I think the rot set in when Omar Beckles was ostracised in September 25. Leaving a popular player out to dry was always going to tricky and from that point on Wellens seems to have lost the dressing room, no matter who he seems to buy? #lofc

LEST WE FORGET…❤️ Today we remember O’s legend Richard McFadden who was killed during the Battle of the Somme, having been seriously wounded by a shell-blast on 22nd October 1916, which resulted in his death in a field hospital the following day. Once an O, always an O! #LOFC

There’s already a mixed pond ( where you ID however you like) & a men’s pond. There is zero reason for males to be in the women’s pond or women’s changing rooms. Good luck @SexMattersOrg
Sex Matters is heading to the High Court on 3rd and 4th November. We’re challenging the City of London Corporation’s decision to allow men who identify as women to use the Ladies’ Pond, including its changing rooms and showers. The City has a lawful option: keep the Ladies’ Pond for women, the Men’s Pond for men and the Mixed Pond for both sexes. We’re asking the court to hold it to the law. Support our cause: sex-matters.org/take-action/…

And where in ‘58 I bought
The HMV Shop in Oxford Street in the 60s. A Morris Minor drives by. Interesting to see the shop opening hours. They closed at 1pm Saturday and didn't open at all on Sunday. Ah, those halcyon pre-tourist days.

The Nottingham families should be allowed to grieve instead they have to fight every single day against the State because they know if they dont Calocane & others like him will face no punishment & the public will be put in harms way. Why does the British State appear to function solely to harm its own citizens
‘Over my dead body will that monster ever come out.’ Emma Webber, the mother of Nottingham attack victim Barnaby, tells @NickFerrariLBC about the moment she learned his killer could be eligible for release in January.

An amendment to the sporting events bill was defeated by Labour voting against it. @louie_french (and I as I suggested it in The Lords) Conservative shadow sports minister wanted int. events brought to this country to insist the female category is protected as the ioc does, & the uk Supreme Court ruling stipulates .. sadly Labour doesn’t seem to care if our girls get fair sport

This is absolutely INSANE! Meet Mohammed Yaseen. He was a member of an Al Qaeda group that beheaded Brit Ken Bigley. He then joined ISIS where he worked as a guard at two mass killings and a deadly public stoning. He was arrested in Germany and served nearly 5 years in prison for being a member of Isis. After he was released, Germany didn't deport him, so he broke into our country on a small boat because he heard we 'accept everyone'. He was jailed for 2 years for illegal entry, then released early after 6 months. This is despite hearing in court that he 'posed a danger to the whole of the UK' and he had a 'deep and lengthy involvement in terrorism and Islamic extremist ideology'. He's eligible for deportation, but the Foreign Office raised concerns that if we deport him to Iraq he could face 'mistreatment' for being a terrorist. He has reapplied to stay in the UK, which halts any deportation proceedings and it will cost taxpayers' £85,000 a year to keep him here. It get's worse... if and when he uses the ECHR to fight his case, we are potentially on the hook for another *£500,000* in legal aid. He's been put in a bail hostel in Windsor and able to walk the streets. WHAT TF ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES?! This country is utterly broken.

Good take from the Seasiders Pod: their pessimism over @BlackpoolFC's defence will meet @leytonorientfc's dismal home record. Blackpool are leaky in defence, conceding the 2nd highest no. of SOT and highest no. of corners in the division. If only #LOFC could score from corners.
