@XMartinsMusicX Bordering on the sadistic. They'd give out these blue conduct chits on your way out of each lesson with the number of whacks of the leather strap you'd receive at break or lunch - all meted out in a dimly lit closet by the gym. It left an impression that's for sure 😄

@samuelluckhurst He should've had the entire squad there to hear how they've let the club down with their attitude.

The more I look back at 🇬🇧 history, the more it seems political tribalism helped create the tragedy. Public ownership became left wing so it had to be dismantled. Unions became the enemy so they had to be broken. State investment became socialism, so assets had to be sold. Europe became foreign control, so leaving became an article of faith. Once economic policy becomes tribal identity, evidence stops mattering. And decades later we are left asking why Britain sold strategic assets, lost productive capacity, hollowed out communities and became dependent on other countries for things we once produced ourselves. Policy should be judged by whether it works not by which political tribe first proposed it.

@StevoLaughton @JohnHealey_MP Here is why population size misses the point. Norway’s fund is now worth about NOK 22 trillion. By mid-2026 only around NOK 5.5 trillion of that represented net money paid in by the state. Around NOK 15.2 trillion came from investment returns. That is what happens when you

@laurennUTD Gomorrah definitely up there with it.

Hi @andreajenkyns, remember when you campaigned for not only speed cameras, but even 20mph in your area? Is there a single belief you haven't shed to be a Reform UK politician?

City fans who are stupid enough to believe that the UAE’s royal family essentially committed international fraud because they care about that tinpot club, are the football equivalent of guys who believe the strippers really like them

Watch how uncomfortable Reform UK’s Jaymey McIvor is as his entire argument and party’s strategy is dismantled right in from of him @McivorJaymey

Man City fans symbolically turning their backs to the pitch in the same way their club turned its back to financial rules for a decade.

This is painful.

@BladeoftheS Innocent until proven guilty. Although the Birmingham 6, the Guilford 4 & Mandela were all found guilty too remember. City aren't in the same league as those above but are already being treated as guilty without having been heard. Stop pandering to the same press.

The free bottle of milk on every British school desk was put there by a 4ft 10 redhead from a Manchester slum, who was dead within 6 months of doing it. Ellen Wilkinson grew up in Ardwick in the 1890s, in a house with no bath, and caught every illness going. She got out on scholarships. By 1935 she was MP for Jarrow, a shipbuilding town where the yard had shut and 7 men in 10 had no work. She had seen what that did to the children. They were small, bow-legged and grey. In 1936 she walked with 200 of their fathers from Jarrow to London, nearly 300 miles, to hand in a petition. The Prime Minister would not see them. In 1945 she was made Minister of Education. She had one thing she wanted above the rest. The Treasury told her the country was bankrupt and it could not be afforded. In August 1946 a third of a pint of full cream milk became free for every schoolchild in Britain, every day, whatever their parents earned. That winter was the worst of the century. Her ministry had no coal. She worked in her overcoat with bronchitis, and on 6 February 1947 she was found dead in her flat, aged 55. She never saw a single class of those children grow up. They turned out the tallest and straightest generation the country had ever produced. If you drank it, warm, through a paper straw, you were her life's work.

@VelouyMusic @Boss__Tha I saw a tweet that likened this scenario to the scene in Pulp Fiction where Marsellus Wallace is rescued by Bruce (Butch) Willis and he was "far from ok".

An idiotic reply from a serial bigot @CatharineHoey that sums up why there is an impasse. It actually sends a shudder down my spine that when Labour were securing the Good Friday Agreement and peace in Northern Ireland people like her were in the Labour Party. Thank god she is no longer. Had she had any say at the time Tony Blair delivered the Good Friday Agreement when politicians on both sides of the debate in Northern Ireland were willing to show leadership and compromise, there would have been no peace , no Good Friday Agreement and the murders would have continued. You are the problem and poison @CatharineHoey , not the solution in Northern Ireland and you never will be. Do not dare lecture anyone who wants peace .

The Orange Order is an anti-working class organisation whose ranks are filled with working class scabs. Wherever it parades it does so in the tradition of the strike breaker, the bailiff, the prison guard, the grass, the debt collector, and the wife beater. They are the running dogs of British capitalism and colonialism, presented as a fraternal organisation engaged in the celebration of Protestant culture and identity. In truth, the Orange Order represents the debasement of Protestant culture and identity. Tone, Emmett, Casement, Markievicz...they and others stand in the finest and enlightened tradition of Irish Protestantism politically, while culturally we look to Yeats, Beckett and Oscar Wilde et al. The Orange Order's notion of culture involves a bottle in the face and a boot in the balls to the sound of the lambeg drum. #GarvaghyRd
