Annual reminder that the Community Shield used to be called the Charity Shield, but so little money actually went to charity that the government told them to either start making serious contributions or change the name. So they changed the name.

Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.
Messi is like the soft-spoken gang boss who says things like, “While I personally abhor violence, some of my associates may be less fastidious.”
Julianna 💎@batariangal.eurosky.social · 2mo agoBBC panel talking about the post-whistle Argentina scrap taking a moment to talk about Messi being gracious in defeat and, ngl, as a tourist, I feel like that guys gets way too much of a free pass
In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.
I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.
What is it about white people that makes them so violent? Should we tolerate white culture in the UK? Is the fact he was arrested without violence evidence of two-tier policing? Should white people still be given housing when non-whites remain homeless? Will white leaders condemn this? etc.

No, they didn't. Reform voters voted for Reform. There just aren't as many of them as you think, and the public are lead to believe.
Infinitely more problems in our society are caused by the internet habits of people in the last 16 years of their life than by those of people in the first 16

Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.
Imagine America giving Britain lectures on joining conflicts late

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
Truly, truly, truly disgusting. Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.
Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron. 10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.
Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was. He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.
This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.
