SK Roeselare's Schiervelde or the nest as it's known.
Only in Belgium would the mascot have a beer.

It’s mindblowing that Heseltine - one of Thatcher’s key Tory lieutenants in the 1980s - is the one being outspoken (and correct) about Reform in 2025. It show how far we’ve gone when the right wingers of the 80s look like socialists compared to the likes of Farage & Co.

1. ECHR is nothing to do with EU.

2. I’m sure the Right will love this rare political quote from the Queen.

Football ground of the day.
Torrent CF in Valencia. This had the feel of an old fashioned British ground. A friendly and well supported little club. Well worth a visit.

I’m just gonna leave this here. When it speaks for itself, why try to add more clutter? This is succinct and on point as is!

This has to be widely publicised and reform have to be challenged on this nonsense. Local services are already cut to the bone. FFS Kent had a Tory council since time immorial. They weren't known for spending anything.

I see the Daily Mail have gone in 2 feet on Neville today, questioning Sky Sports if they should be associated with him as a brand. Keep it up Gary, you're upsetting all the right ppl.

Very funny and interesting. Parallels with my own left leaning parents so I found myself laughing out loud on the train to Liverpool yesterday.
At least it meant the 'Nigels' (Palace fans stayed away).

I have never understood how people can claim to be Christian and deny people their rights. I realised it was all a show and that they don't believe in it really.

Nigel Farage has no idea how to be a prime minister The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

Orwell wrote: β€œIn England all the boasting and flag-wagging... is done by a small minority. The patriotism of the common people is not vocal or even conscious.” Someone tell Reform, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.

They would make hundreds of billions from this.

That is what they want.
