The Rooneys on taking their sons to Auschwitz:
Wayne: “It was part of his education. He was doing world war two at school.” They are seen in the show passing Auschwitz, and stopping to look at the cattle cars the Nazis used to transport people to their death.
Wayne: “It’s really important to learn about history, good and bad. Sometimes with your kids, you only want to tell them good stuff, and I don’t think that’s good for them.”
Coleen: “We knew we’d be passing Auschwitz, and we wanted to stop.” She looks at Wayne. “You’ve been before, haven’t you?”
Wayne: “I went at the Euros in 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. The FA asked us who wanted to go, and four or five of us went. It put a lot of things into perspective to see what had gone on there.”

You don’t have to be a historian to see the parallels of a “dissenter” belonging to the only mixed race family in a village being denounced as a traitor and her own neighbour giving her address to a vigilante far right mob. Except this isn’t Nazi Germany, it’s England in 2026.
Emotional interview on #newsnight form local Paddington resident Rachel who says she has been’ othered’ for expressing a different view to the majority of residents and is heartbroken to learn she is living amongst some very bigoted xenophobic people.

The hospitality industry are back lobbying for a VAT cut
They don't mention the cost: £12bn
They don't mention who gets the £:
❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Get nothing
❌ Consumers? Prices won't fall
✅ McDonald's gets £400m. Big chains are big winners

Observe how Nigel Farage's Praetorian Guard in the media - who vilified Keir Starmer over the gift of a tie and glasses - seek to normalise £72m of crypto in a day. Suspect British journalists will, on the whole, do the opposite.
An astonishing £72 million pours into @reformparty_uk funds in 24 hours. The money could be a game changer. Write off @Nigel_Farage at your peril

They come over here taking our wickets!!
These kind of instances show it’s largely racism. If it had been the Aus U19s they wouldn’t have been there protesting.

When the far right say they are peaceful, just remember this post..
This fascist has named two RNLI staff who work tirelessly and at great personal risk to save lives of others. He has literally put a target on their backs ….and the post is liked by 19,000 people.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea.
Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.
Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised.
Anyone can drown, but no one should.

The facts behind our work in the Channel.
In 2024, our crews launched 114 times to Channel crossings – that's just 1.2% of our total launches.
Our core purpose is to save lives at sea. Anyone can drown, but no one should.
Martin Dean retweeted
Our charity exists to save lives at sea. Our mission is to save every one. Our lifesavers are compelled to help those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water. They have done so since the RNLI was founded in 1824 and this will always be our ethos.
