*THE CLUB IS BURNING AND FAN CULTURE IS BEING ATTACKED* Fan anger growing. Pressure mounting. And right on cue, the club starts leaking stories to the press about the next manager. Same old distraction tactics. Same old cowardice. Don’t fall for it. Wilcox and Berrada have overseen a shambles. Incompetent. Cowardly. Both need to go. And so do the Glazers and INEOS. Another manager won’t fix a rotten football club. Another shiny appointment won’t erase years of betrayal. A shambles of a stadium process with some unusual results not reflective of sentiment in the ground. *DON’T LET THE NOISE DISTRACT YOU FROM THE REAL PROBLEM* The ownership. The leadership. The systematic destruction of everything Manchester United once stood for. GLAZERS OUT. INEOS OUT. The 1958 πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡ͺ

Helen Zille is not being blocked from becoming the mayor of Johannesburg because she is β€œwhite” and β€œa racist”. That’s just the ruse. The political play. She is being blocked because she will uncover all the corruption and that will mean prison for some folks. They will fight tooth and nail to keep her away from the books.

Confirmation in todays Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The Labour Party in the UKs own polling in early October told them ending Brexit and supporting EU rejoin is a definite vote winner and a way to put clear blue water between Labour and the Conservatives.

Gayton McKenzie found money to take 20 fans and 20 artists to the World Cup, but where is the money for our swimmers? Olympic champions are being asked to pay R55,000 to compete. Please explain these priorities without insulting our intelligence.

dailymaverick.co.za/article/… but let’s rather spend R82 million on a bankrupt golf tour, R31 million at FIFA World Cup and R20 million on non-existent VAR instead of putting the funds into SA sport, the athletes and grass roots development. The administration of SA sport is a tragic mess of systemic corruption from the Sports Ministry down to SASCOC and the majority of the federations. I used to think Fikile Mbalula was the most arrogant, corrupt and unethical Sports Minister ever in SA but Gayton McKenzie is now right up there. Very sad for SA sport!

Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth, and anyone else who played a role in cutting off Ukraine's ability to defend itself must answer for it. Congress must get to the bottom of this.

Everyone knew about Russell Brand. Everyone knew about Diddy, R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

Β£116 billion a year - the cost of Brexit for the British people.
The OBR expects Brexit to leave UK GDP 4% lower in the long run. On a Β£2.9 trillion economy, that's approximately Β£116 billion a year in lost economic output. Our net EU contribution was around Β£8 billion annually. Shouldn't Parliament be asking whether this trade-off still makes sense?

The death of Brexit is moving very fast now, very fast. Like him or not Burnham is leading the EU rejoin process and doing it well.
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Burnham is two weeks away from burying Brexit. He will announce integration agreements worth Β£17 billion and says this is only the beginning. The EU will offer Britain youth mobility, easier agricultural trade and cooperation on emissions trading. Britain will be offered a path back to membership without an obligation to adopt the euro, guaranteeing victory in a referendum. A powerful message to Eurosceptics elsewhere; Europe’s strongest financial and technological power has taken just ten years to want to return. A demonstration of the damage populism causes. renaissanceeurope.org/insigh…

Am delighted to hear that while the PM and other political leaders were invited back to Buckingham Palace for tea following the ceremony at the Cenotaph Farage was not. Seems the King cannot stand the man.
