Tom Morello (@tmorello) talks to Rolling Stone about the controversy surrounding Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour.
"It's a distraction because, you know, Ed Sheeran is not a victim or someone we should be focusing on, nor is Macklemore. The war crimes that were brought to the fore on the stage by Macklemore's speech are the ones that should be the primary focus, and not be distracted by whether or not Ed Sheeran is crying today or crying tomorrow."

I stated yesterday that IF the links between Sheikh Mansour, Manchester City and Andy Burnham were PROPERLY investigated. Labour would need to have a Leadership contest.
Now it’s looking to be gathering pace….
I’m educationally guessing as Mayor of Manchester he was bought.

Following Man City’s case, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery says "many other clubs have inflated their budgets":
🗣️ "It’s an issue that was already known. Because we all have our restrictions, we have to sell players to comply with Financial Fair Play, we have to figure out how to draw up contracts with new people."
🗣️ "Financial Fair Play seeks a financial balance so that what you generate is spent and there isn’t inflation. Yes, many other clubs have inflated their budgets, and now it’s coming to light, and naturally there’s a decline."
🗣️ "That’s something that the courts and those responsible will have to decide. I feel sorry because how that team [Man City] played. With Guardiola, there were times when they were unmatched."

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

We're supposed to believe that the hero is a PLUMBER, the baddie is called BATHROOM - King of Bathrooms. They must think we're all round the U Bend.
Are there no depths Israel won't SINK to?

In the 80s, Pablo Escobar used the concept of "narco-philanthropy", where he adopted Robin Hood-like tactics such as building schools, housing, distributing food to buy local loyalty and form a social shield against law enforcement. He then used the same institutions to launder drug money.
Escobar even ran for Congress and won.
He was affectionately known as El Patrón, El Doctor, Columbia's Robin Hood
Sheikh Mansour’s impact on Britain and Manchester goes far beyond football:
🏦 Helped rescue Barclays during the financial crisis
🏠 Thousands of new homes in Manchester
🏗️ Major regeneration of East Manchester
🎵 Helped deliver the £365M Co-op Live arena
🏨 New hotels and commercial developments
👷 Thousands of jobs created
🏆 Bought City’s first FA Cup trophy and donated it to the National Football Museum
⚽ Transformed #ManCity into a global football powerhouse
A legacy far bigger than football. 🩵

Let’s be honest, does anyone actually think City stopped cheating in 2018?
I’m not sure they did it for 9 years and were then just like “yep that’s enough cheating and overachieving for us, we’ll play fair now”
My arse. Get them gone.

When will legacy media stop making headlines with the words of an ICC wanted genocide-architect in chief?
Then why are you publishing this headline @BBCNews?
What’s the point besides quoting a war criminal and vilifying Iran?

Stage 2 - means test the state pension
Stage 3 - scrap the state pension

🚨 UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese calls for ICC to open an investigation into the British ministers—including @Keir_Starmer, @DavidLammy, @JohnHealey_MP, @GrantShapps—who authorised UK participation in the Gaza genocide

Hey @flydubai, genuine question: according to Zionists reports, u hired an Omani pilot who had already been flagged by his own government over alleged extremist activity and removed from flying by Oman Air.
He was reportedly grounded, taken out of pilot training and moved to a desk job before leaving the airline.
How did someone with that history pass your vetting and end up flying a Tel Aviv route? 👀
