It's even more alarming than it's previously been that much of the UK is reliant on US social media to function (and chat). Someone should come up with the idea of a UK "digital public space"... oh look @tonyageh.bsky.social did! e.g. www.opendemocracy.net/en/ourbeeb/b...

If ever a team earned a payday replay it’s Tamworth. Very unfortunate to lose and really should have won it at the end of normal time. Unlucky own goal changed everything. Deserved better after that performance.
