I’m all for people having opinions but to bash people who clearly have an addiction is farcical. “SKY BET” league two - leagues main sponsor is a betting company. Most advertisements and shirt sponsors are betting companies. Yet the FA can’t stop the root problem 😂

For @brumdispatch I'm covering Moseley - is it past it's heyday or is there life in the old bohemian stomping ground? Want to speak to residents, business owners, those who go out there!
Fabulous letter from the great Deborah Moggach in today’s Times.

“We have to get behind efforts to preserve The Crown..and look at ways the city can embrace music tourism…not just for economic impact but civic identity too” Thanks to @danielcave_ for including my words on Ozzy and Brum music heritage in @brumdispatch birminghamdispatch.co.uk/brum-bids-good…
I’m so mad that people associate em dashes with AI now. They were learning from the writers 😭😭😭 we did it first 😭😭😭
This isn’t ambitious spending. This is hoarding in the hope that something works whilst simultaneously stagnating the careers of some really good young players.
🚨🔵 Understand Chelsea are advancing in talks with Xavi Simons on personal terms! Xavi, keen on the move and open to joining Chelsea… direct talks in progress to agree contract details and terms. Chelsea want to be fast ahead of club to club talks with Leipzig.
I don’t have too much sympathy I’ll be honest. But everywhere you fucking look in football is gambling ads. He plays in sky bet league 2 ffs. You can’t punish people for something you’re shoving down their throats. The FA have to do better as well!
I feel so sorry for JJ, I hope the club give him all the support he needs, we’re all behind you JJ. Betting laws in football are so stupid, allowed to promote and wear it on your shirt, but persecuted when the footballers bet. All behind you @jellis_jamie❤️

Farewell Ozzy … what a journey … sail on up there .. finally at peace .. you truly changed the planet of rock!
Incredibly frustrating to see this playing out at Smithfield. Yet again art/culture slips off the planning agenda. We have the chance to be Birmingham’s Bilbao and a gallery of national importance could transform the city. When will we learn? birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
Heinous. Want to read why just throwing up housing without facilities and community-making elements is shit and atomising? Read this: birminghamdispatch.co.uk/who-lives-in-t…

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
Brummies - do you any of you know the SnaggedBros fishing influencers? Looking to speak to them for @brumdispatch for a fun piece on West Mids waterways? RTs, comments, shares, texts to mates appreciated! youtube.com/c/SnaggedBro
This pic was taken at Dominic West’s wedding. Andre Royo is 4 years sober. Sonja Sohn and Wendell Pierce have invested millions into Baltimore. The Wire wasn’t just a show. It changed the actors lives forever. They are a family.
