JIm Ratcliffe is a scumbag. More than that he's a hypocrite. And dangerous. Words.

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

I’m a life long red, and I’m appalled (but not surprised) by this comment. The choice for football club owners is now racist brexiteers or Sportswashing human rights abusers, awful.

What happened in Minnesota today was not a mistake. It's a deliberate and inevitable outcome of ICE operations - part of the authoritarian script for state violence against citizens.

Gov. Tim Walz to Minnesotans: β€œI’ll continue to plead and ask you for peace and I know the answer is, β€˜You ask us for peace, and we give it, and we get shot in the face on the streets coming out of a doughnut shop.’ We cannot give them what they want.”

There are loads of United pods around, but @gooddayspod.bsky.social is by far my favourite. Especially Justin’s graphic description of the difference between United and Liverpool in this weeks pod :-)
