The gulf between what London is actually like & how it is portrayed by terminally online, self-styled ‘patriots’ & their political heroes is absolutely incredible. I wonder how much it has to do with the city repeatedly electing a Muslim mayor… www.timeout.com/london/news/...

I think basically you have to assume based on this that the trump campaign involved a lot of secretly paying for endorsements bsky.app/profile/pale...

Lineker is all of us. Constantly being cancelled for being human and caring. I am disgusted and appalled at his removal. It’s wrong on every level. This is not antisemitism this is a powerful political lobby group silencing all of us with threats. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
