Delighting in the tears of unfathomable sadness of every pundit and sports journalist predicting that #SaintsFC would break #DCFC's record low points total in the #PremierLeague. Numerous cake-holes resoundingly shut. #wemarchon

@englandrugby that was laughable. Worst 40 minutes of rugby I've ever seen by an England team. Fix it fast or we are on the first flight home. Shambles. #RWC2023

@DarkGrim924 @ignas_zvirblis @Trexicon8 @fbm8665 @DominiqueTaegon Also dude, I'm not American so your Biden/Harris whinge is wasted, I don't give a shit. Still laughing at being called woke though. Where I come from, the woke are the Putin apologists. They prefer to slag off the West than cite war crimes by actual dictators.

@DarkGrim924 @ignas_zvirblis @Trexicon8 @fbm8665 @DominiqueTaegon And you're a muppet. Condoning war crimes by deflecting attention onto marginalised extremists is weak. Ukraine's president is Jewish and the far right Svoboda have only 1 seat in Parliament. Plenty of nations have neo-nazi fringe problems - doesn't condone invasion & genocide.

@DarkGrim924 @ignas_zvirblis @Trexicon8 @fbm8665 @DominiqueTaegon Woke - ha! You definitely don't know me - I take my news from a wide variety of sources. I doubt you're on the ground in Kyiv, so until you quote a wide source of credible alternative sources, I'll stick with "muppet".

No total victory has ever been achieved that way. The human spirit is too strong and anger, resentment and vengeance will run too deep now for Ukrainians to ever trust Russia again while Putin or his allies are in charge. The reality is that Putin has already lost.

One observation about #Russian defence of action in #Ukraine is citing the West's intervention in Iraq as precedent. And yet, they have failed to learn any of Iraq's lessons. You do not win hearts and minds by pounding cities and killing civilians.

Miserable, humiliating, a national disgrace. Burning the bails a century ago now seems like an over-reaction. Now, we should burn stumps, bats and the Long Room to boot. English batting is rotten to the core and @ECB_cricket need to get a grip on it. #embarrassing #Ashes2021

Really poor service from #stagecoach in #Torbay today. Multiple buses not turning up in Babbacombe & Torquay caused me to miss my holiday fishing trip. Trying to use public transport to help #ClimateCrisis but consistently poor customer service in UK just pushes us back to cars.

What possible reason would a stadium broadcaster have, to display the image of a distraught German girl to a stadium of 60,000 euphoric English fans? Aside from the vile online abuse, this is the most damning aspect and deserves much more scrutiny. #ENGGER news.sky.com/story/euro-202…

Massive credit to the Hungarian team. No one gave them a hope but played their hearts out in all 3 games. #EURO2020 #GERvHUN

@SamanthaTaghoy Just let this sink in: over £200Kpa funding for Commonwealth Scolarships for Oxford. Provided for by the UK taxpayer for students from the Commonwealth, an institution set up and headed by The Queen. As a former Chorister at @magdalenoxford , I'm appalled ox.ac.uk/news/2019-11-1…

Some causes get given a whole month or two months of "raising awareness" and yet our oceans, covering 70% of the earth's surface and so essential to life for all of us only get one day of recognition. Hope we have made that day count - pretty important. #WorldOceansDay
