@andygilpin.bsky.socialYou’d think. Yet not always the case in my experience

@sachinnakrani.bsky.socialReposted by @andygilpin.bsky.socialDisgusting comments but not a surprise given the UKFPU’s long-standing mistrust and - let’s call it what it is - hatred of football supporters, coming from the very top in the shape of the shameless Mark Roberts. He and they are discredited voices in this debate.
@andygilpin.bsky.socialIsn’t that because you can’t copyright a recipe in isolation, but you can copyright a bit of writing which contains it?

BBC NEWS, ‘DANNY TOMMO’ AND THE DINGHY ATTACK THAT DISAPPEARED
While the rest of the media – even the very worst parts – report on Daniel Thomas’ actions, BBC News fails to give its audience the facts.
@andygilpin.bsky.socialGood lord
@andygilpin.bsky.socialYou’re absolutely right
@alexvont.bsky.socialReposted by @andygilpin.bsky.socialIncreasingly I have a lot of sympathy for the views in this thread. Yes, I’m typing this on a smartphone; yes, I’m part of the problem. And I think they’ve changed our social behaviour in hugely significant ways that we’re only just beginning to understand.
@cjayanetti.bsky.socialReposted by @andygilpin.bsky.socialNEW: A Tory council is lobbying the government to increase housing benefit, just as Kemi Badenoch pledges to cut it
An Enfield Council cabinet report said the housing benefit cap should be three times higher than the level Badenoch wants to cut it to
By me, for @politicshome.bsky.social
@andygilpin.bsky.socialAbsolutely everything from Wolverine Origins should just go away

@andygilpin.bsky.socialThat assumes the current occupant of No 10 has a substantially different view on this than his Home Secretary. Never seen anything from the man that would suggest that that’s the case
@thomasig.bsky.socialReposted by @andygilpin.bsky.socialIdk, kind of feel like if Kent Police had actually bothered to chuck a load of these people in the back of vans on Saturday (not least the actual fucking ringleader of these blackshirts), this could have been avoided.

@andygilpin.bsky.socialThose with a keen interest in taxi licensing not exactly underrepresented either
@andygilpin.bsky.socialYeah, having campaigned for years in an area with a large student population, can confirm that both registration rates and turnout within those registered tend to be very, very low
@andygilpin.bsky.socialDefinitely in use when I went in the early 90s
@andygilpin.bsky.socialYeah fair enough, looking at it I was probably overestimating how big a target it is
@andygilpin.bsky.socialCompletely fair that the Burnham honeymoon makes it a harder win than it would’ve been a few months ago, or might well be in a few months time. But if it’s a seat that’s in say the 30 most likely targets and it can’t be won at a by election, it just doesn’t bode well for a large breakthrough
