Same as over on the old bird site. But less wound up. Default mode is sarcasm. Probably. Sports-wise: LFC, Ulster Rugby and Lanky.

From the Guardian / PA Alf-Inge Haaland: Norway were 'robbed' Alf-Inge Haaland claims Norway were “robbed” in their World Cup quarter-final but hopes England go on to win the tournament after knocking out his homeland. The former Leeds midfielder and father of Manchester City striker Erling said Thomas Tuchel’s side were “saved by the referee” in their 2-1 win in Miami. Norway had a goal by Torbjorn Heggem, which would have put them 2-1 up, ruled out after Erling Haaland pushed over Elliot Anderson at a corner. In response to a post on X by journalist Henry Winter, Haaland senior wrote: “Saved by the referee. Hope you win the WC now. But feel we got robbed today.” In an earlier post, referring to Jude Bellingham’s match-winning second goal, he wrote: “Well done Bellingham and referee”. Haaland senior had earlier been seen on television sticking two fingers up at someone in the crowd after suggesting Djed Spence had dived to win a penalty which was subsequently overturned after a VAR intervention.
The Southport murders of three young girls, the Nottingham stabbings, and Manchester Arena bombing could all have been stopped if public authorities had not feared being called racist, Badenoch argued during a speech in which she cited the incidents as examples of where equalities law had gone too far.

She said: “This case is not simply about my own experience. I am pursuing it because I believe that no person in Britain should be denied opportunities because of the colour of their skin. I believe strongly that equality before the law must apply to everyone. Through this case, I hope to challenge practices that discriminate on racial grounds and to reinforce the principle that fairness and equal treatment should apply to all.”

“Ownership is very important,” Trump said, adding: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do with, you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document.”

UKIP leader doing a nazi salute. He denies it obviously, but he’s still a cunt.
Shortly after Thought for the Day was broadcast, Jenrick posted on X: “On BBC Radio 4 this morning listeners were told that if you’re concerned about the threat of illegal migrants to your kids, you’re racist. Wrong. You’re a good parent.”
Speaking on Wednesday’s episode of the Today programme, Kandiah quoted from the Mail on Sunday. “[Jenrick] said: ‘I certainly don’t want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally, and about whom we know next to nothing.’ These words echo a fear many have absorbed. Fear of the stranger. The technical name for this is xenophobia.”
