You have got to be joking - this, I'm afraid, is typical of Liverpool, the entitlement. It really isn't that controversial - just watch Robertson's reaction to the goal, sheepishly walking away, tells you everything

"Farage told us the flag-raisers were just ordinary folk sticking it to the system. A few months worth of local journalism later, that now looks like a shaky claim."

Only people who have only ever known peace and safety; who have zero sense of the chasm that yawns beneath us, would pull stunts like this. Like the generals who plunged us into WW1 because they wanted baubles like their granddads.

Meet Tahoma the bobcat for National Cat Day! 🐾
He came to Northwest Trek in 2020 after being kept illegally as a pet. He’s now living his best wild life. Tahoma loves to nap in the ferns and snack on chicken. It took him a little while to learn to climb trees, but he’s a natural now! 🌲🐱
