I like words. Long words. Words that sound good. Made up words. Pleasing combinations of words. Grammar is for losers. I like other stuff too like geekery, travel, photography, allotmenteering, food/cookery/baking. I blog at https://Whitemore.com

What next? Guaranteeing a minimum wage for chimney sweeps?

The BBC news report this morning portrays this as entirely the fault of the current government.

The right wing editorial policy is so obvious it's laughable.

isn't it great how twitter wasn't the real world when people there said left wing things, but it's the soul of the people now they're all nazis

Maybe depends on the opposition but for me Clark has earned a starting spot.

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 2d

Clark is not a destroyer but he gets about and is a better ball player than Adams and Travis. Really played well. Johnston superb also, covered crazy distances, hope not out for long. Clarke and Ozoh imperious as ever. Good performances all over. More good things to come #dcfcfans #dcfc

Such a solid performance. We nulified them and took our chance. Well deserved #dcfcfans #dcfc

This is so typical. I've yet to stay in a hotel designed for humans. Lighting always inadequate & needlessly funky. Just returned from London where for £200 per night I had to collect my own fresh towels and take room rubbish to the street bins each day

3) growth of what? For whom?
4) problems due to inequality more than £. How will growth reduce inequality?
(2/2)

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 3d

1) the money is there now
2) if labour articulated clearly defined NHS/homes/etc objectives and explicitly tied growth to these objectives then fine, but they haven't. We are left to assume they will magically get better with "growth"

Spot on. The labour mantra of growth (whatever that means) is figuratively and literally irrelevant to the lives of most people who just want a home, accessible health care, a functioning society and a hopeful future.

... and when they change course guess which direction it will be in

We're hearing it in Caerphilly today. We've heard it a million times before.

Under PR, we could just vote for whoever we support - and every vote would count. Sounds better, doesn't it?

Royalists are always banging on about the ceremonial role of the royal family and how they have no actual power. And here we are.

Farage will doubtless claim he was always in favour of staying in the EU, never campaigned for Brexit and - LOOK, A MIGRANT - and all the major media outlets will seamlessly move on without challenging him

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 6d

Crazy suggestion but... Morris has the game to play in MF. Holds the ball up, wins challenges, can pick a pass. We could start Salveson up front. Don't think JE will do this but nobody else fits the profile

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 6d

Crazy stats. He was everywhere

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 6d

I sense JE has been trying to find out how to set a first XI up with players missing or unfit and a creative hole in midfield. He's had to give ideas a chance and often it hasn't worked. Hopefully with Langas back the way forward is clearer #dcfcfans #dcfc

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 6d

Don't be fooled, he was terrible. Best thing you could do is sell him in January.

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 6d

We know we are lacking in MF. We're going to be out of posession a lot. If we can set up to get the best of our forwards we'll score more than we concede. 3 at the back next match. No Adams makes Saturday a challenge - any suggestions how we deal with this? #dcfcfans #dcfc

We need that! Plenty of poor things but we started to do the good things too. Could have scored 3 2nd half. Clark, Sanderson and Langas immense. Another assist for big Pat. Deserved the win for showing character #dcfcfans #dcfc

Never lose your optimism #dcfcfans #dcfc 😀

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 6d

Optimism is a choice. It's obvious we are 2nd best but we have more talent than the team is showing and while it's 0-0 we're in this.
