Been around the block, retired from education, sort of, not retired from life. Now got time for watercolour painting, riding my bike, and playing blues, though not all at the same time.
Been glory hunting with Liverpool since Shankly’s days

Not posting anything except this today.
I will be with fellow survivors later today remembering the 97 who died, the hundreds injured and the many survivors who still suffer.
If you are affected by the events of 15/4/89 and need someone to talk to @hillsboroughsu1.bsky.social are there for you.

Supporters of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK held the most extreme views of any party backers, with 71% saying that having British ancestry was a prerequisite for someone to be truly British(Guardian 30.12). So that rules out the Royal Family

Via the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, Arsenal are planning a "red and white display" for the Liverpool game on 8 January - every fan will have a recyclable bag to hold up.

Just shows how stats are often misleading. Julian Dicks was arguable the worst player I saw in a red shirt, certainly with regards to attitude, yet he is above Henry on that list.
With his successful spot-kick for Fulham against Nottingham Forest, Raúl Jiménez has joined Yaya Touré as the player to have taken the most Premier League penalties and still have a 100% conversion rate (11/11).

No wonder Farage is cheering Trump on in his attacks on the BBC.

Didn’t see the full match but saw highlights. How the faak was that not a red?! Horrendous challenge. Surely Pawson & Darren England(VAR) who’s got previous gets reprimanded. Incompetence of the highest order. And Gomes nearly scores as well later in the match. #PGMOL are corrupt! #LIVBHA 🔴👊🏽

If you Judge a school on a narrow set of criteria including results in STEM subjects, then who can actually blame school leaders.
The fault for this lies at the top, 40 years of politicians spouting “Maths Science and English are the important subjects” rhetoric has impoverished the curriculum.
