Boy Genius, Broadly happy, Town Fan, RPG Superfan and host of the Frankenstein's RPG Podcast. Desperately trying not to talk politics on here but I am weak. Very weak. Also a bit more ill, so sorry if I'm a bit..."sharp" at times. Plus #TaxtheRich

BIG NEWS! Please if all 6000 of you could share this it'd be hugely appreciated and apologies in advance, we tried Kickstarter, we've tried months long pre-orders, so now we're just trying THE NEW ISSUE IS ON SALE RIGHT NOW, so we might mention it a bit over the next few weeks... wyrd.science

Once again America shows, along with Serbia, Hungary and I sincerely hope Israel that Fascists love the rise of the Nazis and the horrific impact of fascism and they always forget the Nuremburg Trials and retribution. And don't ever forget they got voted in in the first place.

Need to start sharing what makes you proud, happy and hopeful in being British? Sir Kevin Sinfield. Our shared sense of humour. Manners. The Grognard Files. Jude Bellingham. Sausage Rolls. Victoria Wood. Book shops and libraries. Focus on raising money for charity. Multi-culturalism. Tenby. You?

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, well known professional arsehole, convicted of threatening and victimising two journalists after they reported him for inciting rioters in Southport. Jail that fucker and throw away the key. Close run thing for C of the Year between him, Farage and Trump. Very close.

Well, well, well... 80% of "donations" to Nigel Farage’s party are from donors or companies based overseas. This is not normal. And the public deserves to know what these super-rich donors want back in return.

Wake up early. Check for narrative about Israel elections stolen - check. Trump madness again - check. Reform racist bigots exposed again - check. Energy Bill increased again - check. All is shite with the world. Hang on. Arsenal beaten by lower league opposition? Blimey.

ODI Cricket looking like another good match! Great to see Afridi back to his near best with 2 early wickets - he's moving the ball around really nicely. Lost a wee bit of pace maybe? Pakistan looking good in the field early on too. Game on #PakvEng !

Confession time: I loved Kieran McKenna as manager of IPSWICH TOWN, loved him. However, I am really starting to warm to Gary O'Neil. He may not be a flashy appointment, he may not be a loud personality but he fits Ipswich, gets the community stuff, link between fans and club. And he's a nice guy.

Covid Enquiry rules Hancock lied about "protective ring around care homes" and that he oversaw thousands of deaths. Arrest, trial and conviction now then please. Then Johnson, Gove and the rest of the Tory incompetents please.
