Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

Britain, Germany, Belgium, France and Sweden are in a race for which becomes the first Islamic country in Europe. They just keep importing more and more fake refugees every chance they get. Who is paying for this intentional elimination of the indigenous people and culture?

@chrislepkowski And that's capitalism. “It cannot be right that so many clubs exist on a cliff edge where one change could threaten their entire existence". Don't we all? Isn't that more important, you know, people rather than institutions? Shouldn't we be dumping capitalism instead?

There will be owners and CEO of EFL clubs (especially in the Championship) choking on their cornflakes as they listened to Monks this morning. The second tier is more 'cliff edge' than 'sufficient resources' when it comes to so many clubs overstretching
Henry Winter@henrywinter

New licensing system for the 116 clubs in Premier League, EFL and National League requires them to hold “sufficient resources” to steer them away from any potential “cliff edge”. Level of risk will be assessed on a club-by-club basis by Independent Football Regulator. From 2027/2028 season, clubs in the top five divisions will require a licence from the IFR in order to compete. Clubs need to show liquidity to meet their financial commitments and cope with "stress" such as relegation or withdrawal of owner funding. Club liquidity will be monitored on an ongoing basis by the IFR which can also impose measures such as “reducing expenditure or restructuring debt”. (Players not counted as liquid assets as “clubs cannot readily realise their value outside transfer windows”). Clubs must also show evidence of “having meaningfully consulted" with fans. “It cannot be right that so many clubs exist on a cliff edge where one change could threaten their entire existence – fans should be debating formations not finances,” says IFR CEO Richard Monks. “Our licensing regime will ensure that club risk is managed appropriately, creating a more stable environment for growth and investment.” Four “key risk factors” that IFR expects clubs to “monitor and mitigate” are... *Business Model – funding gaps between income and costs. *Liquidity & Cash flow – the ability to meet short-term financial obligations. *Solvency and Debt – risks to operating in the medium to long term. *Governance – adequacy of financial decision-making and risk management.

The Stamford Bridge car boot sale, and Bob Monkhouse finding the humour in being scammed out of £100,000. Just two of the tangents that me and @MagicOfFACup investigated in the latest gripping instalment of 1979/80 Revisited, for @YBTAHOAB.

@TiceRichard Imagine if the '£350m a week for the NHS after Brexit' hadn't been a lie to get the votes of the gullible.

@TEnglishSport I'm old enough to remember Cormack's early days as chairman, when certain journalists were desperate to bounce him into getting rid of Derek McInnes.

Brilliant win for Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline. Aberdeen? A soft touch on and off the pitch. Dave Cormack is so susceptible to employing fast talkers who spend, and waste, loads of his and fans’ money. They need many things at Pittodrie - a bluffer detector among them

Clive Tyldesley reports on Coventry City vs Derby County in March 1988, with a pitch that you wouldn’t get close to playing on these days. No postponement. Same for both teams. Get on with the game.

A new 1970s wing of the @YBTAHOAB faculty? Dave Bowler, aka @MagicOfFACup, dons his cravat, while I cling to the Peacock Revolution fashion movement, as we head to the 1970 FA Cup final. The pitch is in an awful state, and there is an edge to proceedings. Gary Sprake though...
