The Barbie pink away kit of 2024/25 was almost as bad. This though, is the worst of the lot. I presume the designer took LSD and had a bad trip in the 1990s which he’s never recovered from. Truly vile. Third away kit is far more salubrious https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/southampton-fc-unveils-2026-27-away-kit-as-southampton-made-campaign-continues

Reaction is priceless. The no-cost to taxpayers turns out to be $1bn of taxpayer costs in reality (something Trump and MAGA avoid). https://news.sky.com/story/us-appeals-court-blocks-donald-trumps-400m-white-house-ballroom-13570075

I think the media environment has become far too American and partisan - O’Brien is part of that issue as well - where genuine investigative journalism gets mixed up and misdiagnosed as the type of brown-nosing client journalism we see from the likes of the Mail and Guardian for political customers/donors. With this case, Jack Grove’s excellent work was written off in some quarters as a political hit job because THES and the Times Group is Murdoch owned. Whereas actually they are showing their independence as Farage has found out as his network of criminals funding him are being exposed by the Times.

Mike Ashley likes a bit of vertical drinking in London. And a good fireplace to barf in https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-40484091

On this agree, and yes, I don’t have any sympathy with him personally. Claiming others work and profiting from it is low grade behaviour and conduct.

I don’t like Fernandez but I fucking hate Henry Winter. Send him there instead with no internet connection to write his drivel. The only decent decision the DT have made in the last decade is getting rid of him.

He’s been caught out very publicly and as Saints found out last season, cheating has serious consequences. Empathy with his colleagues who have been caught up in this mess and some of whom seemingly suspected he was not what was claimed. Cambridge University leadership have further questions to answer. The positive is that Jack Grove, the journalist who investigated, brought the fraud to light, has been exonerated and it was very wrong that he was ever reported to the police https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/i-was-reported-police-over-arday-case-i-was-just-doing-my-job Nathan Confas is still vile though, blogging in 2024 that if Harvard was a true meritocracy, there would be no black Professors. Ghent are welcome to him. Now he IS racist.

If it was Rob Elliott who said it, then ironically he’s now managing in the National League! Could've been Scott Lindsey who managed him first before being sacked, later re-hired and now at York.

It wasn’t a question, in politics they call it a filibuster. Not that Parsons or Blackmore will mind.

Oh yes, Allister, Truss and Kwarteng’s budget radically transformed Britain and the Conservative Party alright. ‘The greatest budget by far of his lifetime’ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/23/kwasi-kwartengs-budget-moment-history-will-radically-transform/ Heath shitting the bed without paywall https://www.facebook.com/EconomicsForTheMany/posts/this-was-the-best-budget-i-have-ever-heard-a-british-chancellor-deliver-by-a-mas/1623151172502012/

Long, long way away from its 1980s to expenses scandal heyday. Any paper who has that weird, Truss-worshipping creature Allister Heath as Editor for 9 years is bound to be wonky and inaccurate. Here’s his latest masterpiece about his new crush, Farage https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026/08/05/joining-rupert-lowes-religious-war-would-be-electoral-suici/ The irony of what he thinks Reform is about is as misplaced as his hurrahing about the Truss and Kwarteng disaster budget.

You need to avoid Jack Ruby (Murray)

Those Cornish nats don’t take any prisoners.

Ah sorry. Basically ex-staffer from first term predicting that the chaos will intensify in his last two years even if he loses both houses and that he’ll have Vance and others on a string by trying to amend the constitution. He’s quite prepared to use serious violence to subvert democracy, hence the attempted but blocked 6 Jan ‘compensation fund’.

Company I worked for many, many years ago were doing a batch of deliveries in Frome (not too far away). They got slightly lost and wound down the cab window on their lorry to ask a local for directions (pre Sat Nav’s being common garden). In a broad Hampshire accent, one of the crew made the error of referring to as Frome (as in Rome). ’It’s Frome!’ (as in zoom) was the angry response and the enraged local promptly threw a punch through the cab window!
