I have a keen interest in current affairs. I am passionately anti-Brexit and have a distinct dislike of those with extreme right wing views. I am generally to be found in the middle ground, with a tilt to the left on occasions.
Does Trump really think that he is going to get a Nobel Peace Prize for orchestrating this sell out? 🤡

I really get annoyed when I see sport being used as a political football. Regardless of background, or tradition, we should all rejoice in its ability to bring people together and to provide our youth with a positive pathway. Sport should always be a unifier and not a divider.

I am always amused when I see someone nowadays being referred to as an "Influencer." Not that long ago they would have been called a 'chancer' or a 'freeloader' #influencers

Farage apparently suffers from selective amnesia.
Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".
Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

Ugh
This man
This paper.
Using the same rhetoric as Trump’s lot, jumping on the Kirk bandwagon to claim victimhood and cancel free speech if it criticises him.
Farage incites riots on our streets, then acts all ‘poor me’ when his ugly racist ideas are called out.
No one should pander to this shit.

Not what the Sadiq Khan bashers want to hear but an encouraging statistics nevertheless.
Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.
