If Leicester City are relegated to League One, it opens up a whole new league's worth of fans mishearing and raging about this chant from the Blue Army. Just to confirm, once again, they sing 'Champions of England, you made us sing that' in honour of Khun Vichai. #LCFC 🦊

Remarkable tonight, as FIFA go on record to accuse New Jersey of a “chilling effect” on the World Cup with high transit prices. That is the FIFA of unprecedentedly high match tickets, $300 car park spaces, 30% cut on every exorbitantly sold ticket on their own resale platform.

We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.

This is exactly how I feel. Crushed I can’t take my kids to experience this. Not looking for handouts but $400 for Ivory Coast v Curaçao when a 1/3 of stadium is empty is so greedy

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/ne…

Imagine being so disconnected from the vitality of what football is that you watch that "goal" in the #LIVMCI game and then arrive at this. These people are AI football fans. Or like pub bores who will tell you the route you've driven to somewhere was actually the wrong way.

The ongoing building safety/service charge, which has ruined the lives of millions, continues to be one of the great political scandals of our time. It remains astonishing how many young people and families continue to be left in limbo and face crippling costs. If this (largely) affected pensioners, we’d talk of little else.

I joked yesterday, but Leicester need and want an experienced head as manager — Nigel Pearson clearly ticks all those boxes. He’s retains a deep affection for the club and significant support among supporters. I don’t believe he’s been approached or spoken to. Surely you would?

Loud groans from freeholders as the government eyes retrospective action on ground rent, which after they were prospectively banned in 2022, have left many existing leases duds. Tiny violins all around. If freeholders rely on "money for nothing" to stay solvent and to discharge their legal duties—they don't—then they need to re-think their business model.

She’s right

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram. 100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show. I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell. You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures. Here is the actual science of what you are watching: 1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk. 2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time. 3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate. 4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared. 5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed. Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit. They didn't die because of Instagram. They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.
