Geordie/Belfast heritage. That's me in the West Stand paddocks v Villa with my dad, (trust me I'm there somewhere), and also in pic with David Kelly's worn shirt keeping it anonymous thanks very much. 👍

New followers, If I haven't followed back it'll probably be for one of these reasons;

1. I haven't got around to it yet.

2. You haven't posted much or at all so I can't see what you're like yet.

3. We're not really on the same wavelength or our interests differ.

Eddie usually learns as he goes along, needs a bit extra learning at the minute, mind. The recruitment also (at the minute) is looking at its worst since the new regime took over and was an area we did well in up till now.

Sadly, too many people who say “I support the royal family” actually mean “I’m too lazy to think about the implications of one family amassing billions of pounds in wealth, in secret, at the expense of me and every other tax paying citizen.”

Wow, “French marine archaeologists have discovered a massive undersea wall off the coast of Brittany, dating from around 5,000 BC”.

Huge undersea wall dating from 5000 BC found in France
The 120 metre wall was either a fish-trap or a dyke for protection against rising sea-levels, archeologists believe.

Most bonkers part of the story for me is that the Murdoch money was donated via News International (now News UK) - owner of The Times, The Sun, TalkTV etc.

In other words, a media company donating to a political pressure group.

And these same outlets have the gall to whinge about BBC “bias”

Farage says, "I didn't wear them (masks) last time, and I won't wear them this time" and dismisses mask mandates as "rubbish".

Here's Farage in 2020.

Man's a dangerous idiot.

Jekyll and Hyde NUFC, shit first half, much improved second, come back to take the lead, unlucky not to add to it but fatigue costs us YET ANOTHER late goal. Very frustrating and worrying to be honest.

As others have commented … these questions from the media to Nick Woltermode about his personal life is all a bit weird.

None of their business.

Minimum wage should not go higher, suggests UK multi-millionaire Tory leader Badenoch on a salary of £93,904+expenses.

Silence on equitable distribution of wealth, progressive taxation or universal basic income/services.

Can't build economy on poverty.
Minimum wage should not go any higher, suggests Badenoch
Badenoch claimed Labour had tipped the balance too far against workers and in favour of welfare.

Over the last year, myths about the Motability scheme have spread online and in the right wing media. Now, some of it is government policy. 

In today’s Guardian, I set about finding the facts and why the idea of “free cars for the disabled” has taken hold. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Starmer’s ailing government is happy to pursue ideas like cutting Motability, but all ministers will do is damage lives and themselves, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan
