Not sure what point he’s trying to make, but football was a violent, racist mess in the 80s (its worst decade, probably). I loved going to NFFC as a teenager, but football is far safer now than it was then. Unrecognisably so.
Lovely to bump into you, though I spend a good few minutes a week waiting at the level crossing in Mortlake.
NEW: UK taxpayers are losing £22 billion every year from losses at the Bank of England - the same as the entire Home Office annual budget. This is the result of a flawed implementation of the BoE's quantitative easing programme. We propose two steps to fix this leak. (1/4)
Go on the news, say pre-determined thing that aligns with aims, clip for socials and throw down channels. Repeat.

It’s Bluebell Time in the UK, the global HQ of these wonderful evocative magical flowers. It’s said the bells rang to summon faeries to their parties. We should have a national Bluebell Day. @themarshtit.bsky.social @ajpendleton.bsky.social @craigbennett3.bsky.social @celiarichardson.bsky.social
