šŸšØBREAKING CROSSPOST AFTER DDOS ATTACK Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ā€˜Krasnovā€™ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman www.bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-c...

Be not afraid The UKā€™s GDP is 50% bigger than Russiaā€™s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

Iā€™m really not crazy about Twitterā€™s new logo.

Rupert Murdoch has now spent around Ā£2bn in keeping the truth about the way his news organisations operate out of the courts in the UK and US. Please donā€™t shrug and say itā€™s normal. Itā€™s not. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

This is how you do it...

šŸ—“ļøJanuary 19, 1878 is an important date in our history: Herbert Chapman was born. He would go on to revolutionise the club we know and love, both on and off the pitch - and we will never forget his work, success and innovation. Herbert Chapman: a true Arsenal legend.
