Remarkable, really, that Jim Ratcliffe has lost confidence in the UK but retains confidence in Man United

Having seen how British governments have treated foreigners within its sovereign borders in the past, the language of recent British governments regarding foreigners within its sovereign borders makes me more than a little bit worried and uneasy. This, from Otto, is one example.
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 7d agoIn May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone
I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...
Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible
Bringing this across to Bluesky because it remains evergreen
If “Free Palestine” bothers you more than seeing bombs dropped on refugee camps, maybe it’s time to question your morality.
Bloody hell Liverpool had one job... why'd they have to go and let spurs score Billion pound red bottle jobs
Can't begrudge Chuba Akpom a goal here. But can definitely begrudge sky cocking up showing a simple replay to allow me to appreciate that goal in the wrong colours from a Hale End boy
Sky sports production quality for this match is truly atrocious. On the flip side what an atrociously great match of football
This Dowman kid looks pretty good. *This is the most underwhelming commentary ever
What’s not to love about the league’s highest paid player scoring thanks to the league’s most expensive player being offside to win the game for the league’s most expensive squad backed by the richest owners with the record number of financial charges hanging over them?
Surprise surprise the guy who gets paid tens of thousands to ref charity games in Abu Dhabi keeps giving things in City's favour
Didn't think that was a red when Beckham did something similar in the WC and I don't think Foden's was either. Still.... Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy 😁
I don't know quite how to say this, but all the Everton outfield players look like they're wearing goalie kits, and Pickford looks like he's wearing what should be the normal kit
Good to see Chelsea taking points off our title rivals Hull... Will definitely help come the run in
The priests protesting for human rights are terrorists and the guys who want to expel the brown hordes and build fortress England are good Christian lads with fortuitous funding. The fascists are thoroughly inside the building and they’re not wearing Restore rosettes.
I thought we were past this behaviour now that we're champions
Tazz@undecidedhandle.bsky.social · 2w agoAll this Gyok hate, especially from otherwise level head insightful folk, makes me uncomfortable. Remember his performance in the first leg against Atletico last year? That's what we should be pushing him to replicate on a regular instead of turning him into our latest whipping boy.

That clip of Allegri squatting on the sidelines like he's going for a big un on a camping trip gave me flashbacks to when all of Arsenal twitter were furious that we signed Mikel instead of him to be our new manager
Am doing my best to subtly unnerve all of Napoli tonight by putting cheese on bread in the microwave for my supper and calling it a pizza
As a sign of the times I'm in, having a red bull for the first time since I was at uni and cramming for exams....
90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
BBC breakfast covering itself in shame once again. Presenter asking a govt official whether there's too much focus on the protestors (read thugs) blocking ports, than on the issue of migration. Racist, right wing dog whistling. I need to stop my license fee, I ain't paying to be demonised
