In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of +£18.42tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

Man pardoned by Donald Trump for Jan. 6 now wanted on state child solicitation charge
Thanks to President Donald Trump, a Texas man who beat police officers during the Jan. 6 riot had his six-year plus prison ended. But now 36-year-old Andrew Taake may be headed back to jail

Fascism doesn’t arrive in uniform overnight. It arrives with suited politicians, one piece of legislation — or executive order — at a time.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

It’s the anniversary of this Dennis Bergkamp obscenity for Ajax vs Vitesse in 1993.

That first touch. Sweet mercy. Even Louis van Gaal (dressed in Columbo’s raincoat), can only stand and applaud…

Liverpool (92.7%) and Arsenal (7.1%) both won on MD23, so the Opta supercomputer's needle hasn't moved much.

However, there are now some simulations where the Premier League finishes with Cherries on top. 👀🍒

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

@knoxharrington.bsky.social As to your question on the Friday night, it seems the second legs would be Anfield for the last 16 and the QF's based on which bracket we're in. The semi final looks to be away for both the 1st and 2nd seeds if both did go that far.
