I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Almost certainly not. Trump's crowning (only) achievement.

A perfect illustration of how two contradictory positions can be true at once.
Nick Clegg is right.

I like Raheem and I hope he finds somewhere to satisfactorily wind down his career. But there is ZERO reason for Leeds to even consider this is there? We don't even use the wingers we already have now!

I'm sorry but having immigration controls and a working system for processing arrivals is VERY different from making horrific, dog-whistly speeches like Starmer's Island of Strangers bullshit.
And one of the reasons people feel so threatened by immigration is no one makes a positive case for it.

Heysel was about a month after the Bradford disaster. And on the same day as Bradford, there was the horrific riot at the Birmingham v Leeds game in which a 15 year old was killed.
A game I very nearly went to.
Football, in particular, was *wild* around that time. You took your life in your hands.

Weirdly, I've just had some content related to the Bradford City stadium fire punted in my direction on YouTube. And how horrible - and yet horribly familiar - the footage looks. That period was *riddled* with routine tragedy and horror - and they showed all of it, pretty much unedited, on the news.

It is genuinely astounding how Reform, Labour and the Tories have decided to fight tooth-and-nail for the votes of the same 30-35 percent of the electorate and completely ignore everyone else.
