Dear David,
We wanted to let you all know that Slavia Prague have asked the Club to remove the Progress flag from the North East corner for tonight's game. They've said they have security concerns on their side if it stays in place.
The Club pushed back but Slavia have held their position. As with any visiting team request of this kind, the Club is honouring it on safety grounds.
We are of course frustrated. You don't get to come to our house and dictate what's acceptable, let alone kick off about a flag that represents our own community. But here we are.
We wanted you to hear it directly from us. We wanted to be sure that you know that this is an opposition team request and no reflection of the Club's commitment to the Proud Lilywhites.
Love and Solidarity
Proud Lilywhites Committee

I'm in social housing (Housing trust) and I'm immensely grateful to have it. Husband a stroke survivor so we're low income. The silver lining is that if anything happens to us, the house goes to our son (once he's living here). He considers himself lucky, most of his friends are in similar situation

More than 9,000 children in Gaza hospitalised for acute malnutrition in October, UN says Aid agencies say Israel is still restricting their aid shipments despite ceasefire announced two months ago Malnutrition continues to take a toll among Gaza’s young despite a ceasefire declared two months ago, with more than 9,000 children hospitalised for acute malnutrition in October alone, according to the latest UN figures. While the immediate threat of famine has receded for most of the 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza after the ceasefire announcement on 10 October, the UN and other aid agencies report continuing Israeli restrictions on their humanitarian aid shipments, which they say fall well below the needs of a population weakened and traumatised by two years of war, homelessness and living in flimsy shelters.

I managed to swipe this from Twitter and downloaded it (from a search) and sent it on whatsApp to my 28 yr old son (that lives with us) with the caption "How to put on a masterclass of amateur management on an epic level". It's appalling and shameful.
