So @andyburnham on a labour government’s watch this annual report which lists the 1000’s of deaths of learning disabled people including children(& most of them avoidable) is being scrapped. Not because the problem is solved but because it’s getting worse. Who cares though right?
Look how they have romanticised this headline. Woman dies days after her partner is found dead.
Only when you read the article does it tell you Zoe Marie Dixon was bludgeoned with a hammer by her partner and it took her 6 days to die in hospital
He ran off and killed himself
@GWRHelp I have tickets for long journey tomorrow that I booked from a station ticket office. Am I able to get a refund if I go into the station or do I have to claim online? Thank you
Breaking: The WSL2 club Durham have announced they will have to "cease operations" unless they can find an investor or a buyer within the next 21 days, because without fresh investment they do not have sufficient funds for next season. #BarclaysWSL2
Not having this discourse that the Premier League’s physical and mental exertions mean conservative football has to be a given when we’ve actually experienced the opposite. The style is absolutely a choice.
Manchester City and Liverpool were involved in the most exacting, no-margin-for-error title races but still played ridiculously good football. Pochettino’s Tottenham were a marvel too.
The 2018-19 Champions League was one for the ages:
Tottenham 4-4 Man City quarter-final
The Spurs 3-3 Ajax semi
CORNER TAKEN QUICKLY in the most insane comeback
What about the intensity of that LFC-MCFC quarter-final in 2017-18? And Liverpool beating Roma SEVEN! - SIX! in the semis.
2021-22: Chelsea 4-5 Real Madrid, Benfica 4-6 Liverpool, City 5-6 Real Madrid
The list goes on.
For so long it was held against both PSG and Bayern that they wilted when it mattered in the Champions League because their domestic seasons were a walkover. They didn’t have tough games to prime them. We can’t pick and choose narratives when it suits.
This isn't the nicest tweet to have to write but a necessary one.....
The Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield is a special place of remembrance for the 97.
It's a place where many of us find comfort and a chance to be still. It's place that many bereaved families now bring our children and grandchildren to educate them and, for children like my own, it is 1 of the very few places that they have to feel close to their grandad.
This week, I took 1 of my sons to see the memorialat his request, and whilst reading tributes, he spotted a little glass Hennessy bottle filled with ashes.....he thought it was in some way connected to his Grandad. I then had to explain that the bottle was an alcoholic drink, the ashes were not connected to us, and that many fans and loved ones want to be left at the ground when they pass away.....
The point of this tweet is to respectfully ask that people do not leave ashes on the memorial.
The memorial is for the 97, and whilst we completely understand and have empathy for those who pass away and their loved 1s, it is somewhat uncomfortable to see it becoming a shrine for ashes.
Yesterday, there were over 20 little trinkets full of ashes and yet there are signs asking people not to leave them there.
I appreciate that bereaved loved ones will only be honouring the family member lost whose wishes were likely to be that they would like to be left at the ground, but please - not on the memorial.
It's not really a conversation any of us should need to explain to our children and grandchildren, and there have been incidents where it has been distressing for some of the family members of the 97.
It's also not nice for the club staff who have to remove them.
Again, I'm saying this with the utmost empathy, understanding and respect, but the look of horror on my sons face when he thought the Hennessy bottle was in some way connected to our family has driven me to need to address the issue.
Thanks so much for understanding.
Floral tributes are more than welcome ❤️
