Redcar Athletic supporters linked to Rita's - Redcar had an away day at Stockton Town yesterday. Following through with two legs before/after at The Golden Smog (Teesside's other leftist/antifascist watering hole). Anyone passing through Teesside should give these your custom.

The one and only Gerry “The Crunch” Byrne was born on 29 August 1938. He was the hero of Liverpool’s first FA Cup triumph in 1965, when he played against Leeds at Wembley with a broken collarbone sustained in an early challenge. He made a total of 333 appearances for the Reds.

Britons taking “Plan 2” student loan need to earn £63,600 a year to reduce debt. Plan 2 graduates with an average loan of £52,100, and earning £39,039 would see loan balance actually increase by £1,692 a year. England student debt £294.6bn, UK £324bn Median UK employee wage is £31,500. Madness.

Should we still be debating spontaneous genesis of insects? Should we still be debating earth’s solar system position? Must every new theory be debated against not just the current best theory but also every other discredited one? Is this how we think we’ll progress? Isn’t this just fucking stupid
