Some vital context on the Slavia Prague/Pride flag situation: The flag is not being removed, it is being relocated from the Away section. This is still not an ideal solution, the club should’ve told Slavia to forfeit the match, but better a flag moved than torn apart or set fire to.

Okay I was originally really angry about this, but it looks like Spurs are moving the flag to the opposite corner and frankly I'm glad that means it won't be at risk of destruction by traveling homophobes.
The progress pride flag, the symbol of the LGBTQ+ community, on display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been relocated for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Slavia Prague following a request from the visiting club.

Tottenham’s LGBTQ+ flag relocated after Slavia Prague request on ‘security grounds’
The large flag is usually situated in the North-East corner of the Spurs ground and will instead be displayed in the South-West corner.

This is antithesis to the whole point of Pride in football and what it means for the fans. If you are the host, you should be able to stand your ground and say 'respect everyone or don't come'.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

⚠️ Trump, Farage and their allies are coming for the BBC – and its future’s on the line.
The Government’s about to rewrite the rules on who controls the BBC.
If we don’t act now, we risk losing one of the last trusted, independent news sources we have and ending up with our own version of Fox News.

£20bn sounds like a lot, but just a 2% tax on assets over £10 million would raise £24bn. That’s a tax that would only affect the top 20,000 richest people in the country.
The idea that Rachel Reeves needs to raise taxes on working people to balance the budget is simply false. Tax the ultra-rich.
