I’ve listened to dance music since the 80’s, went out clubbing avidly until around 2000 and then took a step back. I continued to buy a lot of dance music and have always had a love of all things Andrew Weatherall. Somewhere around 2013 I heard Andrew DJ in support of Primal Scream.
The FA is not fit for purpose. The only solace I can take from that day is that none of my hard earned went to Palace.
Exclusive: The FA has written to Crystal Palace and Macclesfield to stop the Premier League side from handing their share of FA Cup gate receipts to the non-League club.

Some good news at least on the Palace front.
🚨⚒️ Axel Disasi, close to joining West Ham on loan deal from Chelsea as talks advance to final stages. Disasi was never close to joining Italian clubs despite several reports and West Ham are now accelerating.

This may be an issue it seems.
As for Mateta, I wonder which Champions League mega club he is off to?

Went to the dentist to repair a chipped tooth. He was stumped as to how I'd taken a chunk clean off a molar. Too ashamed to tell him I was trying to open a bottle of Peroni at 6am going to Chelsea away.

Only Palace could break their transfer record twice in one window and end up with two pretty underwhelming signings, leaving the fanbase frustrated. Hope I’m wrong on Johnson and JSL, but neither signing excites.
🚨 Crystal Palace close to agreement for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. Talks between #CPFC & Jorge Mendes on behalf of #WWFC advanced; £45m + £5m fee being discussed. Leeds United bids scaled £40m but #LUFC not currently going higher 🚨

Crystal Palace close on Jorgen Strand Larsen £45m transfer agreement with Wolves
Palace want to strengthen their attack before the winter transfer window shuts and Strand Larsen has emerged as their top target.

Yes.
Are Palace in a relegation battle? Well that sort of depends on your perspective.
The data says no, and in fact they are closer to Liverpool in sixth than they are West Ham in 18th
But their league position and run of dismal form is alarming. So the nerves are entirely understandable #CPFC

#1001albums: Day 28: the Specials: More Specials: 1980. Spearheading the Two Tone movement of the early 80s, lots of great songwriting and a bit more adventurous than some of their contemporaries, I was never a two tone boy at school, no Harrington jacket for me, but they wrote some great hits.

So nice of The Times to make sure we finally get the other side of the story.
![The parable of the Nazi Bar, a screenshot of a series of tweets by Michael Tager (in a screenshot from Google Images).
It's a long text and I'm not going to transcribe it here, but this Wiktionary explains it link and full Wiktionary definition below):
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nazi_bar
Popularized by an anecdote shared by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) on Twitter in July 2020. Tager recounted visiting a "shitty crustpunk bar" where he saw a patron abruptly expelled: the bartender explained that the man was wearing "iron crosses and stuff", and that he feared such patrons would become regulars and start bringing friends if not promptly kicked out, which would lead him to realize "oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now" only after the unwanted patrons became too "entrenched" to kick out without trouble.[1][2] (Instances of people noting that if a bar starts serving Nazis other customers stop going and it becomes a Nazi bar are older.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xfrwohjwxmkytdzadc4lqqy6/bafkreiefmg6zucjna7se4szf7ykihyrej4gzgjujgeicnraj3h4duqpl7i@jpeg)

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Their very own Mein Kampf. It’s there in black and white for anyone who suggests they aren’t that bad. Just like it was for Farage’s idol in 1930s Germany
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
