Rarely mentioned but about much of Ratcliffe’s business ‘success’ is based on draining public money (very common among these ‘self made tycoons’)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

FYI, this post by DM owners, Reach is full of fake scam ads using your image and that of Sally Nugent too. Ironic considering it is about QR code scams.

How many games have LFC dropped/lost points in injury time. 10-12? Joke defending again. We were crying out for another quality defender back in August. The club have known that Gomez’s lower torso is made of twiglets. Slot is on thin ice now. I’m beginning to lose faith in him. Really poor.

Don Van Vliet aka Captain Beefheart died #otd 17th Dec 2010. He's pictured outside the Bluecoat gallery in Liverpool at the opening of an exhibition of his paintings in 1972. Beefheart's connection with Liverpool grew via his friendship with DJ/promoter Roger Eagle.

This is what true patriotism looks like!
A sad middle aged man, puffed up to look like Rod Stewart & an immigrant himself, eating ‘English’ grub in an Islamic country whilst slagging off the UK, Islam and migrants.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.
