@davidyelland Ok. I've lived all over the country.
Manchester is one of the richest, most cosmopolitan, most similar-to-London places in the UK. Please give this sanctimonious drivel a rest.

Finding it hard not be triggered by commentators who did not grow up in the north, do not understand the north and have never lived outside the London bubble lecturing us all on “danger of Manchesterism”… they do not understand the country in which we all live.

@helloKi30596224 @Keir_Starmer @andyburnham Nope, a member of the Labour Party, Bradford CLP.
You’re a fucking liar.
English
If @Keir_Starmer and @andyburnham were heart surgeons, who would you choose to do your operation?
Because that's the person I want leading the UK through difficult times.

@DonnaSm94710235 @ianmiles People should point and laugh at you wherever you go.

They are not what they claim to be. In fact homosexuals have had a plan that I became aware of back in the early 1980s. Those making 60,000.00 per year or more were their putting assets in political arenas to create laws supporting them as a minority group. In the 1990's they deeply embedded themselves into healthcare and Sitcoms. In the 2000's they began the concept of eroding what a marriage is. Followed by changing laws to curse GOD's written word in creating their own form of worshipping GOD. In fact they literally changed population demographics to gain political dominion in CA after the voters in CA voted that marriage is between a man and a woman. Followed by suppressing science and creating more than 2 genders further declaring GOD a liar. This extreme violation of science has led to the perversion of a man being able to compete in women sports and open adult men applying deception to appear to be women able to read stories to small children as if they are "teachers". If you do not go along with their version of the truth you should not be alive. They are all depraved and cruel

London Pride is nothing London should be proud of.
Disgusting.

@DylanFMackinnon @JosephPepper This actually a fair point. We do hate you more than referees.
English
@JosephPepper Anytime an American complains about refs in World Cup, beyond just the few loud people who want to ditch offside, They get laid into by European fans. Yall are defending refs just to hate on Americans
English
The difference between Soccer fans and American Football fans is you will never find American Football fans defending our refs or our sports poor officiating and rules the way soccer fans do. We openly hate on the refs, the confusing catch rules and the “taunting” rules

@prestonjbyrne "Free speech union"

British television is so bad, they’re going to force Internet users to watch it

@JamesSurowiecki @filippoc1970 That was a really good, compelling game. Tense and nasty and finely balanced up to the last minute. We saw France looking more vulnerable than they have in any other game.
After 30 years you don't seem to have grasped football beyond it's surface details.
English
@filippoc1970 It's not a bad strategy. It just makes for a terrible game.
English
I await all the people calling me a casual, but I've been watching soccer for almost 30 years, and the decline in goals from open play over the past decade, and the improvement in mediocre to bad teams' ability to park the bus, are real problems.
Ridiculous that a team with Olise, Mbappe, Barcola, Dembele, and Doue could be held to maybe one good chance from open play in 90 minutes because their opponent was intent on never taking a single chance.
Alec MacGillis@AlecMacGillis
What an ugly dull game. The dreadful VAR call annulling the German goal vs Paraguay cost us all a true July 4 Philly showdown of continental rivals.
English
@JamesSurowiecki Might is right, but for sports.
Once again, there really is no need for America to take up football.
English
@__griffin_ Baffling that you people cannot understand that isn't the problem.
Astonishing that you think everyone suggesting this kind of idea is so irredeemably stupid that they simply haven't thought of this.
English
Baffling that people cannot seem to understand that this just moves the microscopic measurement to a different part of the line
Jonathan Stoop@jonathanstoop
Here's my suggestion for improving the offside rule: Widen the line used to draw offside to marginally increase the buffer for what counts as level with the last defender. This absorbs the toenail decisions with minimal disruption to general play.

@Hraarmstrong @andyburnham Andy Burnham has not currently been elected leader of the Labour party.
Procedure isn't really relevant to the point I was making.
English
@SebPHawkins @andyburnham Aside from the fact it’s how our electoral system works. We’re not the USA.

Quick apologies if you're waiting for a reply on my Reddit AMA.
We may have actually crashed Reddit which has meant my answers haven’t loaded…
They should start appearing soon, and thanks to everyone who sent in a question!

@EmisforEurope @afcgass @tiannathewriter Ahh, reply and block. The sure mark of intelligent people confident in their argument.
Take care mate.
English
@EmisforEurope @afcgass @tiannathewriter We have never had completely unrestricted migration, except from Europe. Least of all over the last 5-10 years.
Europe remains very much recognisable.

Erm... England is a country lol. Just so you guys know this is a far right talking point, idk how that's trickled into mainstream Black British conversation. England is the name of the country, Britain is the name of the island...

English is an ethnicity. I’m a British national but I am not English. There are mixed race English people though
English
@Hraarmstrong @andyburnham I'm from London. I have never moaned that it has too much power. I also don't think a kid in Eltham or Harlesden or Hounslow feels they have much of this power.
2 is childish and disingenuous. I'm not against you but you are fucked if you don't realise how bad this looks.
English
@SebPHawkins @andyburnham 1) because you all seem to moan about how London has too much power, which it does.
2) because Labour won the last election and they’re probably going to elect Mr Burnham as leader.
Genius, isn’t it?
English
@Hraarmstrong @andyburnham I want Manchester to thrive. i want all of our towns and cities to thrive. I agree that the UK best fulfills our potential by spreading investment across the country
It is a fever dream to imagine the UK will ever not be dominated by the one global city we are lucky to have tho
English
@SebPHawkins @andyburnham I suspect this is the first step towards doing just that. And I hope so. A lot of other countries have more than one completely dominant city. Manchester is England’s second city now and people overseas wouldn’t know it for anything other than football.
English
@THFCKels @andyburnham I don't personally believe that's true. Peace and love anyway tho.
English
@SebPHawkins @andyburnham Labour don't like people voting, because they may not vote they way they want them to.
English
@andyburnham To be clear, not dissing Manchester. It's a wonderful city and would be a strong contender. But so would Glasgow, so would Newcastle. So would somewhere rural. So would lots of places.
It's a big idea, a big change. Shouldn't the decision be a more open process?
English
@andyburnham I have two questions.
Is Manchester actually the best place for a second No. 10? Isn't it just where you live?
Why do you actually think you can just get some patsy to resign, win a by-election and then strut about acting like you're the PM before the contest has even begun?
English
@MichaelLCrick Genuinely astonishing to see you positively retweet this. Auditing Britain next?
English
@EmisforEurope @afcgass @tiannathewriter Ok, but you get that, very long term, that is going to happen without some appalling and pointless restrictions?
The good news is we won't ever be a single, indistinct blob. But the racial categories we fuss over are as doomed as the nation states we tie them to.
English
@afcgass @tiannathewriter I don't want distinct ethnic identities and cultures to gradually disappear into a single, indistinct blob.
English
@ShippersUnbound Never heard of Alastair, but he's one of the most unspeakably pathetic dolts I've ever listened to.
Always thought you were moderately serious. Surprised you're sharing this garbage.
English
@andyburnham Yeah maybe.
Or maybe just gimmick free, serious government.
