It’s been a poor week for the Guardian who have managed to show some racism through incompetence. When they announced (the very sad) Death of Denise Johnson they used a picture of another black woman (Mary Pierce) and had to print the following at the bottom of the article: ”This article was amended on 27 July 2020 to replace the main image. A captioning error in photos supplied by an agency led us to publish a picture that was not of Johnson as claimed. It was further amended to correct the incorrect assertion that Johnson sang on Higher Than the Sun, to remove a video showing that song, and to correct Johnson’s age and date of birth.” And today Owen Jones has written an opinion piece “Tackling racism on social media is just the tip of the iceberg“ and incredibly the article says: ”This article mistakenly carried a photograph of Kano when it was first published. The Guardian apologises unreservedly to Kano and our readers for the error, which has now been corrected. We would also like to clarify that Owen Jones was not involved in this error” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/29/twitter-boycott-racism-social-media-wiley-newspapers

Denise Johnson. What a fantastic singer and such sad news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-53558346

Partick Thistle sign Richard “Useless Cunt” Foster.

Fantastic to see Leeds promoted. A proper old school club with a great history, much of it involving Scots. Hope they do well next season.

Weir, Strachan, McDougall Miller (capt)

To cure some boredom...dream front pairing from any strikers that have played for us? I’ll go with Black and McDougall. Black was a great frontman and probably the best header of a ball we’ve seen. And for me McDougall was the best finisher we’ve ever had.

The most amazing thing about that steaming pile of horseshit (who gets in their car to test their eyesight) is I think Cummings & co believe that’s the end of it.

Yes I think that's a possibility, but with Durham police now involved BoJo is going to come under huge pressure. I think this could end very badly for BoJo. I suspect Cummings is very capable of taking him down and knows where all the bodies are buried (e.g. Russian report and god knows what else) - and that could be what BoJo was threatened with. What a ridiculous situation to put one man before the rest of the country. It would be funny if this wasn't about a pandemic. Absolutely shocking performance last night from somebody who is supposed to be leading the country through this.

Yep. I just can’t see him surviving, even by this Governments standards, this will run for a while yet. If it reaches PMQs then Starmer will pick the bones out of it no problem. They can’t tell people to self isolate for 7 days, and 14 for the whole household, just to go ahead and do their own thing. It’s amazing BoJo is getting away with sending stooges to face the music every evening.

Now Cummings is caught flouting the governments own rules. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/22/dominic-cummings-durham-trip-coronavirus-lockdown
