Often guilty of overpruning the roses. Not easily deterred. Always willing to laugh, especially at myself!

@hellionese @IpswichTown We have a catalogue of those ourselves. We never get handed non-penalty’s though. Just seem to go against us.
English

@AdamGoldsack @IpswichTown I guess you haven’t paid close attention to the legit penalties that weren’t called in our favour.
English

@hellionese @IpswichTown You have literally been handed 2 non-penalties in the last 2 games.
English

@C__Overfield @IpswichTown Honest critique of the game and my team. We have had several calls against us. This time we had one in our favour for a change that I acknowledge was a soft pen. And posted on the Ipswich Town forum so no rage bait.

@hellionese @IpswichTown This has to be rage bait 😂 amount of dodgey decisions I’ve seen you have

@IwanEvans19 @IpswichTown I expect nothing less from a Boro fan. Boo hoo for you.

@hellionese @IpswichTown Helen you’re terrible at football analysis as well as Darts

🚨Sunday Times investigation today:
Richard Tice’s companies appear to have failed to pay £100,000+ in corporation tax on profits, while funnelling over £1 million in donations to Reform UK.
Tice calls it a “technicality” but critics say it looks like aggressive tax avoidance benefiting both him personally and his party.
The party that campaigns hardest against the establishment and tax avoidance now finds itself accused of exactly that.

At least six times. Six separate occasions on which the President of the United States went cap in hand to Europe, asking for help with a war he started alone, announced on social media at two in the morning, and apparently planned during a commercial break.
Six times. Let’s count.
One. Mid-March, Trump publicly demanded Britain, France, Germany, Japan and South Korea send warships to the Strait of Hormuz. The strait he had just helped close by launching a war nobody was warned about.
Two. Two days later, still ringing around. Still blasting allies for their “reluctance.” Still threatening NATO would have a “very bad future” unless they showed up with minesweepers.
Three. He asked Italy for use of Sigonella air base in Sicily. Italy said no. The planes were already in the air when they found out.
Four. He asked Spain for air bases and airspace. Spain said no. Then closed its airspace entirely. Trump threatened to cut off all trade with Spain. Spain’s prime minister told him he was “playing Russian roulette with the destiny of millions.”
Five. He accused France of refusing to let supply planes fly over French territory. France said it never received a proper request. Trump called France “very unhelpful” and said the US would “remember.”
Six. After peace talks collapsed in April, he announced a blockade and said other countries would “be involved.” Britain specifically told the BBC they would not.
Then the strait reopened, and Trump announced that NATO had called HIM, begging to help. He told them to stay away. “Paper Tiger,” he wrote. About an alliance he had spent six weeks desperately trying to mobilise.
One analyst put it neatly. Trump’s position, he said, was a new doctrine:
“We broke it, but you own it.”
He started a war without consulting his allies, then demanded they take responsibility for the consequences .
He did not talk to Congress, the American people, or his NATO partners before launching .
He simply blew things up and started making calls.
Six requests. Six rejections. One catastrophically expensive war that nobody else wanted any part of.
You reap what you sow.

Nine years ago today, 32-year-old Philando Castile was pulled over by a police officer for a broken taillight outside of St. Paul, Minnesota. Philando was a licensed gun owner who informed the officers that he was exercising his right to carry. The officer responded by shooting him in seconds.
Philando worked as a cafeteria supervisor at a nearby elementary school. His mother, Valerie, said he “was loved by his coworkers and the children he served… He knew all 500 children by name, their allergies and PIN numbers… He was an extraordinary person.”
A traffic stop should not be a death sentence for Black men but, in America, it’s an all-too-common reality. We remember Philando and hold his loved ones in our hearts as we fight to end the scourge of gun violence that disproportionately takes Black lives.

Sec. Kennedy: Mercury is absolutely—it’s the most powerful neurotoxin we know of in the universe.
Rep. Harder: So why are you working for an administration that is doubling the amount of mercury pollution in our air and water?
Sec. Kennedy: I am running HHS and I’m ending the chronic disease epidemic. I’m not going to comment on that because I don’t know anything about it.
Rep. Harder: Well, that’s very convenient for you, and it shows a significant degree of cowardice. It’s not just mercury. President Trump in July 2025 granted 50 chemical plants—
Sec. Kennedy: Why don’t you ask me something that I’m in charge of instead of other things?
Rep. Harder: Are you not in charge of Health and Human Services?

I’m not a Catholic, but wouldn’t it be great if we could get #Ilovethepope trending as he’s plainly a good, decent, principled human being, and, on Musk’s platform, this will annoy a lot of powerful, evil people. Do please repost.

1/2
Death #25
He was a U.S. citizen.
He was unarmed.
And ICE shot him anyway.
Three bullets.
Through his driver’s side window.
At point-blank range.
Ruben Ray Martinez was 23 years old.
He worked at an Amazon warehouse.
He loved cars, video games, UFC fights.
He was the light of his family’s home.
He went to South Padre Island to celebrate his birthday.
He never came back.
________________________________________
On March 15th, 2025—just after midnight—Ruben and his best friend came upon an accident scene on South Padre Island.
There had been a crash.
Local police were there.
So were federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which operates under ICE.
Not responding to a violent crime.
Not stopping a terrorist.
They were directing traffic.
________________________________________
What happened next lasted seconds.
ICE agents surrounded Ruben’s car.
They shouted conflicting commands—one telling him to move forward and another telling him to stop.
One agent moved to his window.
Another moved near the front of the vehicle—the controversial “Death Box” tactic, placing himself directly in the car’s path.
And then—
An ICE supervisor fired three shots into Ruben’s chest.
No standoff.
No chase.
No escalation.
Just a 23-year-old American citizen dying in his car.
________________________________________
After the shooting, the federal government offered a justification.
The Department of Homeland Security said Ruben had “intentionally run over” an agent.
The agent who fired the shots later wrote that he feared a “terrorist-style mass-casualty attack.”
That framing matters.
Because it turns a seconds-long roadside encounter into something else entirely—
a justification built on the fear of mass violence.
And once that label is applied, the use of deadly force becomes easier to defend—
even if the underlying facts are unclear.
________________________________________
But now we have the video.
And it tells a different story.
Ruben’s car was not speeding.
It was not charging forward.
It was barely moving—if moving at all.
His brake lights were on when the shots were fired.
Witness testimony says he did not hit anyone.
No officer was seriously injured.
No mass-casualty threat existed.
What the video shows is chaos. Confusion. Tight space.
And then—
Gunfire.
________________________________________
After Ruben was shot, it got worse.
Agents dragged him out of the car.
Forced him face down onto the ground.
Handcuffed him.
He lay there—
not receiving immediate medical care—
even though paramedics were already on scene.
Minutes passed before aid was given.
He later died at the hospital.
________________________________________
And then—
The truth was buried.
For nearly 11 months, the federal government did not publicly disclose that ICE had killed Ruben Ray Martinez.
They knew.
They documented it internally within days.
But they did not tell the public.
It only came out after outside groups forced the records into the open.
________________________________________
Ruben’s mother has been clear:
Her son was not violent.
He was not aggressive.
He was not a threat.
“He was the light of our house.”
And now he is gone.
________________________________________
There was one person who saw everything.
Ruben’s best friend.
He was in the car that night.
He was there when the shots were fired.
He was the only civilian witness to what happened inside that vehicle.
He could have told the grand jury what Ruben said.
What Ruben did.
Whether he was trying to comply.
But he never got the chance.
Before he could testify, Ruben’s best friend died in a separate car accident in early 2026.
And with him—
went the only firsthand civilian account of what happened in those final seconds.
Before his death, he provided his attorney with a written statement:
