Orwell’s 1984 is without doubt a masterpiece, a warning about totalitarianism, surveillance, and the manipulation of truth Yetin modern Britain, it has been co-opted as a rhetorical bludgeon, wielded by those who see dystopia in every policy they dislike. open.substack.com/pub/newspengui…


Normally try to keep away from team selection chat, but please please please please fucking PLEASE pick Pattison in midfield. It's the kind of all-action big occasion thats tailor made for him. #bcafc


Would this not disproportionately represent couples vs single people?

A friendly reminder (mainly to myself) that Twitter isn't real life and to go outside.

Wrote this about the new(ish) style tribe taking over every vacant commercial property in your town: The Normans. A culture of bumfluff moustaches, five panel hats, cloudy wine, sandwiches wrapped in tin foil and ruthless ambition vice.com/en/article/mee…

Here's the problem. People think council tax pays for bins. What they don't realise is that council tax is - absurdly - how we pay for care in this country. Your council tax is going on the rising cost of adult social care as more people live longer & need more care. Not bins.

Why are councils charging more and more and doing less? James Buckley's not having it.



yikes

All getting a bit real now, isn't it? #bcafc


I can't be expected to be alone with my thoughts - I have human rights.

We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!



Been watching us since '97, and I've never experienced a defeat that hurt that much. #bcafc


The only three answers we need: When is Pattison back? When is Sarcevic back? When is Pointon back? #bcafc


Right in the feels

"MY F*****G CLUB" In the end, It wasn't meant to be, but from being a fan, to being stood in front of that packed-out away end pre-match, during the match and post-match is a truly special feeling. This moment is one that I will definitely remember forever ❤️💛 #BCAFC



Have a little more creative energy since I stopped being A Journalist, but I don't have any hobbies, interests or worthwhile opinions to share, so i wrote this. reporterrichb.wordpress.com/2024/12/22/low…


This seems to come up often with our ex players - that it's not a question of recruitment, it's the infrastructure of the club itself. As far as I remember, Grayson was the only manager to call it out publicly, and we all dismissed him as a prima donna.

2.5 years now since Gareth Evans left. If he signed a contract tomorrow & walked back in to the club, do you think his opinion would be any different to his thoughts in 2009? ‘Throw enough money at the squad & it’s bound to work’ still the ‘long term strategy’ at #bcafc #bantams
