The other broader issue is that we must embrace and look after our young white men - not a popular idea with many of the drips of BlueSky, I know - instead of telling them theyโ€™re shit (yet somehow privileged) and then wondering why theyโ€™re scooped up by the extreme fringes.

We have slapped them out of town before. Leeds is a Remain city full of all kinds of people. There are enough of us to stop this before it starts again.

I wonder if they, as back in the โ€˜80s, are trying to recruit from within football - and from lads who dont really know who they are but are desparate to be something. Call this shit out at ER if you see it.

It is very clear that this Leeds United is a very close unit. Iโ€™m sure they have their moments but they all seem to be there for each other. It counts for a lot.

Not the best yesterday but itโ€™s cool to get through to round 5 (thereโ€™s a round 5?!). Now weโ€™ve got to keep cool heads over the next two difficult games imo. The gap may shrink but itโ€™s going to widen again once Feb is out. 2/3 wins to make sure? Weโ€™ve got this.

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is โ€œthe most urgent public health issueโ€ while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.

The Silence of the Lambs is 35. Itโ€™s one of my favourite films for lots of reasons, but I particularly like its relentless use of POV. For 90 minutes you see through the eyes of Clarice, exceptโ€ฆ(1/3)

I know Nuno ultimately left Wolves โ€˜cos of his state of mind, but you canโ€™t say heโ€™s looked better recently. Guy looks positively haunted here. Has for some time.

Years ago, at a highway cafe at the far tip of the UAE (weโ€™re talking Iran visible here), I saw Monkeh in one of those claw machines. I put in dirham after dirham to get him just cos I was so amused at what his journey might have been to end up there. He sits next to my C64.

Manchester United assert โ€˜inclusiveโ€™ values as FA looks into Jim Ratcliffe comments Manchester United took the extraordinary step of publicly asserting their โ€˜inclusive and welcomingโ€™ values after their co-owner Jim Ratcliffeโ€™s comments about immigration

Only thing I have to say on this is that disgustingly rich people never really seem to understand the system that keeps them disgustingly rich.

The problem in our society is billionaires.
