Being on X enables Musk and Musk enables the far right. There is no longer any excuse to be there and people need to leave.

At this point a normal firm would explain its position to the SRA.

Carter-Ruck are not a normal firm.

Trusty will need to be careful as the ref will be looking to "equalise" things as soon as possible.

Can we we make it a rule that if ,after an offence, an opposition player picks up the ball the new mark is from where the opposition player takes the ball. FFS, stop time wasting. #irevsNZ

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP
Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.
Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."
She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."
"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough.
There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

A decent new manager is only one small part of the answer. Fixing the arrogance, incompetence and delusion of the board/executive team is what is really needed.

I think the team lacks self-belief. They took were hoping the transfer window would deliver more talent and strength in depth and it didn't and now they look around the changing room for players who've got the skill and desire to win for Celtic and there's none.

Reform’s Sarah Pochin forced to apologise after claiming adverts 'full of black people' drive her 'mad’ | LBC The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

It’s wild that Jewish β€œfears” of a Mamdani, a progressive lefty Muslim, which are to the point of paranoia and delusion aren’t being treated as Islamophobia. If op-eds were written about a Jewish candidate they way they’re being written about Mamdani it would be anti-semitism.

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability β€” they're not.

A new Parliament should be built in the most deprived part of the UK along with a dormitory style hotel for the MPs (no second Hines again) and it shouldn't move until that part of the UK has been regenerated.

Ukraine’s drones just took out another oil refinery in Dagestan, a munitions plant in Mordovia, and a chemical plant in Bryansk. Meanwhile, Russia targets kindergartens. πŸš€πŸŽ― It's not hard to pick a side when you see the difference. Spread the truth and watch the collapse of the Kremlin.
