my new podcast series THE ENGLISH DISEASE is out now, wherever you get that sorta thing.
it's about the legacy of football hooliganism in English society: why people were drawn to it & what happened when we were told they all went away.

it’s a total failure as a magazine cover story, but this fascinating non-event says more about the psychology of Tom Cruise than any access-all-areas profile could
Presenting GQ’s October global cover star: Tom Cruise.
It’s been 20 years since @TomCruise last appeared on the cover of GQ, and, in some ways, he’s living like it’s 2006 again.
He's taking his riskiest creative swing in decades in #DiggerMovie—and delivering GQ a rare in-depth (on-camera!) interview gq.visitlink.me/vpo-E1
was a pleasure doing the concept and creative direction for this one, with @SunderlandAFC and @_greenfootball
🔙 In 2023, successive storms destroyed parts of Roker Pier, our beloved local landmark.
Maureen is a lifelong Sunderland supporter and volunteer tour guide for the Roker Pier.
To mark #GreenFootballsGreatSave, Maureen tells us her story. 💚

Whenever I read an interview with Danny Dyer, it's the funniest and most insightful interview I've read in ages. This by @SamDiss is no exception. gq-magazine.co.uk/article/da…

immensely proud of how this has turned out, and this last episode is probably the most personal and vulnerable story i’ve ever told. plz have a listen wherever you listen to these things.
Sam returns to east London to confront some home truths and speaks to someone who might hold the key to understanding the English Disease…

English football culture used to take pride in working class clubs in the middle of low income cities. I can’t stand this loser mindset of looking down on something you THINK you’re above, usually behind an anonymous social media account.
Glad Watford got battered today.

I am not a football fan. I have never witnessed football-related violence. But my goodness @SamDiss’s podcast THE ENGLISH DISEASE is brilliant. That is how you tell a story.

How dare you. British slaveowners were compensated to the equivalent of near £20 BILLION in today’s money, drawing a debt that was only paid off, by taxpayers, in 2015. Gladstone’s father received one of the largest individual payouts, equivalent to £80m today. Shall I continue?
