Ok, so, I want to tell you about the great Johnny Barnes.
John Barnes was born in Jamaica in 1963. His family moved to England when he was 13. He played for Watford and Liverpool, won numerous trophies, 79 caps for England and was twice named Footballer of the year.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

If you're tired of the biased BBC don't forget to tune in to GB News to watch shows hosted by Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson, Matthew Goodwin or Jacob Rees-Mogg. 🤣

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

Me: All right, time to focus. Lots of work to do this afternoon on the book and other brain-intensive activities.
My Brain: Hey, remember that really ignorant thing you said twenty-five years ago? How about we run that on a loop for a while, instead?

Was really struck by what a lovely inspiring exercise this is, like a primary school version of Mary Oliver’s Instructions for living a life
Pay attention.
Be astonished.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

My grandfather lied about his age to join up before the start of WWI. He fought at First Mons, was gassed and at the Somme was seriously injured and invalided out. He made poppies, led protests at the conditions at the RBL poppy factory in Richmond. He died in his fifties. War casts a long shadow.

Alongside the British war dead, especially my own family members, this Remembrance Sunday I shall remember all American liberators but especially these African-American liberators.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

As a lawyer I'm seeing a lot more redundancies in 2025. I can't stress this enough, if you are being made redundant - GET A FUCKING LAWYER. I keep hearing of people getting unfair consultations and being ripped off in their redundancy packages. We would have spotted them for you.

Trump can’t even check on someone collapsing in the Oval Office right in front of him.
What makes you think he would give a damn about your health care?
