30 years ago today, I remember the genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnia, as the forces of darkness and populism gain support in the UK and Europe, I vow to never forget #RememberSrebrenica

The UWCL qualifying round draws happen today but Arsenal, of course, are not involved because they won the Champions League and the team that wins the Champions League (aka the champions of Europe) goes straight into the league phase as the winners and defending champions of Europe.

RMT is devastated to learn that one of their members who was assaulted working at Ilford railway station on Wednesday, has tragically died.
The Customer Experience Assistant for MTREL was assaulted on Wednesday evening and police announced their death yesterday.
