For more on the racial/class dynamics that imprison cricket, the most beautiful game but one riddled with prejudices & stereotypes helpful to those who guard its ‘history’ & image (& hoard its benefits) @drcricket.bsky.social’s book Different Class, which I started this morning, is a treasure trove

Wrote something today on the wider significance of the #Ashes defeat - might even be decent?

Let's see if I can find a 'mainstream' home for it.

Why TF would we care about his business…? Did he care about all the SMEs bankrupted by Brexit? Does he feel any anxiety or shame about just how much that stupid idea has cost our country and many of us personally.
No.
He can absolutely do one.

This ludicrous Telegraph piece calls the bonus Labour’s bit.ly/4j2gEwg it was introduced in 1972 by Edward Heath (Conservative) and was worth far more than a week’s pension which was £6.75. It has never been cancelled by any govt (Conservative or Labour) or uprated.
Labour’s Christmas bonus. It’s for welfare claimants of course

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

A message from Virginia’s family:

“Today, an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage."

Virginia deserved better, and while she was still alive.

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.
Lib Dem leader Davey: “The Government needs to block any future contracts with Tesla, and block Musk from being granted a license to supply energy to British homes

“Ministers should make clear that if you are egging on violence on the streets of the UK, you are not someone we can do business with.”

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!
