Thatcher used the working-classes' own money to bribe them into voting to destroy their futures, and the Tories have been worshipping her for it ever since.

Itโs why I wrote this the other day. There are a huge number of โtruthsโ around every transfer because there are many competing agendas. There are also very few facts. NUFC arenโt saying anything publicly because they donโt want to burn bridges with Isak. www.nytimes.com/athletic/652...

๐จ BREAKING: Newcastle make a โฌ75m+โฌ5m bid for Benjamin Sesko
Club-record offer. Newcastleโs tactic has always been to get a quick agreement with Leipzig in the hope #MUFC canโt or wonโt match it.
There isn't any glue that can hold Sheffield Wednesday together now.
No manager.
No backroom staff.
A handful of senior players who are training for free.
No safety certificate sign off for the North Stand.
No pre-season friendlies.
A 3 window transfer ban.
Points deduction inevitable.

Iโm getting big Bury/Macc Town vibes from Morecambeโs mounting misery. Thereโs only one man who can sort this & itโs their owner Jason Whittingham, whose antics have already killed off Worcester Warriors. Not too late to do the right thing this time.

The midday deadline has now passed. Morecambe fans can only sit and wait to see if their club has been saved, or been given a stay of execution, or if this really is the end...

1. Lowball offer that's immediately rejected & leaked in the media.
2. PIF wring their hands at the thought of upping their offer for a week or 2.
3. Another club comes in with an offer closer to the asking price & sign the player.
4. Move to the next target down the list & repeat.

Yoane Wissa of Brentford FC during the Premier League match between Brentford FC and Crystal Palace FC at Gtech Community Stadium on August 18, 2024 in Brentford, England.
Brentford have turned down an offer from Newcastle United to sign Yoane Wissa.
A proposal worth ยฃ25million was knocked back but the north east clubโs pursuit is ongoing, while personal terms would be no problem.

I'm deeply bored of this transfer window now. We've got our strategy all wrong imo, it's nice to try for those top top players but we just aren't there yet and get blown out of the water easily by clubs who can pay more for fees and wages.
We lack leadership at the top and boy does it show. #NUFC
The biggest barrier to social cohesion in this country is this: a news agenda framed by a stream of pseudo-research โreportsโ from right wing think tanks with the pre-determined conclusion that immigrants and Muslims are intrinsically a threat to our country.
