It must be time to post our Festive Christmas songs mash up again. This year, if you pay to download it, all the profit goes to FareShare, a charity that helps those in food poverty.

United have the players to win the league and a team that could get relegated. Loving watching them these days…. 🤞

The Five Stages of #Fascism

#MAGA Edition

1. Emerging out of Disillusionment

Classic fear of immigrants, “deep state” and blaming establishment for economic woes of working and middle classes.

Interesting. Wonder what Farage will go with.
Nazis always obsess over fonts.

In Germany, the Nazi Party initially pushed Fraktur and declared Futura 'un-Germanic', with designer Paul Renner going into exile.

Just before the war they flipped, adopting Futura for its modern feel and declaring heavy types like Fraktur as suspiciously Jewish.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

Very conflicted. Happy for Shaun Dyche and think he’ll do a good job there. Also feel sorry for him having to work with Marinakis and sorry for Forest fans and football fans everywhere to have to witness Dycheball again. www.tiktok.com/@bobbycarpet...

Gary Neville has picked the wrong kind of free speech. His ‘deluded’ rant and ‘most dangerous lapse into self-parody’ has prompted a Sky Sports sack call.

The MailOnline really does need to be careful about calling this a ”racist’ outburst, by the way...

This is spot on from @zackpolanski.bsky.social, who is himself Jewish and comes from Manchester.

Shabana Mahmoud is being deeply dishonest, disingenuous and dangerous by conflating protests against genocide with this antisemitic attack. It is not antisemitic to protest against the horror in Gaza.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

“We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response.

“London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”
Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

Anger over. Time to accept as death, taxes, and Everton announcing they want to win the league cup then putting out a half strength team, playing like it’s a friendly and letting an easily winnable game slip away from them.

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".
Fundamentally, the headbanging Right doesn't believe Autism (or ADHD) exists. Or in so far as it does exist, a human conspiracy has created it.

We're back to their core outlook that 'It didn't exist back in the good old days so can't exist now.'

'It must just be some modern woke Marxist nonsense'.
