Fighting age male with extensive criminal record, heading away from their home country, he certainly seems to fit the bill?

Just watched a replay of #TOTAVL in the #FACup

A bit of a boil over after FT (I’ll probably read about it), but lovely to see John McGinn having a quiet word, post-game, with Archie Gray. In the dark days of Gerrard, Ginny put Archie out of the game with a bad tackle in a Brisbane friendly.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks.

For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

These are actually Stock Children, normally kept in Cold Storage until a moment of unrestrained glee needs to be recorded for some unspeakably grim commercial enterprise.

It's genuinely worth a quick check of the advanced moderation settings as there's plenty I'm sure people would like to tweak but aren't aware that they can.

Anxious Aston residents prepare for Villa’s match against Maccabi Tel Aviv Residents and business owners living around Aston Villa’s stadium have expressed anxieties before the club’s Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv

Even the Guardian are spreading misinformation on behalf of Israel these days.
Besiktas v Maccabi Tel Aviv had to be moved & played in Hungary behind closed doors.It wasn't played in Istanbul due to safety concerns.
Obviously not fact checked. #theguardian #avfc

My father worked on an offshore wind farm. Woke up early every morning before dawn to wrangle the zephyrs out to pasture, then he had to milk the breezes. Sometimes one of the gales would get a little rowdy.

He died of whale-lung at the age of forty two.

Fenella Racist, the former Conservative Minister for Housing (6-9 October 2021), has sensationally defected to Reform UK.

Racist, 52, who lost her seat to a Labour newcomer with a large face and a briefcase, said the Tories had lost sight of ordinary voters’ priorities, which is a code they use.

Powerful new Banksy mural on the Royal Courts of Justice building shows a judge hitting a protester lying on the ground with his gavel, with blood splattering the placard.

β€˜People just lie’: How Riverford’s Guy Singh-Watson became the most brutally honest farmer in Britain The organic veg pioneer talks to the Guardian about being unemployable, his unconventional father and his recent autism diagnosis

Guy Singh-Watson says the easiest way to raise revenue from the farming sector would be to capture the 100-fold increase in land value when planning permission is granted to build houses. The Riverford organic veg business founder backs a wealth tax and is a member of @patrioticmillionaires.org.
