Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque?
It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage

Ohhhh West Ham! I've been rooting for you, what an opportunity missed!
FT | West Ham 1-1 Leicester City
⚽️ Martinez
⚽️ O'Brien
West Ham's bubble popped here in Dagenham. They were a minute away from their first win of the season but O'Brien's last minute goal keeps them tied with Liverpool at the bottom.

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.
