football and mayor zihran mamdani
I'm loving Mayor Mamdani's positivity, inclusivity and empathy, rooted in socialist principles, but looking at this picture, and without actually seeing him kick the football, you can tell by his approach that he knows how to play football and kick a ball correctly, so he's gone up even higher in my estimation. A man for all people (unless you're rich, corrupt and avoiding taxes).

care workers visas
I agree with Angels Raynor 100% on this. The care workers l know and work with are excellent, but say they will return to Nigeria or wherever they are from if the requirement for status is increased to 10 or 15 years, and l don't blame them. Then the social care sector will be even more fucked, as no one else wants to do the jobs due to the crap pay.

Working class Reform / Brexit voters, and people who didn't want a black woman becoming president, I'm looking at you.

rupert lowe taking the moral high ground
Calling for peaceful protests after the amount of racist drivel he spews out on a regular basis. It's difficult being more far right, richer and racist than Nigel Farage, but he manages to do easily. He's an evil piece of work.
after belfast, the usual shit stirring bastards are out
It's time the government took a firm stand against the rich and racist instigators of this crap and also started locking up more rioters. A lot of them are probably ex cons anyway so they'll know what they're in for.
the brazil versus united states 'friendly'
Don't know about being a 'friendly' game, as it looks like it all kicked off at the end.

phil silvers in 'top banana'
Looking through some Life magazines from 1951 that l received yesterday (as you do), l saw these adverts for the musical 'Top Banana' starring Phil Silvers. A quick research revealed it was made into a film, and a couple of clicks later, I am now watching it on my TV. What a time to be alive! (although it is pretty crap apart from Phil Silvers, who is always funny).
I then nearly bought a 'Top Banana' t-shirt but managed to resist the call of the madness.

the myth of 'two tier policing'
The myth of 'Two Tier Policing' explained. Not that it will make any difference to the right wingers who are just out to stir up hatred and division. Why let the facts get in the way of being a violent racist or (in Musk and Farage's cases) rich fuckers exploiting the poorly educated and working class (mainly men and youngsters) for their political gain and in an attempt to overthrow a democratically elected government. These bastards know what they are doing, and are backed by extremely rich people and most of the right wing press.
l need a bigger house part 7578393948676758594
Yesterday's post. Old magazines and comics, plus three books. I'm a very sad man who is interested in too much stuff, but who is going to need a bigger house.
the usa trade deficit widens
I really don't think the kiddie rapist Trump realises that this is not something to be proud of. He makes George Bush Jr look like a genius.

the rolling stones 1982 baseball shirt
I tried to buy one of these Rolling Stones baseball shirts after their Leeds Roundhay Park show in 1982, but they were sold out where l enquired, although a mate nabbed one earlier and made me extremely jealous, as l had to settle for a short sleeved version (with tour dates on the back). What a twat, as l'd have looked a lot cooler wearing one back in the day than he did, so l've never forgiven him. Now they are going for silly prices, and l'm an old git. I blame God.

stopping dolly parton's free books for kid ffs
When Dolly Parton letting children have free books is an issue for you (an initiative that has been hailed around the world), you are most definitely the bad guys. As if that was in doubt.

the conservatives abolishing business rates
They've just been in power for 14 years with the ability to pass this legislation, so why didn't they then? I call bullshit.

america repeating history
Trump's America. Not just repeating the Nazi / Fascist playbook in the lead up to WWII, but partly replaying America's own history, featured here on the front page of Rolling Stone magazine in 1969. Expect a lot more of this violence before Trump dies or refuses to leave the presidency.

the pub outfit and reality part 78484857677667
Heading to the local for an afternoon meet up pretty shortly, and l've got my outfit sorted.
What l'm hoping to encounter.
Compared to what will no doubt be the reality.

the appleby horse fair arrests
There'd have been 84 arrests if l'd have gone. The last time l went (many years ago) it was on my motorbike. I went by myself, had a few too many drinks with the Gypsies (or Travellers) and then rode back. Keith Richard had nothing on me.

meet the press' kristin welker showcase's proper journalism.
If only more journalists like Kristin Welker stood up to Trump and called out his lies. It would especially help if they backed each other up when Trump singles a reporter out and tries to demean them and who they work for, instead of desperately laughing at his 'jokes' and trying to maintain their White House access. Letting Trump spout lie after lie over the years without rigorous comeback has bought us to where we are today. A dangerous world an a man baby used to getting his own way without any repercussions.
And this is the face of a bullying powerful kiddie raping racist liar who does not like being held to account by the truth. Probably his rapist face.
