Can’t see why @antanddec⁩ are “national treasures”. Their gurning charm is designed to convince us that #ImACeleb is harmless fun when it is pure bear baiting & bullying. I know the Celebs volunteer to be humiliated but the whole format is degrading thetimes.co.uk/article/69725…

So, continuing our post-Euros look at the major, addressable issues for women's football in the UK, let's talk about the absolute horror show that is... Pitch access. For training AND official matches. And how even us @FAWNL clubs, struggle to get it. /1 🧵

Para athletes are not great ‘disabled athletes’. They are just great athletes.

Before I try & turn in & shut down the busy brain that has taunted me all my life, I can't help but ponder why confrontation is winning over debate? No common ground, just all or nothing. My Dad raised me to listen, not just raise my voice. Apologies for this lecture like tweet x

Yday, I landed in Heathrow on my way to Tokyo for the Paralympic Games. My chair was destroyed. My chair is my independence and to be left in an over sized airport chair is degrading. #Tokyo2020 #Paralympics

Olympians like Peaty train for years to attain objective excellence. Tragic that our culture affords gives more attention to “influencers”, plastic celebs & chancers like ⁦@piersmorgan⁩ whose main “skill” is in triggering waves of synthetic anger thetimes.co.uk/article/595d1…

600,000 primary school children have been denied the opportunity to learn to swim this last 18 months. That’s a lot of kids less safe around water & maybe just one that doesn’t get on the road to Olympic sport. Swimming is a life skill we must make sure every single child has

IF LINE OF DUTY WERE TEACHERS. Been a head for 80 years. Refuses to academise. Once threw an orange at an OFSTED inspector. Seen it all so politely smiles when a 'new' teaching idea is suggested. Couldn't care less about educational research and thinks De Bono sings for U2.
