When I left the UK in 2022, I decided to delete western media sources off my phone & do my best to not read about UK politics. This morning I decided to put @SkyNews on, as I was curious to how they are reporting #Israel #Palestine I’m actually in shock at the bias towards Israel

Israel invaded Palestinian & Jordanian territory 60 odd years ago & conducted multiple genocides and removed the rights of the Arabian people who were forced to flee those lands. These people want their country back. #Israel #Palestine I ain’t buying this “poor Israel” nonsense.

Lastly, let’s not pretend Iran aren’t using Palestine in the same way the US is using Ukraine.

I’ve been conducting some analysis on England rugby’s attack strategies and I’ve made some predictions for tonight. In their own 22: first phase, kick Circa half way line: first phase, kick In the oppositions 22: first phase, kick #rugbyworldcup2023

What’s special about watching Portugal is the rawness in their play & how they just play what they see. A lot of the more established nations have become over coached & too structured so you sometimes don’t get this excitement. It’s very French, very European. #rugbyworldcup2023

Dumbest thing in rugby is the the clock still running during scrum resets whilst forwards create a delay to catch their breathe. #rugbyworldcup2023 But Portugal are a fantastic advertisement for rugby. With funding they could be something. Get England to Lisbon for a game.

Hey @EnglandRugby do you know what our team do all week? Because I’m pretty sure they don’t practice any rugby. Certainly no actual passing with hands. I don’t even want to know our average ruck speed. My nan creates quicker ball. #RugbyWorldCup

We suck the life out of rugby. I’m sure English rugby and English football’s goal is to produce soulless, turgid, boring spectacles. It’s so strange because both Prem footy & Prem rugby are so entertaining and our national teams are just painful to watch. #RugbyWorldCup

Kick, and a kick, oh that’s a kick. And a kick, oh ok let’s kick. Actually shall we kick. Oh go on another kick. England rugby. #RugbyWorldCup

Trump spitting bars 🥶
.@RealDonaldTrump Reveals Where He Stands on COVID in New Viral Video “The left-wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all of their sudden fear-mongering about the new variants that are coming. Gee whiz. You know what else is coming? An election. “They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, more mail-in ballots, and trillions of dollars in payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election. Does that sound familiar? These are bad people. These are sick people we're dealing with. “But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our Freedom, hear these words—WE WILL NOT COMPLY! So don't even think about it. We will not shut down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns. We will not abide by your mask mandates, and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates. “They rigged the 2020 election, and now they're trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the most important election in the history of our country, the 2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID. But they will fail because we will not let it happen. When I'm back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate. Thank you very much.”

Last moan about England (for now) but this moment encapsulates just how “off” they are for me. 58 minutes in, 5 points down. Mitchell has made a 30 metre break down the left. It’s quick ball. It comes to Ford, one of the best option takers around over the years.
