Die FIFA hat nun also endgültig entschieden, dass die Nationalmannschaft des Iran bei der Fußball-WM in den FSA spielen muss.

This is one of the lowest days in the long and proud history of @ipswichtown.bsky.social, a club built on real community values that chanted down racist songs by Chelsea thugs in the 1980s. I'm ashamed.

This is crass.

On the back of flogging Iron Age coins, this new 'publication by press release' claims a level of certainty never seen in true scholarship.

@uniofeastanglia.bsky.social & Prof Licence should be ashamed.

So, Trump is talking about arresting foreigners as they come into the States. If that is the case, who exactly is willing to travel to the US for the FIFA World Cup?

This is the US today. A racist fascist misogynist homophobic sadistic cruel dictatorship. Enter at your own risk. Avoid at all costs.

Liverpool have won a Champions League knockout tie for the first time since they last reached the final.

They were brilliant. The seeds of a successful future Liverpool are there. We haven't seen it anywhere near enough but embrace it, embrace them.

Up the Reds. ❤️

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
