Allow me to reintroduce myself..
Live in Southampton. Work with food banks as a campaigner. Bit of a radical lefty. Support Nottingham Forest and Athletic Club Bilbao. Didn't finish a PhD about the legacy of the Spanish Civil War. Write articles about 1920s football managers for fun. Anything else?

Fullsized tiled mosaic of Picasso's "Guernica" in Gernika. Made in 1997 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the massacre. The Basque suffix “ra” ( Gernikara) means “to” Gernika., i.e. calling for the painting to be brought [from Madrid] to the Basque Country

All of the speculation in the world that Nico Williams is going to Barça and he signs a 10 YEAR CONTRACT with Athletic Club. Honestly can't believe it. There really is no club like it in the world ❤️🤍 #UniqueInTheWorld www.athletic-club.eus/noticias/202...

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip.
Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

On this day in 1937, SS Habana arrived in Southampton from Bilbao. On board were around 3,840 Basque children who had been evacuated from the Spanish Civil War. They were taken to a volunteer-run camp at North Stoneham before being relocated to homes across the country.
