Ofcom: stop TalkTV broadcasting hate TalkTV is Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News for the UK – a constant source of toxic hate and far-right lies. Over the last 11 weeks, TalkTV has been spouting transphobic hate again and again – totally ignorin...

TalkTV is airing attacks on trans people without broadcasting the views of those who support trans rights. Call on Ofcom to take action:

Great to see that the FA are working with social media platforms and the police to deal with the vile racist abuse aimed at Jess Carter. Let’s hope 55 year-old divorcee Dave, currently kipping in his dear old mum’s spare room in Bexley gets his 15 minutes of fame. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Like an academy player going back to play for fun at his old secondary school.

Photos from our 20th Anniversary photo exhibition, ‘Boots on the Ground’ by local photographer and SMP parent Ellie Laycock are now at home in our Brockwell Park base. ⚽️📸

The Royal Family celebrates Pride Month with a performance of Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.”

Just received advice from Norton Security about Spam phishing emails. They often contain noticeable grammar mistakes, awkward phrasing, or misspelled words, which essentially describes the current POTUS's social media posts and speech.

Coming on here from Twitter is like witness protection. It’s safe and sound but there’s no one to talk to. 😀

Dear oh Lord. If there is any country on Earth that needs a regime change, it is the USA. 😩

This Club World Cup could not be more of a Mickey Mouse competition had Mickey Mouse scored for Bayern himself.

Great turn out at Ferndale Sports Centre, Brixton yesterday for our 3v3 girls’ football tournament in partnership with the FA, with 37 players involved. Congratulations to our old friends Broomwood FC from Wandsworth on their win!

Urgent appeal to Brixton blood donors NHS Blood and Transplant today (2 June) made an urgent appeal to the people of Brixton to book blood donation appointments and help replenish falling stocks. New and lapsed donors were encouraged to make an appointment. There are 686 appointments available this week at the Brixton donor centre; 1,000 slots need to be filled each week to meet demand. The NHS said the current donation shortfall has been caused by a high number of bank holidays coming in quick succession, combined with the start of the half-term break.

A lovely day yesterday in Brockwell Park as we came together again to remember former Saturday Club member and SMFC player, John Ogunjobi, who tragically lost his life aged just 16 to knife crime. John would have celebrated his 22nd birthday this weekend.

Day 73 in the Bluesky wilderness, but how refreshing to check on the world without all the hate, racism, Islamaphobia, anti-semitism, grievance, genocide supporters, flag-shagging trolls and Tiny Tommy Robinson and Trump arse lickers. 👍

What a season for south London. ⚽️🏆

After 19 months, at least 61,000 Palestinians killed, a third of them children, thousands of people missing under the rubble, presumed dead...the penny finally drops.

Whilst it was the moral thing to do to leave Twitter, posting something on here is like sticking your head out of the window and shouting at a cloud.

Congratulations and a huge well done to SMFC U16s on their London County Saturday League cup and league double in their final season together! ⚽️💙🖤🏆🏅

Imagine if Man. City, in one of their worst seasons, finish runners-up in the league and FA Cup winners while Arsenal achieve a third-place finish.

Only in Lambeth.

Roots and Berries chain to replace the longstanding Lucio's cafe in Brockwell Park, seriously? Exactly what everyone expected, an out-and-out middle class cafe pricing out practically all the families we work with. Afternoon tea for two at £48 anyone? @brixtonblog.bsky.social

A commemorative plaque to the victims of the Brixton nail bombing. It reads: TO COMMEMORATE THE VICTIMS OF THE BOMB WHICH EXPLODED AT THIS SITE ON SATURDAY APRIL 17TH 1999. "A Community Under Attack will not be Divided. Together we are Strong." BRIXTON BOMB VICTIMS APPEAL COMMITTEE 10th November 2000.

Police survey the damaged Iceland shopfront in the aftermath of the nailbomb explosion.

Tonight we remember two weeks of terror in April 1999 when a neo-Nazi set off nail bombs in Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho.

26 years on, our community commemorates all those killed and injured in the blasts.

We remain strong and united against those who wish to divide us.

You flag concerns about a young child’s behaviour to all relevant agencies; raise further concerns about their mental health through their adolescence. They end up in a gang because birds of a feather flock together. Then they get killed and everyone focuses on the murder weapon.
