This week Steve Dale appeared in court charged with 6 counts of fraud... This is what we all did 💙 #buryfc

Up the Bloody Shakers! Neild and Rusty 😍 #buryfc

@LaurenceRead3 Exactly what we’ve been crying out for in the middle for ages. Pure class.

Brilliant win again lads. Keep them coming, watching on from Madeira. How bloody good is Nield btw 👌, the guy literally smells danger and then deals with it so composed. #buryfc

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it

The footballing equivalent of employing Prince Andrew to look after your teen daughters. God help Rotherham. #RUFC #buryfc

Nowt better.

Radcliffe FC, in the sixth tier of English football in National League North, lost £807k last year, that’s £15,500 a week. It was £674k the previous season. Club is trading due to increased borrowings as long term debt exceeds £2.1m

@MarkHowsham Personal preference would have been the gold/ any other colour just around the collar and the sleeve- that would have been smartest IMO. But at the end of the day it’s a shirt- who cares as long as we win in it!

@GT1490 Prefer the light blue detail, said Bury FC more IMO

FINALLY pin stripes. Class has been restored. #buryfc

Flat all over the pitch and tactically far too narrow second half when the game was crying out for width. A shocker all round- simply have to respond with a strong performance and a win next week #buryfc

Here’s a clear explanation of why Trump attacked Iran, and why I think the war will end soon. The war isn't about nuclear weapons. It's not about helping the Iranian people. It’s not about doing Israel’s bidding. And it's not about Iran being a threat to the U.S. It's about China. China imports 45-57% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has the capacity to shut it down. A U.S.-aligned Iran means an Iran that would choke off that strait if there's ever a real power struggle between Washington and Beijing. And there already is one. The U.S. and China have been locked in a tariff war for over a year now. Also remember when China threatened export controls on rare earths, encompassing any company anywhere in the world that uses Chinese rare earths? Yes, China essentially said that any company that uses their rare earths (China refines 85-90% of the world’s supply) must seek their permission before exporting their products. This means if a German manufacturer uses rare earths fro China to create chips for American companies, China can block the export of these chips. That’s how much leverage China has over the U.S., and that’s dangerous, especially if China finally decides to reunify with Taiwan. So controlling the Strait of Hormuz becomes critical for the U.S. It's the same reason Trump wants China out of the Panama Canal. The same reason Venezuela matters. The same reason he's eyeing Greenland, where shipping routes to China pass through melting Arctic ice. Energy is everything now. The AI arms race is the most important strategic competition on the planet. Limiting China's access to energy is how the U.S. wins that race, and anyone who believes in freedom and democracy should want America to win. China is investing heavily in domestic energy, building nuclear reactors, solar farms, wind power. They're leapfrogging the rest of the world. But they still import the majority of their oil. And a significant chunk of it comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran was reportedly nearing a deal for supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles from China, which would make it easier for Iran to threaten shipping in the Strait and strike U.S. naval vessels. That accelerated the timeline. Trump's comment today about doing in Iran what he did in Venezuela makes perfect sense in this context. He wants influence over who comes next. A regime that's workable for Washington. If he succeeds, this would be a massive strategic win for the U.S. and for Trump.

If Dubai gets levelled then they can't even check dental records for identification because they've all got the same set??

Up the bloody Shakers!!

Most people I grew up with supported United, City or Liverpool. I grew up supporting Bury. I dreamed of wearing the shirt for my boyhood club. I fell short at 16. This week, I’ve been given the honour of managing the club I’ve always loved. Dreams really do come true ⚪️🔵

Is it resignation time yet? Here’s Mandy, Keir Starmer sings the Barry Manilow classic to Peter Mandelson, as the Epstein scandal refuses to fade into the background. {satire}

The Palestine Action thugs are “not guilty”. This is what Britain has come to. You can ram a factory’s doors with a truck. You can smash everything and attack security. You can break a police officer’s back with a sledgehammer when she is on the floor. And you can walk away scot free if you did it “for Palestine”. How far does this impunity go? Can you paralyse for Palestine? Can you put someone in a coma for Palestine? Can you kill for Palestine? With a verdict like this, how long before we find out? Pressure was put on the jury. They even complained to the judge about the posters encircling the court building. But the judge told them to keep calm and carry on. In the end they found them “not guilty” on some charges, and failed to reach a verdict on others. The defendants walked free from court. Look at this video. Look at this still from the police officer’s body-worn camera as the sledgehammer rained down on her. Which of us can look at the collapse of this trial and have any confidence that justice would come to protect us when we need it? It’s horrifying. Today both the sword and the scales fell from the hands of Lady Justice. Whatever was left of British fair play, tolerance, decency, and respect for the rule of law lies in tatters. @CPSUK there must be a retrial. What a state this country has fallen to, and still it plummets further each day. If Britain keeps calm, carries on, and slumbers on through many more wake up calls there will be nothing left of the society we once knew. There will be nothing left to fight for. Wake up.
