🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials: “I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match. The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars. This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.” The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle. And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters? Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line. The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Time for people to wise up & boycott the World Cup. People are being fleeced. The game is rotten to its core. 😡

Oops! 😡

Ike knew…

This is why comparisons with the death of Stalin don't work. The USSR still had a communist party. With Stalin gone, it could act. When Putin goes, there will be no one to choose a successor

It's quite odd just how many of these concerned citizens also have criminal records as long as your arm, usually for violence.

A new world order built from Europe. 👇

Suzanne Breen: The online threats I received for standing up to the far right after Belfast riots | Belfast Telegraph| wow 😮 this is horrendous. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunda…

What is happening in the UK is entirely the result of allowing the Daily Mail, GB News, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate, and all the others to spew their bile to hundeds of thousands every single day.

A really good explainer on the who, the why, the when...... for anyone interested in facts......

Oh the irony ! British plumbers moving to Poland's booming economy 🤡

Makerfield would now vote to rejoin the EU – further evidence of why viewing British politics as frozen in 2016 is such an error.

I asked Wilf just earlier this week if he calls out guests for lying on his show. Here’s one right here:

Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick let him in. Fast tracked his asylum claim, now blames the ECHR. You couldn't make it up. I guarantee it isn't the ECHR preventing the vast majority of returns. She's talking out of her backside. Most nervous I've ever seen her

Netanyahu isnt going to stay quiet, so this will be an interesting few weeks for both him & Trump ....

Okay, I'm gonna be honest. This gay club looks fabulous. They've got everything. Sweaty men wrestling, guys on motorcycles in leather jackets, gold everywhere, and the Village People performing.

What has Elon Musk taken from you? So ask many including Andrew Neil. Here's the answer: He has taken our peace of mind. He has purposefully pushed us apart, divided us further and profited from our loss of community. And that is hard to ever forgive.

Palantir’s UK CEO was challenged over the company’s role in US ICE immigration enforcement, and asked whether he was comfortable with its use in “brutal and inhumane” operations. Louis Mosley defended the contract, arguing it is not for private companies to override democratically elected government policy.

La Crimea sta per cadere. I comandanti russi mettono al sicuro le famiglie oltre confine e preparano l’abbandono di Sebastopoli. Il comando della Flotta del Mar Nero trasloca a Novorossijsk. Del quartier generale restano macerie. L’avanzata russa si è inceppata. Per la prima volta dal 2023 Mosca perde più terreno di quanto ne conquisti, e i conti li firma l’Institute for the Study of War, non la propaganda di Kiev. I droni ucraini colpiscono ogni giorno più a fondo. Su Mosca, sulle raffinerie, a centinaia di chilometri dal fronte. La guerra sta finendo. Non in tre giorni ma in quattro anni. Non con la caduta di Kiev ma con l’uscita di scena di Putin.

If you care about lowering immigration, cutting asylum backlogs and stopping the boats then vote Labour. Because the Labour government are successfully reducing all 3, Farage and Reform are now focusing on race rather than immigration. #Makerfield
