INJURY !!!

Godwin's law is utterly broken now given that we are literally seeing a rerun of 1920s/30s Germany.

This crap is the same model as the Nazi Brown Shirts (Sturmabteilung), all the reprobates and hooligans coming out to support the party that gives them free reign.

Two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse Police data indicates overlaps between public violent disorder and domestic violence and abuse

In "Legitimate Concerns" news.

41% of the 899 arrested for taking part in Farage Riots last year had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence.

For those arrested by one police force, this figure was 68%.

A Profession, If You Can Keep It Imagined meritocracies mean little to extractive institutions.

"This 'burnout' that secure scholars are feeling is phantom pain where their colleagues should be."

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal?

PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard!

They stopped being progressive in 2002

The 20 UK universities where the most students stick with their studies Lots of students staying on after the first year can be a good sign 🎓

You will be shocked to learn that universities that disproportionately recruit from independent schools and higher socio-economic groups are less likely than universities that recruit from less favoured pupil populations to have high student drop-out rates in year 1. Shocked.

We beat Port Vale

INJURY !!!

Is that what Rodin based the Thinker on?

Unless it’s a Brom tattoo. Them they worship you.

Yeah. I think it’s the reference to Yakuza who had tattoos. Having a tattoo was therefore frowned upon. But it’s possible the younger generation have them more these days?

BBC Radio 4 - File on 4 Investigates, Hell and High Water: Are we ready for the floods? Is enough being done to protect people from flooding?

Here's a programme I made recently for Radio 4 that might be timely...

"Are we ready for the floods?"

What a numptitious idea.

Next up: “ hey guys, how cool would it be if we scrapped relegation? You wouldn’t have to worry about going down each May. It would cut the heartache”.

I’m beginning to think Starmer won’t last the term.

“ A million percent” doesn’t exist.

Typical fascist grift.

They will when they are bobbing up and down in flood water.

I don’t want her sort of growth. Her maths isn’t good at all.

A tweet from Lisa Nandy from 15 May 2018 and still live (though the screenshot is because I expect it will be deleted soon) asks After the horror of recent days, why are we still selling arms to Israel? and shows a video of her raising this question in the House of Commons. When it suited her career interests to pretend to care about brutally murdered Palestinians.

And we won 5-2 away there, so in reality we’re world champs.

That will go down well…….not.

I was at that. 7,400 or so there. 1-0 ( Nicky Cross). We’d dropped from 5th at Christmas to looking over our shoulders. Sunderland dropped that season.

pub quizzers identify the nuances the rest of us can only dream about.
