@Carefree_Jam Saliba & Gabriel start for both. So does Rodri. Reece James starts for Bayern and honestly probably PSG too

I can't think of 1 premier league player that gets into the PSG or Bayern Munich starting XIs with their style of football, movement and individual player's ball manipulation. Be objective and no gas, no idea if any do....

The removal of historical figures such as Winston Churchill from English banknotes may appear trivial to some. But it isn’t. It matters far more than many people realise. Because what we are witnessing is not an isolated decision about banknote design. It is part of something much larger: a slow but relentless erosion of our national culture, identity, and collective memory. As Professor Frank Furedi has observed, we are living through what he calls “the War Against the Past.” Across the Western world, an assortment of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion bureaucrats, radical activists, and increasingly compliant public institutions are engaged in a cultural project that seeks to delegitimise our national histories and strip away the symbols that once anchored our collective identity and memory. The pattern is now familiar. Statues are toppled. Historical figures are reframed as morally suspect or “divisive”. Public institutions rename buildings, spaces, Tube lines. School and university reading lists are “decolonised”. The past itself is rewritten to emphasise only its sins while ignoring its achievements. Even the quiet symbolism of everyday life — the images on our currency, the names of our streets, the monuments in our squares — is steadily edited and sanitised. What replaces these symbols is rarely anything meaningful. Instead of historically significant figures who helped shape the nation, we are offered neutral, universal imagery that stands for almost nothing at all — landscapes, wildlife, abstractions. On the surface this seems harmless. But symbolism matters. For centuries, historical figures served as cultural signposts, reminders of the history, struggles and achievements that shaped the nation and its people. Remove those signposts, and something subtle but important begins to change. The past becomes distant. Then contested. And then disposable. Gradually, the story of a nation — its triumphs, failures, and defining moments — is hollowed out. In its place emerges a new idea of national identity that is deliberately thin: one that defines Britain not through its history or traditions but through the abstract celebration of diversity itself. In other words, the only thing that is meant to define us is that we have no defining identity at all. The endpoint of this cultural project is not inclusion but historical amnesia, or cultural erasure. A society that is detached from its past, uncertain of its traditions, and unsure of what binds it together. This is what Sir Roger Scruton meant when he wrote: “A society that loses its memory loses its identity.” And that loss happens gradually, through thousands of seemingly small decisions — a statue removed here, a curriculum altered there, a historical figure quietly replaced on a banknote. Each individual change may appear insignificant. But taken together they represent something far more profound: the slow disconnection of a people from their own history and collective memory. A people who no longer really know who “we” are. I doubt the bureaucrats who made this decision at the Bank of England fully grasp the cultural significance of what they are doing. But intention is not the point. The effect is what matters. When we remove the symbols of our past, we further weaken the very foundations of our identity. Or Orwell warned: “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” This is what is happening and accelerating around us. This is what Furedi meant by the “War Against Our Past”. And this is why it really matters. Not because of one banknote. But because of the much larger cultural story it represents.

Ffs Claude on PIP now as well

@Click084 @amjadt25 @ZubyMusic That doesn't disprove his point. He refers exclusively to "income tax revenue" and you're looking at all tax revenue (VAT, corporate etc etc). Apologise for your foolishness and move on.

@amjadt25 @ZubyMusic Fun fact… you are wrong

Fun fact: The UK government will collect £329 billion in income tax this year, but it will spend £333 billion on welfare. £333B − £329B = £4 billion more spent than collected from income tax. Much of the welfare system goes to immigrants ( alot of Islamist), and when many eventually become citizens, some still do not work and continue receiving housing and other benefits. Meanwhile, ordinary taxpayers are left facing rising poverty and declining public services. That is one reason many people are leaving London for Dubai , a place that is safe, stable, and offers a better quality of life, and even when Iran throwing missiles, it still feels much safer than London.

@annakhachiyan It’s ironic that crime is just something that happens, “like the weather,” but the weather, aka “Climate Change,” is something you’re deeply personally responsible for & ought to dictate your life choices, obligating you to pay higher taxes & enjoy a diminished quality of life.

@K_Niemietz Very (false) Londoncentric insight

I see they're continuing with this strategy of pretending that young right-wingers exist, in the hope of eventually willing them into existence. There are no young right-wingers in Britain. Everyone under 40 is either a Pollers-loving woke socialist, or they're apolitical.

@Erik_Hamre @akarlin And.... a... paedophile

@akarlin He was a chud for sure and the fact he put these nerds and stupid nepobabies through the blackmail rigamaroo is ok with me. However, he was also an israeli spy, which is not ok.

@veH0rny @ether_fi wrong again... card.metamask.io Base, Linea & Solana

I was wrong @ether_fi is the best one ether.fi/refer/0fa5a6f3

@FUDdaily I do not agree.

He will set up an entity which will garner thousands of supporters and social media interactions in a short time, and raise a few quid in the process, carving off a chunk of Reform, Tory and Advance activists, to then tread water with no real momentum until it can put forth candidates, most of whom will lose their deposits, and will then be kept alive in maintenance mode by a caretaker until everyone forgets it exists. Just like the last six attempts.

every time a brit comments about money on this website I pray the americans don't see it

Given the scale of these protests now and the growing death toll of ordinary folks fighting for freedom the near total silence of the British and American celebrity class — so vocal on so many other matters — is rather striking.

@paulmasonnews Postcapitalism was a decent book. Now you are just another deluded old commie. The English working class aren't fighting "Putin". Their country is already occupied.

Nobody is asking Brits to fight in Donbas - though we armed the USSR to retake it from Nazism in 1943... out socialist govt will send UK troops to keep PEACE in Donbas just as soon as genocidal Putin is defeated ✊🚩🇬🇧🇺🇦

@kafkaex speak for yourself... LARPing as a human?

No phones on the table. No sense that the moment might be captured, replayed, judged later. You could drift. Say the wrong thing. Laugh too loud. Sit there doing nothing. Now everyone’s slightly braced. Slightly performing. Even when we’re relaxed, we’re not really loose. There’s always a small part of us watching ourselves.

@RealChrisLangan @JohnLeFevre Exceptionally written, Mr Langan.

These self-hating lunatics exemplify what might be called "self-reinforcing evil". Burning with self-loathing and contempt for everything about themselves, oozing with desire for global self-destruction and eternal nonexistence, they reveal themselves as demons. If demons have the right to rule here, then this is hell; and if this is hell, then everyone here - not just high-profile malefactors like these, but those who tolerate their presence and reward them for venting their hatred - are demons by association. How could anyone possibly deny that these race-hating freaks should be dragged out of academia, the media, and the government and bulldozed like reeking trash into the Lake of Fire? Merely by tolerating them, one consigns oneself to the Pit.

chilling "kill all white people."

@AlgotEbbert @WarMonitor3 >guy who didn't understand animal farm

@WarMonitor3 I prefer that rather than living under russian oppression. What ever it takes.

NATOs Rutte: "We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured." Wow.

With today's decision, Brussels is attempting to force Hungary to pay even more or take migrants in. This is unacceptable. Hungary already spends enough to protect the Union's external border. We will not take a single migrant in, and we will not pay for others' migrants. Hungary will not implement the measures of the Migration Pact. The rebellion begins!
