my prediction as to what will happen as Reform's contradictions pile up - low tax but raising council tax, anti-establishment but taking in Tories, law and order but full of criminals - is absolutely nothing. the offer is permission to treat people badly, and it's a popular one.

(football twitter is the one thing this place was sorely lacking, so if enough of that makes the jump then this site, finally, will have Some Real Juice)
hope the UK follows through and blocks twitter but bsky is simply not prepared for becoming disproportionately British

Commentary: Humans being terrified of the dark is a big flag that we are actually incredibly weak and spongy.
Like, until “civilisation” we basically got looted by the rest of the animal kingdom whenever they got hungry.
Most pagan religions contain offering food to animal gods. Makes you think.

This is basically the view of the world that Plato sets out to refute in the Republic. One of the core questions asked therein is: why do powerful people think the mere fact of them exercising dominion makes it good for them to do so? Sure, you *can* get away with stuff if you're powerful - so what?
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

The reality is that we will grovel, make some noises such as “really this is not on!” And then try to forget it happened as quickly as possible.
None of NATO or Australia /New Zealand has the equipment or the balls to take on the US. Trump knows it too. That’s why he’ll take anything he wants.

Same for the UK and Europe. We’ve spent the last 70 years hooked up to the US security and economic umbrella. Now Russia is at our door and China is militarily powerful.
There is no way we are going to fight the most powerful military on Earth who also controls most of our nukes.

Sachs doesn’t pull his punches. And he nails it here. Not just as regards the most recent illegal US action. But of the last 80years of illegal action, regime change and state-sanctioned overseas political manipulation and violence by America.

Chiesa made a charge but didn’t reach him in time, because he was marking another player on the wing and didn’t think Reed would shoot.
It’s a miracle goal. There is no accounting for it.
It fucking hurts like a bitch mind.

Harrisson Reed hadn’t scored for almost 3 years. He has 4 goals for Fulham in his entire career.
For people moaning about not closing him down, remember when Lovren hoofed it into the stand in the last minute? That’s what normally happens, and why no one closed down Lovren at the time, or Reed now

Up the Reds.
There is no silver lining that won't be crushed. No hope that won't be extinguished. No good vibe that won't be stomped out. All misery all the time. Liverpool 25-26.

I know they were slow to close down but in this case… I mean, why would you? He’s a center back who never scores. 9/10 times that Lovrens into the stand.
