The work hard comment was made by the head of maths, a fully qualified teacher, by the way
When I was at school I got told “you work hard considering you’re black” when I was in year seven, I was 11 so thought it was a compliment
And when I was 15, the kid who called me a n*gger got made head boy
This was late 00s/early 2010s
But of course, anti-white discrimination is the scourge

Tommy Robinson is marching through London again today. He presents himself as a patriot, a journalist, and a victim of the establishment.
But in reality he is a serial criminal with a rap sheet two decades long.
Here’s the record he’d rather you didn’t read. 🧵

The ability of football to unite humans from around world is truly wonderful, despite how toxic social media has made “fandom”.
Lovely blog by @arseblog.com this. I’ve talked about Arsenal with people from every continent everywhere I’ve been (other than Antarctica, obviously) and I think that’s magical.

I was at the count in Gorton and Denton last night and we all saw Matt Goodwin eat ballot papers. His girlfriend and team begged him to stop but he kept stuffing it into his mouth and making grunting sounds like the Cookie Monster

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Why do people have so much fear about travelling from JFK to LGA on public transport @airlineflyer.net ? So many people warned me against it but a combination of Air Tran/Metro/Free Bus, made it easy. Thanks to the Citymapper app too.

At least 3 Arsenal players have been caught painfully by Newcastle players so far.
I don't think playing them in pre-season, given how 'physical' they always are, is the brightest idea.
