The turmoil and chaos at Manchester United exemplified by Leni Yoro in defence (in no way the standard for a professional footballer) and that idiotic 18-year-old. He's been booked, so he throws ball down in temper. Has he not been trained in the rules?

Man U train their academy players well. Shea Lacey, only his 3rd game, with his team heading out the FA Cup, lets down the faith the club have put in him by getting sent off for of all things throwing the ball away. What a total idiot! @henrywinter @_PaulHayward @robharris

I've had to turn off @talkSPORT's Man U-Brighton commentary. Mike #Phelan is the most annoying co-commentator I've ever heard, and I've been tuning in for decades. All pointless jargon, with no emotion in his voice. The aural equivalent of watching paint dry.

I’m old enough to remember the Iranian revolution in 1979. The BBC covered it. Extensively.
Now when it looks possible that there will be another revolution in Iran, the BBC is silent. Why?

This is a terrible argument. Not just because of the shoot first,ask questions later approach of the last year in other conflicts. Iran is the leading geopolitical story of the moment. If the BBC can't cover it, it's no longer a serious news organization.

Is this the most hypocritical political statement ever?
Sadiq Khan: "I will do everything in my power to keep Jewish Londoners safe."
Yes, Khan, by allowing weekly Jihad now marches.

There are 876 theories about who Jack the Ripper was, but only my (Ed Glinert's) version gets to grips with not only but, just as importantly, why following 30 years of research involving Freemasonry, the Kabbalah and the Book of Micah. Orders for talks and tours will be taken.

Thanks #Timperley Probus for inviting me to give a talk on what is one of the most difficult subjects in London history - Jack the Ripper. Suffice to say, no one has delved into this quagmire more intensely & how it links the royal family, Freemasonry, the Kabbalah, oh & crime.

Great news: "BBC Middle East editor sues Owen Jones for libel at High Court over Gaza article". Btw, I'm sure Owen Jones, Jonathan Schofield and Greta Thunberg are one and the same person. Has anyone ever seen them together?

Proud to be the only Manchester tour guide and historian to regularly promote the 1945 Pan-African Congress that was held at Chorlton-on-Medlock. More in my forthcoming "Manchester: The Biography".

Wonderful non-story in the @MENnewsdesk: "Met Office issues verdict on UK snow", only for them to say "no snow expected in UK". The staff are desperate for it so that they can write articles about "the white stuff" as they desperately search for one of the 50 words for snow.

After Gary Neville's disgusting video outburst, blaming the attacks on us Jews on white men sporting flags instead of on Islamofascists who want to install an IS-styled society, isn't it time Marketing Mcr and @visit_mcr dropped him as an ambassador for the city? @MENnewsdesk

They do, you daft fuck. They don't just magic their money out of thin air. They invest, create businesses, employ people. Christ alive, you're stupid.
