The oldest named train in the world first appeared in the timetables in 1848 and remained there for 154 years until the Grinchs at Virgin Trains dropped all train names in 2002. Royal Scot No 46127 Old Contemptibles is at Chester with the service on 2 August 1951.

The boycott of #Eurovision highlights the football issue. #FIFA & #EUFA allow #Israel to be
In the European confederation, à political move after they were expelled from the Asian confederation. A sporting boycott played a part in bring down apartheid in South Africa, should apply to Israel as well

#FIFA give a ‘peace prize’ to the Orange Satan who is currently busy murdering Venezuelan fishermen. There is no sewer too rank down which #FIFA won’t crawl if there’s money in it for them. The finest of sports is governed by the most loathsome of administrators.

So, we're now expected to believe that the people who covered for Johnson's corruption, the Covid mess that killed thousands, party gate, openly supported Liz Truss and insisted that Brexit was a good idea, are now telling us dishonesty is bad #Newsnight

There’s little doubt #Brexit has been a major impediment to the #UK economy. Even elements of the mainstream media are beginning to acknowledge this. I wish #Labour was more vocal on this to explain why we’re in the mess we are and offering a way out of it. A new #Swiss style deal offers promise.

Urban fox in north London, a beautiful animal not giving a single feck. It even posed for me though there was a sturdy fence between us. Every time I see one, I think of the psychotic toffs who derive pleasure from hunting them down and allowing packs of dogs to tear them apart.

We found incongruously, in the middle of Epping Forest, a seafood cafe serving food as good as anything you’d expect to find beside a Mediterranean beach.

Just having a look at my Fantasy Football team and half the squad seem to have picked up knocks over the International break. Premier League Managers must absolutely detest international football.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Let us hope the public remember these findings at the next election and finally excise the cancer that is the #Tory party, forever. Is there any political equivalent of corporate manslaughter? #Johnson and his cabal need to be held to account for what they have done.
Covid inquiry: Lockdown could have been avoided and other key findings
The long-awaited report is published into how well or badly the government handled the Covid pandemic.

I was a bit apprehensive about Hansen playing at full back, he’s just scored two 7 point tries under the posts in the first 10 minutes, which goes to prove I know nothing about rugby.

Squeaky bum time in Shropshire’s Irish ghetto after the ominously good England performance at Twickenham earlier. #ShouldertoShoulder

www.bbc.com/news/article... Police and crime commissioners to be scrapped in England and Wales. Never saw the point of them, a waste of time and money. Hardly anybody voted for them, a #Tory PR stunt when they were actually cutting police numbers. Well done #Labour
Police and crime commissioners to be scrapped in England and Wales
The government says it will save £100m over this Parliament and less than 20% of voters can name their PCC.

The man with the job of enforcing impartiality at the BBC is former head of comms to a rightwing Tory prime minister. Let's leave it there, OK?

So #Tory Tim has been forced to resign from #BBC. The editorial issues involved don’t retract from fact that #Trump and his followers did attempt a coup on 6th January. Looking forward to the same degree of scrutiny being applied to #GBNews and the right wing press.

Some good news from America at last, Mandani wins in New York. This is really going to annoy the man baby in the White House. It’ll be interesting to see how he reacts.

Wayne Rooney was a great player, then, a not very successful manager and now a football pundit, a pretty awful pundit. All the broadcasters are actively promoting him. He seems to be on virtually every channel every other day. I’d rather he wasn’t.

It’s not been a great few days for the railway network, first #Huntingdon now a derailment at #Shap which will probably affect the WCML for days. Sympathy for all staff and passengers involved in the consequences of these events.

The #Labour government isn’t perfect but it’s a thousand times better than the #Tory regime which gave us austerity and compounded this with #Brexit, the root of the UK’s economic problems. The poisonous negativity from the press, #BBC and #Sky never relents, it’s not too late to revive #Levisson

Halloween is the ancient Celtic/Irish Samhain festival marking the onset of winter. Immigrants must have taken it to the USA where it was transformed into the nonsense we have now which was returned to the UK as a commercial opportunity in the last 20 years. The original version was better.

Now that the issue of #RachelReeves and her house has been resolved, I’m looking forward to the attention of the press switching to the circumstances surrounding the house acquired in his constituency by the MP for Clacton. I cannot understand why it hasn’t got more coverage.

Re Andrew, a colleague in publishing, whose family had links to royal circles, told me years ago he was extremely promiscuous. This came back to me when the Queen paid off the late Virginia Roberts, whom he'd never met, allegedly. The royals aren't the heros in this, they were part of the cover up.
