hitting us with the 🧍

Meredith 🏁 @nightmere.bsky.social · 10h

it was entertaining in a chaotic way 😅

but in general most of the sprints I've seen have been pretty forgettable

martin brundle is on a mission to annoy me as much as possible here I think

Meredith 🏁 @nightmere.bsky.social · 10h

very funny hearing martin immediately lunge to 'lance stop, the car's dangerous'

When Jenrick says that things were 'less than well-mannered' in the 80s at football games, he means fans threw bananas at the Black players.

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 21h

The chances that Robert Jenrick *literally* went to "more than a few football matches in the away end" at Villa Park *in the 1980s* (ie, before his 8th birthday on 8.1.1990) are vanishingly small to non-existent. (He may have been in the away end at Villa Park as a child or teenager in the 1990s)

quite satisfying to click on this and see they were all already blocked by another list 😌

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.
