My wife Bunty & I had the privilege of visiting Nigel Farage in his campaign office during the last election.
He was so lovely & allowed Bunters to take a photo of him (shown below).
There was absolutely no hint of him exceeding electoral expenses & being involved in fraud.

Elon Musk's "Free Speech" for me, not for thee.
Elon Musk has presented X as a platform with limited content protections and an emphasis on what he describes as “unrestricted speech”. Independent analyses of X since Elon Musk’s takeover have found that the platform’s actual moderation practices diverge from its public presentation as a venue for unrestricted speech. While Musk has repeatedly stated that X is committed to maximal free expression, several documented policy changes and technical interventions indicate that the platform engages in forms of content limitation that critics describe as selective or opaque. Researchers at multiple institutions, including the University of Washington and the Center for Countering Digital Hate, have reported that X continues to remove posts, limit account visibility and apply algorithmic “deboosting” to certain users or topics, often without clear explanation or transparent appeals processes. The platform has also acknowledged the existence of visibility filters, though it argues they are necessary for managing harmful or low quality content. Investigations by media organisations have shown that X has restricted or downgraded the reach of accounts across a wide political spectrum, sometimes affecting journalists, civil society organisations and government critics. In several documented cases, users reported substantial reductions in engagement after posting material critical of governments with which Musk was publicly negotiating or maintaining commercial ties. X has not disclosed the criteria used for such downranking, and the opacity surrounding these decisions has led analysts to conclude that the platform retains broad discretionary control over what circulates widely and what does not. Regulatory bodies in Europe and academic observers have argued that these practices amount to a form of selective moderation rather than the absence of moderation. In particular, researchers point to instances in which content critical of certain authoritarian or semi-authoritarian governments appears to have been restricted, while material from state aligned accounts in those same countries continued to circulate without similar impediments. Such patterns have been noted in relation to Turkey, India and China, states where Musk’s companies have significant business interests and where governments have historically demanded compliance from foreign technology firms. X has complied with a number of takedown requests from these governments, even when they involved political speech. While the platform promotes itself as a defender of free speech, its operational decisions reveal a willingness to limit speech when doing so protects commercial interests, satisfies regulatory demands from powerful states or reduces conflict with governments that hold leverage over Musk’s business operations. In practice, this means that speech may be free only to the extent that it does not jeopardise relationships with governments capable of imposing legal or economic consequences.

Fun to see a senior Russian official accessing X through a VPN (because it’s banned in Russia) and the criticise the EU for interfering in a Twitter Poll (when the Kremlin fixes Russian elections and interferes in Moldova, Romania and Czechia just in the last few months)

1 of 4 #scotsfoundedfootball OTD 1882 the International Football Conference was held, in Manchester. Say what now!!?? If anyone tells you that the Laws came into being in 1863, ask them about 1882. Or 1833. Or John Hope. Most books refer to QPFC sending for Association rules from Lilywhites.

2 of 4 This allows people to think that QPFC got the rules only from London. I say this is incorrect. You know that QPFC were arranging games with varying rules against the likes of Hamilton Gymnasium and the original Airdrie. I have no doubt they cast their net wide. Why would they not?

3 of 4 Note the fact that it was in Manchester. Handy for Wales and Scotland but easy now to see the centre of English football shifting to Lancashire. I note that William Pierce-Dix of the Sheffield FA was one of the 2 delegates from England. Marindin was the other! Billy no Mates in da House.

4 of 4 So what? Two delegates united by their opposition. The 3 other countries had been created by the Scottish Association culture. Each nation had a vote. Just nine months after the final victory of the #scotchprofessor England was outmatched, but not outgunned. 1886 was coming down the track.
