I have, for reasons I can’t understand, read through that ‘Truth’, and struggle to believe that those are the words of a man who doesn’t drink alcohol
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

No cricket expert but a cricket fan. Enough to know “Bazball” doesn’t work against serious test teams.
The Brearley suggestion that the style of play is a reaction against miserable tours under Covid conditions makes more sense the more I think about it (which isn’t much tbh)

I’d sooner trust news reports from retired darts player Chris Mason than that snivelling berk namesake on the BBC
Have a look at the formers Wikipedia entry to see just how wild that state of affairs is…

Mason's misinformation was the top news item for two days. Not a bulletin went by on national TV or Radio in which he didn't put in a shift. Today he is NOWHERE to be found, of course.
The correction was given 25 seconds, at the end of News at 6, "in other news", just before an item about Santas.

I remember Barcelona linking themselves to half our squad during the sanctions when they themselves didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to through it out of. Fuck them. Despite my reservations about team and regime, that was delightful

Chris Mason who, from what I recall reading, was allegedly told by higher ups to apply for the vacant Political Editor job when the interview process was opened up for a second time…

In a rare moment where X added a useful feature, we now have our suspicions confirmed about this piece of work.
Account started January 2023, right about when fans got increasingly angry at Clearlake public utterances and contract nonsense with Mount et al - so slurred certain fans and Mount et al

“Bazball” in “not working against a serious Test team” again is it?
At least Damon Heta can’t rub it in at the darts due to his form being as good as Zak Crawley’s right now

I have kept away from the news recently but just saw the orange yoke make MBS look statesmanlike by comparison. Yeah, the Saudi MBS.
Also, that make up is doing him no favours. Under camera lights he looks like his face needs ironing

Littler vs Humphries as the ‘darts final’ is a pleasure I intend never to take for granted. Both magnificent players and I hope they both stick around long enough to make a lot of archive footage

I’m nearly in fucking tears in a pub in Harrow. A bloke at bar had his phone go off for score alert at 3-2 whilst our stream was a minute behind and I assumed he was taking the piss. Best spoiler ever

I find the state of that pint even more distressing than Jackboots Jenrick’s politics, racism, or attempts to see how much Ozempic it is possible for a human being to take.
