@thedavidseaman Nicely put, well said, RIP

It was a privilege to walk alongside this lovely human being and make such great memories together. He was an incredible goalkeeper, a brilliant teammate and training partner and a great fishing friend! My deepest condolences and much love to the Manninger family, the world has lost a safe pair of hands today 💔

@kelvmackenzie LCC is a pretty inept bunch in my opinion.

You couldn’t make this up. John Ebo, the £85,000 HR boss of Leeds city council, has emailed employees offering counselling in a “safe space” to deal with any stress employees suffer due Nigel Farage visiting the city next week. Ebo said in his mail; “No doubt you will have picked up in the news that Nigel Farage and Reform are holding an event/rally. “ I am mindful such events on colleagues and would ask that we enable safe conversations for colleagues such as Wellbeing network chats.” In turn the email was forwarded to the council’s Race Equality Staff Network who then added; “Be vigilant if you are in the city that day.” Perhaps Mr Ebo should detail to his council taxpayers what he does all day for his money as it’s clear from that email there’s not much going on either between his ears or in his department. The man’s a bloody fool.

@jeremycorbyn I’m afraid Mr Corbyn that it is the likes of you and your leftie do gooders who have gradually erased the history and heritage of this great nation, you are as far away from public opinion on this issue as anyone could possibly be.

As an Arsenal fan, I have always enjoyed our historic rivalry with Manchester Utd. Above all, I admire its identity as a diverse club with players & fans from all over the world. Jim Ratcliffe’s comments are a disgrace. Migrants aren’t the problem. Tax-dodging billionaires are.

@Askrigg_lad @jeremycorbyn @D_CE0_ As another ASKRIGG Lad I couldn’t agree with Jim more.

@jeremycorbyn @D_CE0_ Sir Jim Ratcliffe is absolutely correct in everything he says, and every normal British citizen agrees with him. We have to live with it - the Westminster Blob doesn’t.

@ColinBrazierTV Very well put Colin, quite how we have been led to a place where opinion dare not be expressed I can hardly believe, what sort of sick society have we created.

A rose, said Shakespeare, smells the same whether you call it a rose or not. Jim Ratcliffe has apologized for using the word 'colonisation' to describe the impact of mass migration on Britain. But he stands by his sentiments. And the truth is that many of us share his unease. We suspect that the whiff of Salem rising from the response to his semantic choices deliberately misses the point. When I return to my home-town of Bradford, what word should I use to describe its utter transformation? When I see an urban landscape thicketed by minarets and populated by female silhouettes in niqabs, I wonder what word my late-grandparents - who spent all their lives in Bradford - would use to describe the process that has happened there and for which democratic assent was neither sought nor given. White flight? Displacement? And not just in northern cities, but in our capital too, where the white British population is now a minority. What word might our political masters be willing to approve to define this unprecedented phenomenon? Or would they rather we are simply lost for words. As Orwell explains in his glossary to 1984, authoritarians seek to control expression and restrict the vocabulary we can use to describe the world around us. Because words drive liberation. A word, one which precisely describes what is happening, can give rise to a subversive thought. Which is why, from Starmer down, we are seeing a concerted effort to police language and render some words - like the one Jim Ratcliffe has been forced to apologise for - beyond the pale.

@piersmorgan Boom back you buggar ….. come on you RedDevils , is the Arsenal sphincter twitching again perhaps 😜

BOOOOOOOOOOM! 2-2. Now go win it, Arsenal.

@henrywinter I had the privilige of meeting him as a young apprentice pro at Leeds Utd in I think 1983 for a TV show called “The extraordinary people show” made at YTV,that couple of hours filming with a legendary player and him chatting to a young wannabe has stuck forever, what a gentleman

One of the many reasons why Kevin Keegan is special is that he makes other people feel special, and that's a great gift. Keegan is a footballing great who wears his greatness lightly. He’s King Kev and a man of the people. He's never forgotten his Doncaster roots, indeed is very proud of them, and the work ethic inherited from his father and grandfather, both miners. A work ethic that propelled Keegan to the top. The great smell of Brut - and sweat. That was Keegan the player. He maximised every last ounce of his talent. That's one of the many reasons he's always been so respected. Another of the many reasons why there is such an outpouring of love for Keegan, and so many messages of support as he undergoes treatment for cancer, is that as a footballer he reached for the stars with his feet firmly on the ground. Keegan is one of the greatest footballers in English and European history, a European champion with Liverpool, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner at Hamburg, a much-loved Newcastle United player and manager, and whole-hearted in his work with England as player and manager. Diego Maradona asked for his shirt after an Argentina-England game in 1980. Keegan played against Pele, George Best and Johan Cruyff. And yet he’s as down to earth as they come. In fact, he often sends himself up. He cares for people. I went to interview him once at Maiden Castle, Durham, where Newcastle were training at the time and Keegan was the manager of the Entertainers. He sent a message to say he’d come to the pavilion for a chat when training was finished. Great. I might get an early train home. A member of Newcastle’s staff mentioned that Kevin might take a while because this was a day when fans were allowed in to watch. He stepped off the pitch, and spent around an hour signing autographs, chatting away, never rushing people, just making them feel special. He dropped to his haunches so he could talk to one kid in a wheelchair, making eye contact, and having a proper chat. It meant the world to this kid that Keegan cared. He reached the pavilion, changed, and gave me 20 minutes of his time. He’s incredibly generous with his time. And there have always been so many demands on it. He tells the story that his determination to sign every autograph and meet every picture request dates back to a moment when, as a kid, he was snubbed by a Doncaster Rovers player. Keegan had waited after a Rovers game, politely approached his favourite player, and got knocked back. He’s never forgotten the hurt he felt. So he makes sure he fulfils every autograph request – no matter how long the queue. I hosted a talk with Keegan at the Cheltenham Literary Festival in 2018. He was promoting his autobiography so was obviously going to be accommodating. But, typically, he went above and beyond. Smartly suited, Keegan arrived so early that only the security guy was there. Keegan patiently chatted away with the security guy, asking him about his job, where he lived, just being friendly because that is Kevin Keegan for you. Interested in people. Good to them. Later, when the talk to the audience finished, Keegan headed into the Waterstones’ tent to sign books. The queue was huge. The Festival was closing for the night but Keegan stayed two hours to make sure everyone had their copy signed or their shirt. One lady had her Liverpool jacket signed (below). Keegan not only signed but had a joke and a laugh and a picture with them all. On Boxing Day, Keegan was at Scunthorpe United, his first club, promoting non-League football. He joined in the carols and got behind the bar, pulling pints, helping out, spreading laughter. Because that’s what Kevin Keegan does – spreads joy. And that’s one of the many, many reasons people are rooting for Kevin Keegan at this challenging time.

@UTDKara Simple for me mate , not one of them had the bollox / mental strength to wear the shirt … great players handle pressure, talent alone doesn’t cut it at the highest level , much easier to look good at small clubs where expectation levels sit lower …..what’s your theory expert ??

Antony vs Gent last night watch this and tell me there’s nothing wrong at Manchester United. Mason Greenwood, Scott McTominay, Fred, Anthony Martial, Van de Beek... The list goes on and on. x.com/Mediakarahouse…

@daveatherton Unfollowed , you ill informed moron.

This is the Headmaster of All Saints Catholic High School is Sean Pender. It's alleged the murderer of Harvey Willgoose, 15, was caught carrying a knife into school & was suspended. Pender allegedly sent out a letter to parents denying what happened. The police presence was an "educational" visit. Allowed back in he allegedly returned with a knife & fatally stabbed Harvey. During the lockdown the children were not allowed to phone home, many were confiscated.

@themichaelowen I’m afraid this sums up exactly what’s so horribly wrong about our once great nation…….people with no morale compass, no respect for others , and nothing better to do than to take up a serving officers time talking utter shit like this, baton to the balls justified for sure 👌

Agreed. An all too familiar example of the utter lack of respect many people have towards each other nowadays. The police officer shouldn’t have to be this eloquent. He should have the authority to deal with him in the old fashioned way. Where have the days gone where we were brought up to respect teachers, the police etc?

@RupertLowe10 Concentrate on proving you are capable of honouring the role you have been awarded, the sound bites and rhetoric are demeaning……..ultimately we’ll applaud when we see you can actually do a good job ……so get on with it please let’s see if you’re mouth mirrors your ability !

Rachel - the British people could not care less if the Chancellor is a man or a woman. They care if the position is filled with a competent and capable individual. You are not that individual.

@FirstLadyNot Love it , you lot getting all worked up , ever underestimate!!!

Jesus. Mary. And Joseph. And everything in the fucking stable. Men, well past their prime, being kept alive with statins, reeking of Old Spice, making a holy show of themselves in a Butlins-style, tragic cringe fest 🙄

@AnthonyAinsdale Indeed she should if she had any modicum of decency and insight into public opinion …..of course she has not !!!

Yvette Cooper did not support the police officers attacked and therefore inlight of the new CCTV footage she should resign.

@LeeAndersonMP_ @TiceRichard Call that lady to book, let’s see what she’s made of now , she should Knight this Police Officer if she’s got any modicum of decency and insight into public opinion ……get a Fucking grip Cooper

Well said @TiceRichard We must support our brave emergency workers

@allend230 Of course she should , no context, no awareness of what those police were dealing with , ladies smacked to the point of broken noses and colleagues expected to turn a blind eye!!!

@John_Berry95 And I do too sir

So when the witch hunt finally stops, are we going to see this police officer put back in uniform and serving the public? I certainly hope so! #ManchesterAirport #ManchesterPolice

@leeharris Knight the policeman , lock those fuckas up for a long time , this country is on the cusp of meltdown !

I honestly can't believe these two nasty thugs tried to play the victim when all along they knew what they did. MSM and the left lapped this up. Reinstate the suspended officer and send these two to jail... For a very long time.

@TheNorfolkLion Lock the fucka up please , it’s way way way beyond a joke now, never mind suspending a police office ….knight him for not tolerating this thugs behaviour

This is the violent Islamic animal who attacked 2 female police officers as well as smacking his own mother in the face. He should be charged and imprisoned, he’s clearly not safe in society where women exist! We expect criminal charges soon or the British public WILL stand up!

Wellity wellity wellity. Remember that policeman kicked the bloke in the head at Manchester Airport and everyone went "nooooo" and Muslims protested outside Rochdale Police Station kicking doors and chucking projectiles? Well this video apparently shows the context - a police woman is punched in the head by a man, breaking her nose. Give the police officer a promotion and a pair of steel toecaps.
