For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

So appears I'm not liked by at least 1 senior govt adviser.

That's a badge I'll happily pick up off the floor and wear with dignity and honour. Here's a hint. Sort out the water industry, fix our rivers and you need never speak my name ever again.

Massive thank you once again to Patrick Galbraith @PaddyGalbraith and all at the @Telegraph for the coverage and support.

Two things need to happen after this World Cup.

1. Destroy FIFA and replace it with something better.
2. Remove the 2028 Olympics for the USA.

The racism, the ad breaks, the support for fascism

It's a disgrace the only thing Infantino and Trump should run is the prison kitchen

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

9 years later not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell.

But they can lock up people who inconvenience a Genocide for 24 years because they are 'terrorists'.

The UK is a sick place and Justice is only for the rich to use against the poor.

Journalist Janine di Giovanni:

"If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine,
Europe calls it a war crime."

"But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

Welfare breakdown:
50% pensions
40% people IN work & that will go up when they force people into any job
10% unemployed or sick or disabled
Seems they have decided the 10% must be punished instead of forcing companies to pay a decent wage so the 40% don't have to claim anything

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

The result of the dirty trick that Judge Johnson's was allowed to play on the defendants, jury, the legal profession & anyone who still believes in justice - is that judges are dishonest & can't be trusted.

Please RT this until this travesty of justice is rectified.

Thank you

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

[patrick holleran @pat11060]

The Filton 4 ruling signals a direct breach of core principles of UK justice

juries decide facts, judges sentence only on what juries actually convicted.

This judgment breaks that line and that’s why so many lawyers are calling it a constitutional threat.

What this moment means for justice in the UK
Across every major legal source reporting today, the same pattern emerges this is unprecedented, constitutionally dangerous, and signals a shift toward an authoritarian model of criminal justice.

A judge has overridden the jury the foundation of British justice

Multiple reports confirm that two juries refused to convict the activists of any terrorism related or violent offences, yet Justice Jeremy Johnson has ruled they will be sentenced as terrorists anyway.

This is exactly what senior lawyers describe as “recategorising the offence without a trial” a direct violation of the principle that you cannot be punished for an offence you were never charged with and never convicted of.

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

A Miscarriage Of Justice sentencing Palestine Action Activists as terrorists. They Are Not. British Jews serving in IDF are the terrorists but no prosecution against them. Never forgive what Labour Party has done.

We must fight the evil power Israel & Zionists hold in Britain.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.

Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.

A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

The royal family is supposedly a tourist attraction. So is Legoland, but that doesn't mean it deserves an annual £90m subsidy from the taxpayer. #AbolishTheMonarchy

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.

Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.

A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.

It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.
