Lenin & McCarthy

Peter Mandelson has been the most malign force in Labour politics since the war - Mahmood is giving it a go mind. Mandelson prevented 3 Labour landslides & one huge majority making anything but the smallest dent on Thatcherism. They should lock him up forever for that, never mind anything else.

It's the 1980s, & the battle of the Grays at Elland Road, where Larry Lloyd has a 'moment'

@scraggy74.bsky.social & @themagicofthecup.bsky.social finally get to ditch their flares for Italian-styled tracksuits. Splash on that Kouros gents!

With that, the Wings book, Man on the Run, the reflective new album, I think he is finally looking towards retirement and putting his legacy in order.
In which case RELEASE THE LONDON TOWN BOX SET!

That bee looks disturbingly like Trump crawling out of another hole.

Ever more ludicrous, the front page of the Express today. A newspaper that thinks small boats are more important than a lunatic in the White House promising genocide and the destruction of an entire civilisation. Anybody still buying this should be led away to a padded cell.

It's this simple ...
Why should EU suppliers struggle to trade with the UK when they have a frictionless market of half a billion consumers available without ANY red tape. No amount of baby steps or alignments on veterinary checks can replace the Single Market!

At what point does somebody stage an intervention and send him away with the men in white coats?

Never ceases to amaze that the most prominent God botherers - ie politicians - make it clear from every single one of their actions that they have never managed to read a single page of the New Testament.

When the US have finished bombing Iran into the Stone Age, what is the attitude going to be towards Iranian refugees fleeing a nation where they can no longer survive, thanks to the work of the US?

Putin - I am going to bomb Germany back to the Stone Age.
Xi - I am going to bomb South Korea back to the Stone Age.

Imagine that. But Trump can say he's going to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age 'where they belong', 92million human beings, and nothing.

Is anybody going to do anything?

The 1970s: The FA Cup finals 1970 Chelsea v Leeds United (replay) at Old Trafford

1970, the FA Cup Final Replay. A dozen or so blokes kicking the hell out of each other; you might also get to see hear about some football. @scraggy74.bsky.social and @themagicofthecup.bsky.social go tooled up, just in case. Bring yer dinner. yourboystookahellofabeating.substack.com/p/the-1970s-...

About time.
Incidentally, if you are from the EU and came here in the midst of the Brexit fiasco, you don't get anything stamped in your passport. You are at the mercy of a digital scheme working or not. My wife is visiting family soon and can't check into he return flight because of that. Pathetic

Noah.

Because the Blair/Mandelson axis preferred absolute power every now and again in the electoral cycle when Britain had had enough of the Tories, rather than the hard work of 'third way' coalition building that they once pretended to support. Mandelson is a hugely malign force in our politics.

It's uncanny that pretty much everyone now with any power is someone who has gone through life without ever being told "No", nor that they are a complete cock. And now we are left with an insoluble problem that's going to send us back to the Dark Ages to start again.

IT'S FRIDAY. And we have a Christmas Crackerjack game for you as #DerbyCounty get rinsed by gunge at Anfield. #Liverpool win. As usual. @themagicofthecup.bsky.social and @scraggy74.bsky.social crack open the festive Sherry

That piano riff has a hint of the 'how can I tell you about my loved one' bit from Silly Love Songs about it. Or maybe that's because I was reading about it in the Wings book last night.

And those terms and conditions would prevent Farage booking a tour?

#OnThisDay 24 March 1976 🇦🇷

A coup in Argentina saw a military junta take control for seven years, during which an estimated 30,000 people 'disappeared' during the 'Dirty War'.

@rhyswrichards.bsky.social wrote a brilliant book about how the junta impacted the 1978 World Cup

#NuncaMas

Given that every one of our economies will collapse into 1930s depression, isn't it time the rest of the world staged an intervention and had Trump removed. I accept nothing is as simple as that but what's the alternative? We just happily march on to our demise?

That is true of players at a dozen clubs in the top two divisions in England and the top league in Scotland. The mental weakness of this generation of professional footballers is extraordinary.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAN. JUST RELEASE THE LONDON TOWN BOX SET NOW.

Sorry for shouting, but you know...

Academy football = requires patience.

Every 'stakeholder' in football (owners, mangers, fans) = no patience.

Circle unsquareable.

Hard to win a war when you didn't know what winning looked like at the start.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Yes, there's gas in the car.
For about another week.
