Vanilla Ninja!

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

Why is it that Leicester City FC did not have the name of a sponsor on their jersey when they played against Sheffield Wednesday this weekend? @josimarfootball.bsky.social might have an answer for this. josimarfootball.com/2025/07/21/r...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Screen grab from the Times (London) Katharine Birbalsingh has criticised schools for failing to give pupils "a sense of British history” White guilt drives schools' diversity push, Birbalsingh says. 'Britain's strictest headteacher' says children are given no sense of our history and should be learning algebra not looking at each other's differences

“The focus on diversity came at the expense of more important subjects, the 51-year-old headteacher said. She was aware of one independent school in London, which she declined to name, that had "abandoned all Shakespeare" in favour of teaching "the great works" of Panti Bliss, an Irish drag queen and gay rights activist.”

This is the second time this woman (“Britain’s strictest headteacher”) has claimed there’s a secret school in London she won’t name that has replaced Shakespeare with me. It’s complete bullshit of course but why’s she so obsessed with me
