The irony of this fucking toad wearing a Liverpool tie to his propaganda hearing is that I literally cannot think of a city/club that is more diametrically opposed to his values. Fuck this clown, he is NOT welcome. #LFC
I do hope this photo of #KashPatel wearing a #LFC tie has been photoshopped otherwise I may have to change my football allegiance. 😰

🦓🦬 After last week’s protest at the Orbán family’s €30M Habsburg mansion-turned-dacha—claimed to be his father’s “farm”—opposition MP Ákos Hadházy will now run weekend safari tours to “Orbánland” (Hatvanpuszta estate) to spot zebras, buffalo and antelopes near the estate. A new symbol of corruption.

Free speech update. Local schoolchildren made a banner saying "Epping welcomes all except racists". The Homeland Party [their Norfolk organiser] says his members have taken and burnt it, sharing the image of burning the anti-racist message on social media, to emphasise their commitment to racism.

This online poll by the (Newcastle) #Chronicle suggests that less than a fifth of #NUFC fans don't want to sell their star player.
But such online polls aren't reliable.

Thousands of properties going up without access to playgrounds, community infrastructure and even doctors
Thousands of homes across England are being built without urgently needed community infrastructure, say councillors and campaigners, leaving families without access to playgrounds, schools, shops, and even doctors.

I’m happy for her. Now where is that coverage of the once-in-a-life-time protest of a newly elected president? Where are the aerial shots of the crowds? The protests held in small, red towns across the country, not just blue cities? You’ve really let us down.
