed by the better team on the night. If it was the other way around you wouldn't say the opposition was a disgrace. Your summaries are usually spot on. I just dont agree its a disgrace.

How the British monarchy deals with assassination attempts: in 1994, Prince Charles, now King, was shot at during a visit to Sydney, Australia.

He was unfazed, adjusting his cuffs as security reacted.

Season over for me but not for the boys, let’s give everything in these final games, I’ll be supporting the whole way throughout, COYR!!❤️🌳

This essay by @alexolegimas is the best thing I've ever read on why AGI won't lead to mass unemployment. A compelling argument backed up by substantial empirical data.

Joe Cole speaking on why this current Chelsea team really needs experienced players.

He used himself as an example on how Makelele guided him during an ongoing match while he struggled as an AM in his early days at Chelsea and the rest was history.

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea.
Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get?

Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right.
Let me know what you think

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Something has to be done about Citizens United.

Since January 2010 we’ve had unlimited money go to politicians.

Campaign donations are up eight times since then and 36% of all that money is coming from the top 0.1% of the population.

You think those people are donating out of patriotism?

They are buying protection. Corporate tax cuts. No antitrust enforcement. No breakups. No accountability.

And it is working perfectly.

We used to bust monopolies in this country. Teddy Roosevelt made it a centerpiece of American democracy.

The idea was simple — concentrated power in the hands of a few is a threat to everyone else.

We don’t do that anymore.

Not because the monopolies got more virtuous. Because the monopolies got better at buying the people who would have stopped them.

This is not a left issue or a right issue. This is a math issue.

When 36 cents of every dollar in politics comes from a fraction of a fraction of the population — those are the only people getting served.

The rest of us are just paying for the system that ignores us.

Reform Citizens United. Bring back antitrust enforcement. Or watch it get worse.

Exactly what happens at #nffc with Anderson and MGW. Left wing, right back... when they need to get up the pitch and take responsibility.

An important read, free for all now:

Why ticket price rises being considered are unconscionable and how #NFFC can break the status quo of the big clubs while being a moral champion and carrying the legacy of the Rebel City.
