Had a pretty convincing scam call from a lady pretending to be from my mobile operator. Said there was a Jan promotion of 20% off — did I want in? And if so, I’d get a six digit code texted to me. Which immediately came (from my real operator’s SMS)… (—> cont’d)

@Totinhiiio @FabrizioRomano Dead right. Like Roy Keane at Man U

@FabrizioRomano Thomas Frank making excuses for Romero's mistakes just because he's young captain proves Tottenham still lack real leadership and discipline that top clubs demand every single game.

🚨 Thomas Frank: “After Cuti Romero became club captain, he's done a lot of things right. Then when you're a young leader, sometimes you make a mistake”. “It's of course good to keep it internally. We had a good conversation with him this morning about everything”.

Having murdered EVERY journalist in Gaza, and many of their families. Having banned ANY international journalist from entering. Having destroyed almost every structure in Gaza and even laughing as they blew up water treatment facilities and cancer wards. Israel is now BANNING all aid agencies from operating there from tomorrow. The last thread of charitable aid removed. An evil beyond humanity. Take ACTION Free PALESTINE
