I get a little annoyed by the coverage of the proposed sell-off of the World Cup. They’re not just planning to sell it off. They’re planning to sell it off *to the Trump family*. That should be up front and central.

“why name me, I’m only the Leader, the cabinet decided” is as legally illiterate as it is politically pathetic. His personal decision to delegate the task to the cabinet does not prevent him making the decision himself, see s9E (7) Local Govt Act 2000. For a flavour of his role & wide power - 7.07:

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Wow. “…no UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive, unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership.”

💣 UEFA eviscerates Gianni Infantino. "The World Cup is not for sale." "This is not merely a profound failure of leadership, but an abdication of FIFA’s duty as the custodian of world football." "We will never lend this model our legitimacy."

"What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority" great piece from Allison Morris in the Belfast Telegraph. Please support Allison as she will no doubt be targeted now. Archive link below. archive.ph/oQ2Cs

What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority Belfast Telegraph27 Jul 2026ALLISON MORRIS I’ve thought long and hard about commenting on the controversy over the cancellation of the Women’s Rights Network (WRN) event at Féile an Phobail — not because I don’t have an opinion, but because it is a debate that attracts the most toxic elements. WRN NI was not a group I was familiar with beforehand, so I did some research. No speakers were listed in the Féile programme for the planned event, which in itself is odd as there are for almost every other of the 90-plus debates and discussions. The group has since announced who its speakers were to be in a series of online posts. My research took me down quite the rabbit hole — a who’s who of the anti-trans movement not just on this island but Europe-wide. I don’t pretend to understand their motivation. In fact, I remain baffled as to why in one of the most dangerous places for women to live in Europe, the group — which has spoken out about femicide before — is obsessing about a small minority instead of the actual dangers we face from domestic violence and femicide. I have worked for decades covering violence against women and girls in all the distressing forms that takes. I know the names of every woman and child murdered in Northern Ireland in the last 10 years without even having to look them up. Not a single one was caused by a trans woman — I checked the list twice just to be sure. None of them were murdered in a public toilet either, which having looked at the online posts of WRN and their many affiliates, is apparently the most dangerous place on earth for women, with trans predators lurking in every cubicle. Apart from the absurdity of much of the group’s argument regarding the perceived dangers of trans women, the claim that women are being silenced by Féile is the most disingenuous of them all.

So sad. My brother Steve also watched from the terraces, for me cheering the coach as it passed my school was as good as it got, until he & Heighway made a surprise visit to Butlins (!) when I was there on holiday aged c12/13, we talked football & table tennis. A wonderful player and a lovely man.

The first footballing superstar I watched from the terraces. Shankly's new team. The start of it all. Perms for men included.

Amazing painting by Rembrandt at a time when refugees were settling Holland. ‘He’s painting this crowded scene of Christ welcoming children, welcoming families. This was very controversial at the time. There were people in Leiden who didn’t want to welcome them’ www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Rembrandt painting was altered to erase turban from man’s head, restorers find

Dangerous deregulation call from this ghoul. I recall Dunblane as an emotional “hug them closer” moment, like our parents had with us after Aberfan, with a widespread understanding that the changes to gun laws after Hungerford the previous decade, another 16 dead mass shooting, had fallen short.

This is bad even for Rupert Lowe. Because of our gun laws we don’t have active shooter drills in schools and children don’t have to go to their friend’s funerals. MAGA ideology is utter poison Restore Britain leader describes Dunblane tragedy as 'one murder' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
