The “toxic and chaotic culture” inside Boris Johnson’s Downing St was behind the UK’s “too little, too late” response to Covid-19, with Johnson singled out for particular blame. Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett said poor decisions by him, his ministers and officials cost tens of thousands of lives.

One day people will have to accept that you are in charge of your body, and if you make contact with someones head, regardless of how, its your repsonsibility. You know, concussion, brain injury, cumulative damage etc… Evry other sport is having to take this seriously (note Rugby particulalry).

Managers needs to have a bit more courage here - officiating won’t improve if it’s only teams who have been negatively affected by it speaking out.
Sonia Bompastor: "Difficult to make comments because from the dugout you can't see the same as they can see on the pitch. I can probably understand the Arsenal frustration but I don't want to make any comment."

I have spent my entire professional life understanding the British point of view on foreign policy. I get certain historic and cultural differences. But the wilder the world gets the more infuriated I become by the dismissive attitude many Brits have towards the EU as a peace project./

Not seen reported but MTA statement (original Hebrew, not BBC excerpts) explained why they’re rejecting tickets for Villa. One reason was “fear of external extremists who have despicable views joining with their supporters (a thinly-veiled reference to Tommy Robinson). MTA don’t want to be linked.

#DYK The initial investigation into hacking at News of the World - which failed to get to the bottom of the scandal - was carried out by a police officer who subsequently left the force. And then got a job with News UK. #TheHack

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

The premier league won’t grow up and become a proper global sporting competition as long as PGMOL is in charge of their referees. The Clubs and their supporters deserve better but the league is largely undermined by PGMOL’s incompetence.

Howard Webb will go on TV & tell you a lie that you can easily disprove with the visual evidence right in front of you. And he does this while contradicting his prior comments about similar situations. If anyone at PGMOL remotely cared about their credibility he’d be gone. But they clearly don’t.
