In 1988, whilst carrying his baby daughter Lauren, Kenny Dalglish interrupted a post-match interview Alex Ferguson was having with "You'll get more sense out of her". Proper animosity, proper beef.
Now they're sharing Dairy Milk Buttons like two kids at nursery. Game's gone.

I remember, many years ago now (with ny transport strategist hat on) being asked in a BBC interview if Crossrail would be Khan's biggest legacy. The thing that had the biggest impact on London.
I said:
"No. It'll be ULEZ."
(The low emissions zone)

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

Wow. Has nobody got any backbone anymore?
Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

Fouls and handballs in the box should result in an indirect free kick from where the incident happened - not a penalty. Penalties are too big a punishment for a lot of minor offences especially given how specialist a lot of takers are these days.
Also Brighton are just really annoying, sorry.

Everybody should absolutely view this as an invitation to drop your spiciest soccer takes.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

The problem for Meta is that when you read stuff like this very few people’s reaction is “well that doesn’t sound like the sort of thing they’d do”
A German teen told Meta's child safety researchers his under-10 little brother had been sexually propositioned multiple times on its VR platform.
Meta deleted the evidence.
New internal whistleblower docs indicate that was part of a broader cover-up: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Meta suppressed research on child safety, employees say
The company’s lawyers intervened to shape research that might have shed light on risks in virtual reality, four current and former staffers have told Congress. Meta denies the allegations.

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.
Tonight, my 77-year-old mother ripped this flag off a dual carriageway bridge near Birmingham. Note the swastika. My dad's dad died fighting the Nazis.
