I strongly believe this incredible man should receive the Helen Rollinson award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2026
What Archie has achieved while undergoing active treatment for brain cancer & campaigning for change - is truly astonishing.
A true hero.

It’s a damn disgrace that an innocent man who represented America in multiple Olympics and did nothing wrong was arrested and charged with a federal crime by hack Jeanine Pirro solely because Trump doesn’t want to admit he fucked up the pool with his usual incompetence.
BREAKING: Trump's Epstein cover-up runs out of room as a judge orders Todd Blanche to personally deliver him the unredacted Epstein files!
Journalist and attorney Katie Phang's Epstein files lawsuit just paid another dividend. Today she told podcaster Aaron Parnas that the federal judge overseeing her lawsuit against Acting AG Todd Blanche just sent a message the Trump Justice Department won't enjoy hearing: "Show your work."
Phang explained to Parnas why she believes Saturday's court order is far more significant than it appears at first glance.
"So far, my lawsuit against Todd Blanche has been successful on every step," Phang said.
"This particular order speaks volumes about kind of generally what this judge thinks about the merits of my case, but also speaks about how the Trump DOJ just doesn't have credibility anymore."
The order directs Blanche to appear in court by Thursday with specific, unredacted Epstein files, emails and other documents. But Phang said the real significance isn't simply the deadline.
According to her, Judge Emmet Sullivan is requiring Blanche to do something the Justice Department apparently hoped to avoid.
"He has to show his work," Phang said. That means Blanche can't simply tell the court the redactions were appropriate. He must bring documentation supporting every decision to withhold information from the public.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Phang said the primary legal basis for redacting material is protecting victims.
She noted that both Blanche and Attorney General Pam Bondi have already acknowledged the files do not involve classified information or national security concerns, leaving victim protection as the central issue the court will examine.
"Judge Sullivan telling Blanche that he has to prove what he's claiming," Phang said, "I think is a bad sign for somebody who wants to be the Attorney General of the United States."
That may be the most important takeaway from Saturday's order.
Rather than accepting the Justice Department's assurances at face value, Judge Sullivan is requiring the department to produce the unredacted records and justify its redactions with evidence.
In other words, the court isn't simply taking the DOJ's word for it.
For critics who have questioned the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, that represents an important shift.
If the Justice Department wants to keep information hidden, it now has to explain precisely why. By Thursday afternoon, Todd Blanche won't just be dragging himself into court.
He'll be bringing proof – finally!
A white woman called a Black child a nigger, raised $750k in a week, and was invited to speak at a “Freedom of Speech” rally called the 'Nigger March.' This is a reminder that racism and hatred are still very much alive and well in America.
Poilievre is a creepy fucking asshole who doesn’t give 2 fucks about Canada. He wants power so he can bring USA style politics to Canada. Destroy our healthcare, make abortion illegal and shit all over our LGBTQ. And then go after legal immigrants just like Trump does. No thanks.
In conversation with Scotland’s Archie Goodburn.
Who delivered a powerful interview in the wake of his 50m breaststroke final. He received terminal brain cancer diagnosis two years ago.
And he keeps fighting. What a champion. Will post the interview.
‘MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME’
He’s 25 years old and was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. That hasn’t stopped Scotland’s Archie Goodburn from chasing his dreams.
He’s competing at the Commonwealth Games. And I won’t forget our interview.
