More damage has been inflicted on British society by the organisations on this street than could ever be caused by Kneecap - or, indeed, the IRA. Yet @bbcnewsuk.bsky.social gives the Think Tankers at No 55 plenty of airtime

A bit about the reality of living in London – actually, the UK. This was my experience last night. I start this piece with ‘London has fallen’ but, in general, when you see this phrase, or variations like ‘London is cooked.’ stop reading. tonyevans92a.substack.com/p/one-evenin...

Brian Wilson. One of the greats. I almost saw him live. I heard him. I really did. While a load of footballers were punching each other and mounted police were breaking up the brawl. Surreal

Brian Glanville died last month. I’ve been thinking about him and the other great sportswriter I’ve been lucky enough to work with, Hugh McIlvanney. There are others I admire but they’re still alive. So I thought I’d write about Brian and Hugh tonyevans92a.substack.com/p/life-with-...

Final part of my three-piece series on the 40th anniversary of Heysel. To understand the context of what happened in Brussels, you need to take the events in Rome, almost a year earlier, into account

Second piece today. Don’t use the dead to score silly points. It makes you a ghoul and shows no respect to those who died or their families tonyevans92a.substack.com/p/heysel-40-...

This piece made some people furious when I wrote it in The Times 20 years ago. It’s the first of two articles I will post today. The next one will assess the impact of Heysel on the perception of Liverpool supporters
