A quick fire Flood double was added to by a Brash goal in a dominant first half. When a second half Thistle resurgence was quelled by a Gallagher penalty save a calm Jones finish minutes from time capped a fine performance.

Aaaarrrggh…..Spaun-ny barsteward 🏌️‍♂️

What a final two rounds of golf from Bob McIntyre, but it just wasn’t to be 😞

Our new President Trevor Longhurst becomes only the sixth person to hold the position, the longest serving of which was Jim Robertson who held the post for 27 years before Ian McGinty followed him for a further 12 years and oversaw the transition from Junior to Senior football.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

At BUCSC we’re building a healthier Blackburn through sport, wellbeing and shared community values. From football to inclusive activities and wellbeing groups we’re proud to be a hub for connection, support and growth - on and off the pitch 🖤🤍🖤

Remember the heady days when ‘Turkey joining the EU’ and ‘We’ll be forced to join an EU army’ were used to frighten people into voting to isolate ourselves and make ourselves infinitely more vulnerable. How Putin must have laughed at our idiocy.

A terrific second half come back that started with a stunning Daryl Meikle strike from some twenty yards culminated when captain James Mildren knocked home at the back post after the hosts couldn’t clear a corner kick.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

Never forgotten, forever young 💙

An open letter to the BBC Dr Russell Jackson, senior lecturer in communication and public relations at Sheffield Hallam University, writes to the BBC about Question Time

With Farage back on Question Time last night...

...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.

And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

0.08% expected growth by 2038 a CPTPP 0.08% by 2035 - Australia deal 0.07% by 2035 - Japan deal 0.03% by 2035 - NZ deal MINUS 4% - long term loss of growth caused by the Brexit that enabled these ‘wins’

Just a reminder of what trade deals “with the rest of the world” have done for us compared with what we have lost and continue to lose…

When your own robot thinks you’re a prick you have problems

A poor and irresponsible government is one that deliberately fails to acknowledge the harm that is being inflicted upon us and refuses to rectify previous mistakes that, by reversing them, would be of enormous benefit to all of us.
In fact, it’s a gross dereliction of duty.

Only once I get my first genuine ‘there is no’ will this place truly feel like home
