@pcooke06 If ever a guy transcended myopic club loyalty its John. As a Trinity fan I'd love to claim 'ownership' of this fantastic human being, but I can't simply because as a RL fan I can accept that his loyalty and love of the game transcended mere club loyalty.
RIP John๐ฅ
@CatharineHoey BBC news output on both radio and TV is anti-Labour and pro-establishment...its stuffed with Tory party sycophants or have you got a short memory.
@RabbiRomain Hardly an independent review, he's a fully paid up member of the genocide supporting regime that weaponised antisemitism to stifle criticism.
The light is further dimmed in the #rugbyleague press box with the desperately sad loss of the wonderful John Kear. Ever engaging, encouraging, erudite and a font of knowledge. Always magnanimous in his incredible wins and a wonderful story teller. We'll all miss him terribly.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of legendary coach and broadcaster John Kear!
As a club, the whole of Wakefield Trinity would like to pass on our thoughts and condolences to his wife, family and friends during this time and join the Rugby League family in saying he will be dearly missed.
I was a prison officer, Nick. You can't preach "tough on crime." Your lot cut nearly 7,000 prison officers since 2010 and handed our jails to G4S and Serco. You broke the system, then act shocked it doesn't work.
You know what actually works? Lads out on licence getting their track tickets, learning a trade, coming home as taxpayers instead of reoffenders. That's using human capital, not warehousing it. A lad sat in a cell doing nothing helps nobody.
And funny how quiet you all go on the tax dodgers and the oligarchs bankrolling Putin's war. Boris took a Russian ex-KGB man's hospitality at his Italian villa, dodged his own officials, then made the son a Lord. Where's your "lock them up" energy for that?
