Ok, so you might not be into football, and sick to the back teeth of hearing about the "European Super League". But there are some important comms lessons to be found, even for not-for-profits, which are excellently highlighted here by @bencapper in @comms2point0
*NEW GUEST POST* 'The European Super League: How not to announce something' History will remember 18th – 21st April 2021 as a seismic 48 hours in the world of soccer-footy-ball.  by @bencapper orlo.uk/AzRhU #lfc

The public are to blame for failing to social distance, says Boris Johnson, whose government has just spent millions subsidising meals out, told people it was their patriotic duty to go to the pub and warned homeworkers they’ll be sacked if they don’t go back to the office.

If you remove the inaccuracies and adjectives, the @ukhomeoffice is saying: "We are working to remove people seeking asylum but the law makes it difficult. We want it to be easier. For now, let's celebrate that we've at least ejected some." This. Is. Wrong. #StandUpForAsylum

The loss of free movement is a tragedy. The triumph of the closed minded. A rejection of the freedom of the individual in favour of the powers of the state.

There is no way that the leader of a political party who wants to get into power is ever going to support a policy called 'defund the police', no matter what it really involves.

Seconded! Thirded! The fact that Dominic Cummings makes his kids watch PJ Masks instead of Yolandas Band Jam says it all really.

Over the last few days, I have spoken at length to people who take life-preserving medication, anxious beyond words about No Deal. #AnywhereButWestminster

So the PM will be kicked out by the only source of his authority and respond by shutting down that source of authority so he can deliver an economically ruinous project which enriches his friends. Ask yourself what the reaction would be if this happened in any other country.

“No I don’t ACTUALLY want to force an election. I just want to talk loudly to 30 members of the Socialist Workers Party about it on a stage” is possibly the most Corbyn thing ever.

It really is. I’m doing interviews for Australian, American and French TV today. Could have done many more. Love him or loathe him, Boris is box office.

This is what fascism looks like. We must fight it at home and abroad.
