1912 - it’s there in black & white! But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION! Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.

The fact that Reform were trying to run a person who had been dead for six months as their Croydon Mayoral candidate is proof if it were needed that they are not a serious party. It demonstrates abject incompetence and no vetting as well as utter contempt for the electorate.

It’s the Celtic way…Cesar’s first spell, MON, BR part 1, Ange, BR part 2…we get success, we’re on the precipice of doing something special but what we never build on it, never push on. Permanent lack of ambition or imagination…. #celticfc

As much as I like Maeda, the man, last season was a major outlier. He's great at pressing and has amazing stamina, but he's misses important chances more often than he scores them. If he was a reliable finisher, we'd have a treble, and we'd be in the ECL. If we get a decent bid, I'd take it.
