📜 150 years ago today, on November 4th 1876, Andrew Hughes played for Hibs against Edinburgh Swifts on The Meadows.
On his way home to Cowgate, he intervened to protect a woman being attacked. Hughes was struck on the head and died five days later, aged just 21.

54. An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class by @ewangibbs. This variegated portrait of working class Britain since the 1960s is as an urgent rejoinder to myths that plague our current political discourse, restoring workers as agents of their own history.

Sentences you should never hear. Sentences that bring satisfaction to the most inane dullard Barclaysmen which southern England has to offer. Sentences that signal the end of all that is good and sacred.

Sometimes theatre throws up performances where you can almost see the actor ‘act’. At other times the actor totally inhabits a character such that you really get sense of who that character is (for example, see @markthannah ‘Athens’ monologues). Scott is 🔥 here. Beautiful.
Andrew Scott delivers this speech too slowly; I know some viewers will hate the way he breaks up the verse. AND YET even in spite of that I think this is the best delivery of this soliloquy I’ve ever seen.
He makes it sound like it’s not a portentous speech everyone already knows but a morally serious real-time deliberation, by a highly intelligent person in extreme pain, considering what it would mean to end his own life.

1994 was important. The World Cup 'in America' might change some things.
Meanwhile the auld Brit clubs were rebuilding...
