Immigrants are our doctors, porters, lawyers, plumbers and shopkeepers. They drive our buses, collect our bins, build our homes and heal our wounds. They’re our friends, neighbours and relatives. Our brothers and sisters. Leave them alone, you evil bastards.

This might be the best Paris 2024 story: Zeng Zhiying made her Olympics debut at 58-years old.
Born in China, she is now representing Chile in table tennis because of an incredible journey.
At age 18, she expected to go to the Olympics for her birth country, China, as one of the best players in the world.
But then table tennis changed out the two-sided paddles, and her game was thrown off.
She never made the team and became incredibly frustrated with the sport. She retired from the game as a player at age 20. Shortly after, she moved to Chile and coached various table tennis teams.
Then, in 2000, she decided to get a “real job” and step away from the game. For 20 years, she didn’t play. Then, in COVID, she bought a table and started playing again.
She made it a goal to make the 2024 Olympics representing Chile. And, at age 58, she did it!
The human brain is crazy powerful, and it can prevent us from continuing something we love or help us persevere through times when the odds are heavily stacked against us.
What an inspiration to follow your dreams.

hard not to respect the England players for their determination not to give Rishi Sunak the glimmer of a national feelgood factor

What we're hearing from journalists is that Poch is no longer a "strategic fit" in that we want a young manager who plays possession-based football - we did they handpick him 12 months ago? His age hasn't changed, nor has the fact he's never been a possession-based coach...

Ben - can you explain how Pochettino was carefully picked by the Sporting Directors but is now, somehow, "not a strategic fit"? When will the media start putting Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart firmly in the spotlight?!

After spending £140m on Rwanda and £1.6bn on a barge, we now have nobody in Rwanda and nobody on the barge.

The reason snooker players take so long between shots is they quietly sing Snooker Loopy to themselves so they know which ball to pot next.

@Telegraph - Slave owners used the enslaved to play music at their parties, take care of their children, clean their homes, cook their meals.
Being invited doesn’t prove embracing diversity. You don’t fool us. In fact, stop gaslighting us.

Hundred has made loss of £9m in first two years. Not including the £1.3m (18 + MCC) payments = £24.7m per year. This report is incorrect as it’s £24.7m per year. So, over two years the 💯 lost £58.4m. Imagine that - £29.2m lost per year. A DISGRACE. thetimes.co.uk/article/hundr…

Whoever takes over from @GaryLineker on MOTD is a weasel. A fucking collaborator in this sinister mess.
