Doesn't seem to be a big thing. Hard to find it mentioned and another example of making a story out of very littleDitto, must be a Twitter thing

That was the crux of the posts etc that were put out into the public domain which then of course got the expected reaction

Scum who are best ignored. Pity Rio felt the need to wake them up.Sorry social media
It did manage to highlight the racists
Rio Ferdinand makes perfect Bukayo Saka point after horrific racist abuse
England beat Switzerland in a penalty shootout 5-3 after the clash finished 1-1, with Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold all on targetwww.mirror.co.uk

That was my point -it’s not a good look all round - it shouldn’t matter what someone’s skin colour or ethnicity is when playing sport and the lowest of the low don’t need much to feel they are enabled

People thinking racism is a one way street. That's very irritating.
Most people are too busy living to pay attention to what "folk on the telly" say.

I get it... I can see why Rio did it. We can deny it all we want, but it exists. It may be below the surface or it may be front and center. The 3 lions got it when they missed the penalty. Had one of them missed this week, the red rags would be back to calling them names. Happens to some white players too.. Andy Murray is British when he wins, but Scottish when he loses. Similarly, the french team is the french team, but they are not allowed to speak about politics because they have to stay in their lane. Tiger, Lewis, Mbappe and others simply forced people to accept that they can do it despite all the resistance
But just because it is there, does not make it right.

Hospital parking fees. Had to drop something off today and it's cost me £2.70 for 13 minutes. That was entering the car park, walking to the department and then queuing to pay for 3 minutes

Agree completely. Unfortunately, social media has few filters, every single perspective can be found if you stumble across it.

Wife telling me about her day. She works in my eldest class. One of her friends (who my wife provides SEN support for) is in an induced coma as they can't stop her having seizures
Sounds horrible
Thoughts with those parents

HID had something similar when she was working in a school pre-Covid. She would fit in class regularly and sadly some staff thought it wasn't real and attention seekeing (there were a lot of issues around his pupil) but the parents, my wife and a SEN teacher worked hard to get her referred. Not before time as a tumour was found after a number of scans and operated on and she eventually made a full recovery and ended up with 10 GCSE's (3 at A*)

Absolutely lashing it down outside. I’m sat in the house in July with a jumper on freezing my nuts off. My fingers feel like they would if I was outside in December
