I thought the English male commentators were bad. These English female commentators in the Spain-England Euro final seem unaware that there are Spanish players on the pitch. Hard to stick.
That cut is just silly. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
The first cut is the deepest. Béidh sí i dTir Chonaill amárach. Táimuid ar an taobh sa gheansaí bán agus glás inniu, mar sin.
🚨BREAKING: Policing of Palestine Action protests in disarray as police decide not to arrest sign-holders for terrorism in Totnes and Edinburgh Defend Our Juries: “The chorus of disapproval for Yvette Cooper’s barmy order grows louder by the day.” full: docs.google.com/document/d/1EI…
Twenty-eight doctors from Gaza are being held inside Israeli prisons, eight of whom are senior consultants in surgery, orthopedics, intensive care, cardiology and pediatrics. theguardian.com/global-develop…
The fate that waits Israel for decades to come —a place among the despised of the Earth - is not something that worries a sick 75-year-old trying to stay out of court. It should desperately worry Israelis and their friends. But at this stage they’re too far in.
The News Letter lead story online is an interview with these Pride protesters, who say there’s so much anger at Mike Nesbitt’s planned gender identity service that numbers at their protest might double next year. (No, I’m not joking.)
The genocidal theocracy has lost Germany. That’s how bad things are. The scramble to get onside now that it’s safe is sick-making.

Normally the highlight of our ringing on the Salisbury Plain is a cool migrant, but today a resident Bullfinch stole the show. Aside from that, migration was okay with 200 birds ringed including a record 38 Garden Warblers.
For the day that’s in it, a wee throw back to this day last year, raising the pride flag over Belfast!
Avocets have bred at the Aln Estuary, Northumberland, for the first time this year, and raised three chicks. What vociferous parents they are.
If you stand outside a building because you have legitimate concern about migrants, I have a legitimate concern that you may be a cowardly, mouth-breathing racist wanker. That legitimate concern is held by many of us. Don’t just dismiss it.
Miss Rachel is telling my granddaughter the wheels on the bus go round and round “all through the town”. I love her dearly, but it’s “all day long”. That’s all there is to it. Don’t dare fight me on this.
