Russian interference In France we had antisemitic tags, fake coffins etc. organised by Russia, executed for little money by non-professional operatives from the Balkans. In the UK, this kind of Russian interference has now escalated to payment offered for anti-Muslim graffiti, knife attacks.. 1/2

Random thoughts of The West Wing and beautiful pens used to sign things being given as gifts.

Today's Arsenal scan is from September 1956 and is of that year's charity challenge match against RC Paris. The picture shows Jimmy Bloomfield chasing down the ball opposed by Roger Marche. The Arsenal won 4-3.

Today's Arsenal scan is of a very happy Vic Groves in his Walthamstow Avenue days (March 1954). As you can see from the back the photo got a lot of use.

Today's Arsenal scan is from the 1950 FA Cup Semi-Final replay against Chelsea at some dump in North London. Arsenal keeper George Swindin grabs hold of the ball off the feet of Chelsea player Campbell.

Today's Arsenal scan is from the home FA Cup match against Doncaster Rovers in January 1953 and shows Doug Lishman scoring Arsenal's first past a stranded Kenneth Hardwick in the Donny goal.

Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents, embedding neoliberalism in housing. Increasing asset value at the point of sale, costs are born by increasing tenants rents or by replacing them with richer tenants. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Britain's national media largely parrots the policy lines of the state in its reporting on Ukraine, as we would expect. Issues such as the use of UK-supplied depleted uranium and neo-Nazi forces operating in Ukraine have been mainly ignored. 👉 declassifieduk.org/tag/ukraine/

I genuinely don't understand how people don't see that Reagan and Putin are the same fucking guy: self-aggrandizing, self-interested, racist imperialist queerphobic authoritarians. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Judging by experience of them both opposing the far right they're both far more likely to bend over than actually influence Trump.

On this day 1935, a whopping 79,491 fans packed into Maine Road to watch top of the table Arsenal draw 1-1 with third place Manchester City.

Tedious fuck who enabled this very darkening shadow.

Stephen Fry is going to be shocked, shocked I tell you, when he finds out who Stephen Fry pals around with

Today's Arsenal scan is of Ron Greenwood at the new Arsenal training centre in 1960. Trialing new equipment he kept in contact with players via lightweight receivers (under their armpits) and earpieces. Used in a practice match, it wasn't deemed a success.

This scene has echoed in my head on a loop over the last few weeks.

Today's Arsenal scan is from the 1950 FA Cup Semi against Chelsea and shows future butcher Pete Goring chasing down the ball. Also the photo was used for the Picture Post FA Cup Final feature.

1988/89. Martin Hayes started 3 league games and came on about a dozen times. He scored one goal...but without that one goal Anfield would have been impossible. 1997/98. Chris Wreh started 7 league games (9 as sub) and scored 3 (2 in 1-0 wins) + winner in semi. 2024/25. Raheem Sterling...

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020. OFGEM's marginal pricing rules guarantee profits to the most inefficient/costly producer. 1 in 5 of all deaths are people in fuel poverty – including 110,000 pensioners. No curbs on profiteering. Real wages cut. WFP cut. Cost of living soaring.

Today's Arsenal scan is from the home game against Leicester in August 1958 and shows 'little' Jimmy Bloomfield rather dwarfed by Leicester keeper MacLaren.

He IS a dictator. Banning opposition parties, martial law, staying in office when his term has ended and refusing elections. Ticks plenty of the boxes but he's NATO's Johnny on the spot so they pretend he isn't 'cos £$£$£$£$. Ukraine is the biggest money scam of a generation.
