Re: mystery hour Guinness question
This is a BBC archive of the last pub in Belfast to use two barrels to pour a pint of plain (Guinness was done similarly). It is an amazing video, it is an incredible mix of poetry, sadness and nostalgia.

Widely shared but rarely credited to the photographer, Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini.
Gaza is the most dangerous place that has ever existed for journalists. But they work on, documenting a genocide for a world desperately trying to look away.
May their images haunt us forever.

Last home game plug for the Arsenal food bank. If you can support it to help them get through summer there’s a signed shirt to be won. X

That the best thing about the Arsenal performance was David Raya outpacing James Ward-Prowse – then diddling him with a bit of midfield skill in the 97th minute – tells you plenty.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

I don’t think a criminal should be president.
I don’t think a rapist should be attorney general.
People like that should be in prison.
If that makes me a radical leftist lunatic, then yeah, call me that. Whatever.

I've just seen someone on the other platform refer to Nigel Farage as the MP for Mar a Lago and I think that this is what we should all refer to him as from now on 👍🤣

Gary Lineker is one of the very few big celebrities who will dare stand up for Palestine.
Everyone else won't because in a 'democracy' they will find themselves cancelled for speaking the truth, like Sangita Myska.
