@OnlyOneRaider Now that's what I call "playing it out from the back".

Micah Obiero takes us to Wembley!💙

@HungerfordTown @JordanRose_ Well deserved!

STAR MAN Here he is, tonights star man & hat trick hero @JordanRose_ Well played Rosey ⚽️⚽️⚽️

@HungerfordTown @BerksandBucksFA @RFCAcademy @JordanRose_ Congratulations Jordan and well done lads!

FULL TIME @BerksandBucksFA Semi Final Hungerford Town 4 - 3 @RFCAcademy @JordanRose_ HAT TRICK & Thomas Conteh a ⚽️ We are into the final!

@NeilDotObrien He most certainly is. 🤣

Speaker intervening twice on the PM's total failure to answer the questions - Starmer just taking the mick now

Oh good god ! 🙄 With her customary discretion and light touch Angela Rayner decides to make waves just in time to bugger the May elections. If this is a leadership bid ? She’s a bigger blundering fool than I thought her.

@ElizabethBangs Dead right!

I liked Angela Rayner. But being pushed out of the limelight has damaged her. Her personal ambition is now her narrow focus. Sly, self-indulgent leadership speculation at this key moment, naively offering Trump, Reform and the right wing media a win ffs, is fkin unforgivable.

@davidkurten Fortunately, as individuals, we are not charged with making the decision.

RAF bases in England should not be used in any way for Netanyahu and Trump's war on Iran.

@IanRidley1 @Wrexham_AFC @theterras Count your blessings. You do get the privilege of playing Hungerford Town on a sunny spring Saturday. 🙂

Five years ago tonight, @Wrexham_AFC were playing my first loves Weymouth FC @theterras in the National League. There are now five divisions between them. Where's a couple of Hollywood A-listers when you need them?

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

@ConstableChaos 👍

@JohnSimmy01 Yes

If you travel along the A590 from Kendal/Sizergh towards Barrow, after the first section of dual carriageway ends, you might spot and flock of sheep in a field on your left, and with them is a single deer. There's a really good reason for this ..>

@visitnorthyork Tha looks like tha's fallen off a flittin'

What is your favourite Yorkshire saying?

@aquitainexox @Geoffrey_Cox Wouldn't make it in a provincial am/dram group. Too hammy.

This is the quality and calibre of speeches & intellect that is now so sadly lacking in Westminster. I could happily listen to the deep timbers of @Geoffrey_Cox voice all day. It’s positively Shakespearean & I’ve no doubt Winston Churchill would be smiling down at this 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧

@knuffsed @ZacGoldsmith Too fond of his own voice, whatever the merits of the subject. Don' trust him.

@ZacGoldsmith It is remarkable that David Lammy found the serious debates/speeches funny The people already feel mocked/frustrated by this govmt under Sir Keir Starmer Denying access to a jury of our peers is not a joke

This was one of the greatest speeches I’ve heard from today’s politicians. It was, as has been said, titanic. Please do listen to it. It is difficult to understand how anyone could have still felt, after hearing it, that removing a fundamental protection we all have against our often highly politicised State is the right thing to do. This will be a source of shame and embarrassment for the 304 MPs who chose to do so. But there are many more stages to go before it becomes law, and it is still possible therefore that some of the 304 will see sense and force the govt to yield.

@PeterStefanovi2 Not exactly Eisenhower either.

'This is not Churchill we're dealing with' Trump hits out at Starmer again over PM's initial response to Iran war 'By the way, I'm not happy with the UK either’ he said in the Oval Office TOUGH. UK we will only engage British armed forces when there's a legal basis to do so

@highfieldsherdy The comfort appears to be mutual. 🙂

Took some time this morning to just sit amongst the flock, something I've not done for a while. I like to think they know how much calm and comfort they bring when things are hard sometimes. With Houdini extra special, it's taken time, patience, & love #peace #herdwicks #solace

@jdzevents @kirkburtoncc Elevated circles JD! King of Spain no less.

Had a crackin’ second event with 2005 Ashes winner Ashley Giles at @kirkburtoncc on Friday night. Great atmosphere generated by an appreciative audience and some food for thought from our star speaker. Get in touch if you’d like an event with Ash at your club. #events #cricket

@HungerfordTown @PlymouthPFC Every chance of hitting the woodwork, then.🙂

We have arrived safely at the theather of trees @PlymouthPFC Lineup incoming

@Pat_Boone Thank you for your beautiful heartfelt words which reflect my own feelings.

Hello, friends. I'm saddened by the news of Neil Sedaka's passing. We grew up in the business and stayed in touch through all the years. He was a guest on my SiriusXM show and we recently just met up at the diner down the street and reminisced like old friends do. Neil wrote and recorded so many great hit songs - his grand music legacy will live on forever. #NeilSedaka #RIPNeilSedaka #MusicLegend #SongwritingLegend #RememberingNeilSedaka
