Such is the way Matthias' photos were cropped in B-sky's formatting that I thought they'd dug up Enoch Powell for a comment. Then I remember we have our 2025 version of 'noch.

How can you tell from someone's skin colour whether they are integrating? 🤔

This is a lovely piece. Friend of mine has been going to Como games as he has an apartment there - become quite a place for star spotting

Cesc Fàbregas on the bench.

Keira Knightley in the stands.

A €2,600 matchday package by the lake.

Como 1907 is turning luxury into a football strategy. Not one for football purists, but few locals are complaining. Me for @tirofootball.com .

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Some televisual observations:

Season 3 of Squid Game feels like a final hurrah. I'm only 2 episodes in, but...

Also, How Are You, It's Alan (Partridge) also feels like a struggle. I loved This Time. But not sure about this one... albeit only 1 episode in. Does it get any better?

In Chicago ICE goons drag children out of bed, ransack apartments, later tear gas protesters, arrest more, attempt to make an arrest in a hospital.

And British politicians like Bad-Enoch and Farage and right wing newspapers see this and want to replicate ICE here!!

Maniacs.

‘F--- them kids’: ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building

It’s the most egregious abuse of our basic rights as Americans I've seen in a long time, maybe in my lifetime,” says Chris Hayes.
