At a push, some pink custard thrown over walls, or semolina smeared.

Tonight’s undercover ITV documentary will create more headlines. Thing is Laila, it’s not just a few people is it? https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/farage-joked-racism-claims-reform-documentary-5Hjdk4x_2/ It’s your leadership, deputy mayors, hundreds of elected councillors since before the 2024 GE saying these fascist things which Nick Griffin wouldn’t have thought twice about, not to mention the everyday members and clear empathy whatever Farage says towards Tommy Robinson and Raise the Colours.

Best way is to tactically vote at scale and spread the word to keep tech-funded autocratic populism out. GOP under Trump, Musk and Vance, Reform UK, Restore and Raise the Colours, National Front, AFD are all part of the same branch of Silicon Fascism. Tech control of populations, their essential services and democracies, asset-stripping blended with extreme and violent racism and rhetoric. Hungarians did it, throwing out Orban, a hero to all of the above, so no excuse for Americans, Brits, Canadians, Australians, NZ (flush your government away Kiwis) 🥝, Germans or French not to follow suit to keep out/throw out. Russia is behind a great deal of it in influence and finance. And it suits China. It’s not a coincidence that former leadership figures for Reform UK are serving prison time for kickbacks from Moscow. The Labour Party had a massive issue on its left in the early 1980s with the Soviets worming their way in but were defeated in the short term by a combination of the right of their party (see Kinnock’s 1985 conference attack on Militant), MI5, and longer-term by Reagan and Thatcher. Burnham doesn’t have that transatlantic ally Maggie had, so what emerges from the Democrats after the mid-terms will be critical in limiting Trump’s active support for Putin and ensuring a Democrat president to box the tech boys in during 2028. What’s encouraging is what a huge issue data centres have become in red states during these mid-term races. As a result, we could see states going blue for the first time since the 1930s added to the impact and tariffs and Trump and Kushner’s war.

And Musk, and other tech bros agenda is laid bare here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckx2dgq8jljjo Buy democracy, and control citizens. Only even the Americans, astonishingly, don’t seem to be buying the scam this time around.

Nothing new though, when we had STs in Kingsland North before moving to the Northam, then Itchen as we got older, in the early-mid 00s every home game without fail around the hour mark, someone/people a few rows back would light and smoke a reefer. Wasn’t as strong as Skunk, but you knew what it was unmistakably.

Dawson from red ball. Orr to Middx for starters, Fuller going although he’s replaced by Fynn-Prentice probably. Quite a few who were out of contract as well.

They’ve just nicked the Rose Garden Sunday Morning idea from Hegseth and Trump. MAGA UK branch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr3elnevylywo

European ambassadors attacked with iron bars by lunatic Israeli settlers. Strong condemnation without qualification from the IDF and Foreign Ministers but no surprise Netanyahu excusing and enabling it, and probably along with Ben Givr somehow behind it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c962ydpmjm3zo

Like Dobbin at PNE, Tom Fellows looked a shadow of the vibrant WBA version yet again. With BBD, at least he’d had a shocker at Villarreal beforehand. Can’t just be down to the individual players that they arrive confident and look emasculated and completely shorn of confidence in a Southampton shirt within months of arrival.

Keepers only make mistakes if you shoot at the goal with basic accuracy or test them with crosses which have whip/pace on them/attack them, none of which happened.

Muamba perhaps is indicative of the players around him in pre-season. But with Dobbin the club have to work out how PNE got a tune out of him and whether the shape/formation/pattern needs to change and whether that’s worth doing. He’s been tried in three different positions and bar the OK second half midweek has looked like a fish up a tree. No lack of effort and seems like a decent lad but if the question was ‘who can rotate with #10 with Finn?’ he is not the answer. And not at a fee which should have bolstered the forward line.

Give the lad a try. Tonda doesn’t fancy Muamba and Dobbin a total waste of a shirt. Can’t do any worse and his name will terrify Blackmore and Tessem!

Didn’t need to spend £9m on Dobbin though who isn’t even performing when used a #10 let alone wide or up front. Today was the day to try Muamba again but becoming crystal clear Tonda doesn’t trust him or he isn’t training well. Didn’t even need to be Lankshear, could’ve been Tolaj or someone half-decent. Third of the cost of Dobbin/whatever he’s meant to be.

That’s one heck of a floater to leave in the team bath.

Edozie has done alright last two games. Long way still from what he was before Jack Stacey hacked him, but progress and at least he’s actually going at full backs and getting to the by line. Should have had an assist today but he crossed to an idiot.
