The Jarrow Crusade, in which 200 unemployed men marched to London calling for government intervention to restore jobs, began on this day 1936. Unsuccessful at the time, but helped to shape postwar attitudes to employment and social justice.

If you’ve decided to start calling something by a new name because Donald Trump decided he wants everyone to call it something different, then you are in a cult of pathetic morons.

It's been happening forever, and will happen forever, that rich people fuck off to lower-tax areas and frame it as political defiance of some law they personally don't like. 'Seatbelts in cars make it impossible for me to deliver wealth.' 'Without smoking in pubs, how am I meant to...'
Personally, I’d rather have healthy kids than mollycoddled millionaires

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement.
Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences.
Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else.
Enough.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

The glowing pre-obits written about Guardiola would stand better to reason (greatest of his era? Probably), and to scrutiny were it not for the small matter of how that Man City was built. Whichever "legacy" he leaves behind will always come with an asterisk. It's a pity, but it's part of the story.
