New personal essay about Stanley Road.
I broke my neck here. Witnessed murder scenes. It’s a bittersweet place. And it’s becoming a difference place from the one I grew up around.

A brave group of hero neighbours rushed into a burning house to rescue 87-year-old Phyllis Day, who has Alzheimer’s.
Phyllis was asleep and unaware that a fire had broken out at the back of her home. She had also removed her hearing aids, so she could not hear what was happening.
Her daughter, Suzanne Wright, was alerted by her mother’s doorbell camera, which showed the hero neighbours trying to get inside. She was 15 minutes away at the time.

As probabilidades podem estar contra a gente… mas nós já vencemos elas cinco vezes e fomos campeões do mundo. Tá liberado acreditar na sexta. 🤞🇧🇷🍻

The football pyramid in this country is unreal.
I’m shocked by this response to my email from the Chair of The @NorthernPremLge and member of the @FA Council
Is this an acceptable way for those in power to speak to football supporters who express genuine concerns?

The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni.
Is that fair?

Back on my bullshit and absolutely cackling at the start of episode 27 of Deal or No Deal

"Look at what they've done to it now." In this episode of Only Fools and Horses, Uncle Albert stands at the Shadwell Basin (East London) and reflects upon the erasure of all he knew and loved. This scene cuts me to my core. This is exactly how I feel when I stand there, many other places in London, and, of course, Britain overall. Each generation seems to slip further from familiarity, normality, and even morality. Until, one day, there will be nothing left to recognise and no one left to recognise anything even if there was. Moments before this scene, Rodney had walked out of the Prospect of Whitby pub in Wapping, which is a few yards away. I could write about this scene all day, but in the end, it speaks for itself. "They were rough people. They were good people" 💔⏳️

Been a long time coming for the media to lay out exactly how good this guy is, well done @chrisbevan_bbc 👏
Even sweeter it’s published a day later than that drivel last night.
