Here we go again. I'm not complaining about the investment but the fact that it didn't come from the UK government. Do we expect every region to rely on overseas countries for development ? No that's not going to happen. The UK government should be investing in regions.

Turns out anything that Burnham did as Manchester Mayor was financed by the UAE not the UK.

Well, quite. It is stupid and vague term that could mean anything from highly structured talk to having a bit of a chat to whatever sin the speaker wishes cover for.

THE PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE RACE HAS JUST BEGUN! 😭🏆 Arsenal lost to Brighton, and suddenly, the whole world started predicting a Manchester City title win. But one thing I know about this Arsenal side is that whenever Mikel Arteta loses a game, he has a habit of responding with a winning streak. We might not see another defeat until 2027, that's typical Arteta over the years 😭 And remember, October is historically one of Arsenal's strongest months. Now look at the numbers. 👀 Enzo Maresca spent £450M in his first season at Manchester City and has 21 points after eight matchweeks. Mikel Arteta spent £150M last summer and, despite all the injuries, has the same 21 points after just seven Premier League matches. The weekend's results? 🔵 Chelsea lost 2-0 to Tottenham. 🔵 Manchester City lost 2-1 to Aston Villa. 🔴 Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 at the Emirates. This week, football won. The clubs facing serious financial scrutiny couldn't find their feet, while Arsenal kept collecting points. One day, everyone will have to confront reality. And if there's one thing rival fans should be praying for, it's that Mikel Arteta never gets his hands on the Champions League trophy. Because if he does, the noise will be unbearable. 😭🏆 By January, I believe Arsenal could have one hand on the Premier League title, with the Champions League becoming the next major target. The title race is far from over. But Arsenal are still standing, and that's what matters. 🔴⚪️

'There is a current fashion in Anglo-American criticism of the materialist and New Historicist varieties— odd mixtures of Marx and Foucault—to condemn Wordsworth for not having remained political enough, once he had given up his early support for the French Revolution. By 1797 Wordsworth had surmounted a long political and psychic crisis, and his poems ceased to urge political solutions for social distress. “The Old Cumberland Beggar,” The Ruined Cottage, “Michael,” and Wordsworth’s other poems that depict the sufferings of the English lower classes are masterpieces of compassion and profound feeling, and only shallow ideologues could reject them on political grounds. Our new breed of academic moralists should reflect upon the reception of Wordsworth’s poems by Shelley, politically the Leon Trotsky of his day, or by radicals like Hazlitt and Keats. What Shelley, Hazlitt, and Keats marvelously realized was that Wordsworth had a miraculous genius for teaching one how to feel sympathy for those in all manner of distress. If our academic commissars knew how to read, Wordsworth might humanize them, which is the great program of his poems like The Ruined Cottage.' Harold Bloom, The Western Canon
