I like words. Long words. Words that sound good. Made up words. Pleasing combinations of words. Grammar is for losers.

I like other stuff too like geekery, travel, photography, allotmenteering, food/cookery/baking. I blog at https://Whitemore.com

Now imagine what the uproar and repercussions would be if this were being done by supporters of Palestine.

Or by Just Stop Oil.

Lisa Nandy tells the racists they have "roared" and that she and the government are listening to them.
Responding to the village saying it had "roared", Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told BBC Breakfast: "I think they have – we have heard it, we are listening. "I do really understand that when changes are made that affect your community it can be very distressing. "We inherited an enormous asylum backlog, we are processing claims much more quickly, we are removing people who don't have the right to be here," she said. "Small boat crossing fell this summer for the first time in many years because of the action we have taken. "While we get a grip on the asylum chaos that we inherited we do need to make sure that we live up to our obligations and house people coming to this country seeking safety."

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

Another loss. Really feel for the players. Much more coherence and threat going forward. Genuinely exciting watching Meister and Fuseini. Crippling bad luck with injuries and a few decisions. But so long as we defend like that we've no chance. Would settle for next 3 at 0-0 #dcfc #dcfcfans

Comedy moment as Brum player spoons ball over empty net from 3 yards out. Langas watching once again. Can we punish them? Time yet, keep the faith #dcfcfans #dcfc

Such a frustrating watch. I can't remember us being so vulnerable defensively. We're much improved going forward but if you keep gifting the opposition 2 goals there's no hope. It's not just the goals conceded, it's the goals almost conceded #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 12, 2026 at 1:13 PM
Superb counter attack, Fraulo inches from converting Clarks cross #dcfc #dcfcfans

Sickening to concede from a corner. Cashin blatantly fouled to prevent him going for the ball. When it rains it pours #dcfc #dcfcfans

Holy smoke, we can't catch a break. Meister carried off with an injury. He's been superb today. Hope it's not too serious #dcfc #dcfcfans

Got to be better when we lose the ball 2nd half, otherwise we'll concede more. Game there to be won and we look much better going forward. Hope we can put our stamp on this game #dcfcfans #dcfc

JE chose an attacking line up and it worked both ways. A trademark Ward cross leading to our goal. A trademark Ward failure to stop their cross leading to their goal. Maybe we just need to outscore them #dcfcfans #dcfc
September 12, 2026 at 12:20 PM
And we concede yet another soft goal. So disappointing after taking the lead #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 12, 2026 at 12:13 PM
We're too open on the break. Taking chances. A goal here would really help us #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 12, 2026 at 12:05 PM
Cashin looking like his old self. Superb back post interception to prevent a goal #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 12, 2026 at 11:44 AM
Meister looking a handful. One to watch #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 12, 2026 at 11:38 AM
Time to drop Langas. Off the pace defensively & slowing things down going forward. Need fast mobile players running at defenders. Lots of good parts but not a good whole. Massively missing Morris. Szmodics coming deep leaving box empty. We have the tools, just need to assemble them #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 8:53 PM
Gutted by that. We've had seasons when we can't retain or progress the ball well but we defend well and take our chances. Now we are much better on the ball but we aren't good enough in key moments at either end. So frustrating #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 8:43 PM
It's hard playing against 10 defending a lead but we're not doing enough. Too slow and easy to defend. Despite our dominance can't see a goal coming #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 8:24 PM
Why on earth aren't we leaving Fuseini up when they have a corner? It's hard to understand #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 8:15 PM
Ward putting good crosses in and 2 target men - this is better #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 8:13 PM
Sanderson playing on the right wing while we lack presence in the box - just Szmodics vs 3 big defenders. I'd swap Dion for Meister and move Hedges out wide. Move the ball quick and tire them out. #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 7:37 PM
We're missing a target man. Ideal game for Meister to make his mark later #dcfc #dcfcfans
September 9, 2026 at 7:22 PM
They're down to 10. I can see Fuseini getting a lot of players carded this season with his pace #dcfcfans #dcfc

Ozoh is playing like a boss #dcfc #dcfcfans
