I wonder how irreversibly cooked our brains are as the first generation of men to have memorized the geography of non-existent spaces. I'm far from the only one who can tell you exactly where this is located.

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
SAS soldiers are resigning in significant numbers over fears they will be subjected to “witch hunts” by human-rights lawyers.
Multiple sources have claimed that personnel from across 22 SAS, the Army’s most elite fighting force, have applied for premature voluntary release.
The Telegraph is withholding the exact figure for security reasons. However, several SAS sources have described the recent losses as “significant” and a “threat to national security”.
At least two squadrons, D and G, are believed to have been affected, with insiders saying outrage over recent war crime probes into Afghanistan and Syria, which have been branded “witch hunts”, are believed to be the main driving forces.
Among those understood to have resigned include several senior warrant officers, who are the backbone of the special forces and among the most experienced troops in the regiment. A number are understood to have applied for release “on principle” just before Christmas.
“Morale is s--t at the moment,” one insider with knowledge of the recent losses told me, while another said there was “considerable disquiet” in the regiment as a result.
The SAS resignations are a major blow to the famed special forces unit, which is the tip of the spear in any military operation and is deployed globally.

@BoyGeekDrone @cezthesocialist Actually very little of it going on relatively within the supply

@cezthesocialist Feels accurate. The thing that puts me off cannabis is the slave labour used to grow it. Can't support that.

@JeremyArnold31 @Sanny_Rudra @buryfcofficial Outpriced, and alienated by a club that for decades had near zero regard for supporters as anything other than customers who's loyalty is guaranteed. Local Radcliffe FC has also grown crowds massively since for similar reasons: actually providing something satisfying to support.

@Sanny_Rudra @buryfcofficial Genuone question. Where were they when Bury were at a much higher level and successful? As I recall you got promoted from L2 with crowds of 2,000 immediately before being kicked out of the legaue

@The_Forty_Four Would happen in any country if a big club got relegated to the lower leagues

@buryfcofficial fucking shit and useless according to half the crowd at 1-0 down

@Martyn689908 @ben_brumby Terminated in light of "non-football related reports" according to their statement. Would love to know what the reports are...

@BRATTYBARBl That’s not how it works I’m afraid

Obsessed with the fact he's been a PC for 25 years… surely he should be DCI Plum by now.

@whitebluearmy @TraMufc class concious WBA and they say we're not woke
English
@TraMufc It’s why clubs such as Bury are getting larger crowds and we’ve seen a major increase in younger fans being stood in our section, young people can’t simply afford premier league football and being honest aren’t that interested.
We can have a pint on the terrace and the freedom
English
Strip out the club specific language and this can be applied to any Club, including - and especially - Manchester United. We've been banging this drum for years, many fans appear to either not care or prefer to have their heads firmly in the sand. Its brilliantly articulated here. 👏
The Bobby Moore Stand@thebmstand
As someone on Spirit of Shankly pointed out, this is just the original concept for the Premier League being delivered. The vision was to move football up a couple of social classes, which to me means price out the less wealthy and encourage a "better" class of clientele with more disposable income. They focused only on the vast riches the PL would bring and they were right. However that model only works long term with regeneration of new fans. It works if you are never gonna get relegated because the group of die hards whose loyalty and love for the club could not be quantified on a balance sheet, have already left and they are now doing something else with their match days. Most of them likely realise that it's quite useful getting the time back and similar to when you break up with an ex, there is rarely any going back. Without the diehards, who indoctrinated the next generation into being obsessed with the team, where does the next generation of fans come from? Good luck convincing a young person to spend what little they have left after paying their rent and other increasing costs, to allocate a big chunk of what's left for an overpriced season ticket. Not happening, football is not high on the importance scale when you can watch every game on telly. As for the "better" clientele they attracted, they will abandon ship as quickly as they arrived come any form of hard times. What the clubs are doing right now with ticket price rises is simply ensuring that they have no loyal die hard fanbase left in 10-15 years. These changes will be forever. No more capacity crowds for just playing in the PL, owners will be forced to try and actually win stuff. If they don't, goodbye fans. If they do, those fans will demand they do it again. I'm from an era that did not place expectation on clubs, we just handed over our money and went to football, because that is the way it was. I'm still clinging on but with next year being my 50th watching West Ham and having been banned this season for breaching health and safety, I'm pretty sure it will be my last one. Unless the owners who fucked my club up completely, finally get the message and fuck off back to their mansions. The people who own clubs know the square root of fuck all about the generations of fans who helped build that club to be the thing it was before they demolished everything they inherited. They do not comprehend love or loyalty because in their world, those things are cash transactions. Football as we knew it is on life support, but the owners won't realise until one day they look around that vast stadium and see a handful of fans watching the latest pile of average they decided to serve up. #BSOUT

@lukejoelfish9 These kinds of numbers where always there and available to us but successive owners and their lackies saw to it that we never tapped in to this
English
The following we’ve got now in comparison to the football league at home sometimes is actually incredible to say we’ve maintained the support and added to it #buryfc

@GavWilson @YorkSMC Think if they don't issue bans the consequences for the club as a whole are worse
English
This is insane. Those boards are literally designed to fall forward like that so they don’t cause any safety issues in this exact situation. @YorkSMC have fully lost the plot here. The crowd did absolutely nothing wrong. #YCFC

@AaronBastani It's not 'wrong-think' it is treachery plain and simple

“British ex-policeman stripped of citizenship over Russia links”.
This is really bad. And inevitable. A white British guy stripped of his nationality for wrong-think. Hopefully the right pay attention….

@Ludd1885 For the avoidance of doubt, do you disagree with Park's politics, or are you just a racist?

One thing politically I've always believed we needed is a proper north Korean willing to stand up to all the Juche Kimilsung-kimjongillists plaguing this town

My name is now officially on the ballot for Moorside Ward — the campaign begins. After escaping north Korea, I know what real freedom means. Bury deserves better than declining services under Labour. Vote Conservative. 🇬🇧💙

The Green Party has become a magnet for antisemites. The Labour left learned the hard way how to deal with that - seems Zack isn't bothered - and thousands of decent Green Party members now getting the reputational blowback ...

.@ZackPolanski wants to talk about shared values. But let’s talk about shared leaflets, platforms, and campaign launches with Bernard Mani. What was it about all that bad press that suddenly changed his mind- when his views had been out in the open for years?
