@mattdaviesadams.bsky.social Garry Parker got two in the ZDS v Everton the year before. 3-3 win. One was an epic break from an Everton corner. Brian fanzine described it thus: “he started that run on the Neasden Road”. Was at that game, and wore out my VHS replaying that goal

Disgraceful, misleading journalism
thetimes.com The Times & Sunday Times @thetimes.com · Sep 30
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
Labour’s tough new rules will not apply to migrants already in UK

For those who want to email The Times in protest, I've copied @zoejardiniere.bsky.social's email into the alt for the image attached below (with a final paragraph added).

Just add your name at the end and send it to feedback@thetimes.co.uk
Good morning, I am writing to request a correction to the inaccurate & misleading use of image to accompany a story that appeared in your paper today (Tuesday 30th September 2025). The article is online here: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/labour-new-rules-migrants-uk-200x325pb and has been shared on social media using the same image. The image shows asylum seekers on a small boat crossing the channel, while the article is entirely concerned with proposed changes to the immigration rules that would affect all other categories of immigrants, and not asylum seekers. The immigrants who will be affected by the policies under discussion in the article will all without exception have entered the UK through regular means on a visa and be working - disproportionately in our health system & public services. The misuse of images of small boat arrivals that make up just 5% of overall immigration has contributed to the widespread impression that they make up the majority of immigration, and contributes to hostile feeling towards immigrants and ethnic minority Britons. The use of an appropriate image - for example of migrant care workers or farm workers - would better communicate to your readers the actual impact of the proposals contained in the Home Secretary’s speech. I therefore request that your publication issue a public apology for this misleading use of imagery, update the article with an appropriate and accurate image, and ensure that instructions are issued to your image editors along with updated editorial guidance to prevent a recurrence of such misrepresentation in future coverage. Thank you,

Remembering Chris Bart-Williams who would have been 51 today

Excellent player who played for Leyton Orient, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Charlton Athletic, Ipswich Town, APOEL & Marsaxlokk

Taken far too soon. Sorely missed 🙏

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.

Not only do palindromes exist in French @acjimbo.bsky.social but Georges Perec wrote a 1247 word palindrome 🤯. Check out also his 300 page detective novel “La Disparition” that contains no letter e in the entire work

This kid slightly misunderstood their homework assignment and we could not possibly love it more. 12/10
a white sheet of paper hanging from a black clip against a blue wall. the paper is a worksheet with the words, "my dog is a..." with the instructions to circle one of the following words, "hero," "companion," or "worker." instead, the word "circle" has been circled in pencil, and the rest of the sheet reads, "because he is round" in crude handwriting. next to the explanation as to why the dog is a circle, is a drawing of a very rotund dog with a tiny tail and little feet. this is an A+ assignment if we've ever seen one.

Here we go. The start of the chaos. Immigrants treated like pollution. Ordinary consumers in US and elsewhere hammered by tariffs. Escalating rhetoric. Breakdown in international cooperation. And all of it achieving precisely nothing. Just a fucking waste of time.

Nearly everyone I spoke to who voted for the orange buffoon said that the reason they voted for him was because he would stop illegal immigration. When asked how illegal immigration affected their lives they said that it had no impact on their life.
