England had a lot of ball in good places in the last 30 minutes .... Really should have scored a goal. Well done to Denmark on such heroic defending. Now to extra time. #ENGDEN
England again with all the ball .... Danes defending well (albeit with significant cheating as one expects) #ENGDEN
"Once you have paid him the Danegeld
You never get rid of the Dane." #ENGDEN
Raheem Sterling was impeded in a manner most foul. The whole Danish team should be red carded. #ENGDEN
Harry Kane now gets to live Gareth Southgate's nightmare .... #ENGDEN
The Danes just cannot stop fouling and cheating …. This said they are showing great courage and still have time to equalise #ENGDEN
Who is this simp on the commentary questioning the Raheem Sterling penalty? Raheem Sterling was on his way with the ball & if it had been an English defender doing this, he would have been hanged from a goalpost by some FIFA referee embittered by envy of Anglo Empire #ENGDEN
Also: massive Kudos to UEFA for having a football competition with so much talk of "respect" and human rights that is sponsored by Qataris and Russian Gazprom. #ENGDEN
Raheem Sterling should be knighted after this game #ENGDEN
Well done to Gareth Southgate - sport, generally, has all too few gentlemen and it is wonderful to see Gareth and his team do so well. #ENGDEN

Sydney, generally, and the nation as a whole, would benefit a good deal from a media that did not catch pneumonia when it ventured west of Newtown ..... #COVID19nsw#Sydneylockdown
Shorter Media: "I cannot believe all these migrant families have functional relationships between parents & children & they look after each other...they do not abandon their parents & then go overseas, only to complain on social media about quarantine" #COVID19nsw#Sydneylockdown
Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 13 .... Good morning to all on this sunny but cold, lockdown-ish, Sydney day. The Sydney CBD is dead - it may not be Melbourne dead, but, for Sydney, this is dead.
Sydney is full of people from somewhere else - media now pointing accusing fingers at ethnic communities for not being North Sydney, or young foreign people stranded here on visas, is one of many things to hate about this era. #COVID19nsw#Sydneylockdown
In the now existential battle between our lilywhite Covid paranoids (reflected in the media) vs Sydney's family-oriented, multi-generational ethnic communities (who the media attack), not hard to work out who to sympathise with. #COVID19nsw#Sydneylockdown
RIP Ben Shapiro account ….. killed in action when trying bravely to burn the villages of the poor in order to save them.
The US’ own “Conservative Inc” pundits - completely removed from reality and the disastrous consequences of their heroes idiocies - are the best argument for universal conscription for wars.
Ben Shapiro’s takes are of a borderline ‘student blogger’ quality but how any sensible adult could look at Bush43 as other than a catastrophically bad leader is bewildering.
Amid all the fury unleashing online re St Josephs: the school does have Indigenous & rural students & if vaccinating the whole of Year 12 ("one in, all in") cured any vaccine hesitancy, then good. Any fury should be for NSW Health which "owns" Pfizer doses smh.com.au/national/nsw/y…
Would have thought - esp given #NAIDOC2021 - that one of Australia's better known private schools. going, in the best Marist pastoral tradition, to NSW Health for Covid jabs to protect their Indigenous students & these students' communities, would be an example worth praising
Sadly, social media, esp Australian political twitter, is dominated by the loudest, most broken, voices, nursing grievances from, inter alia, high school & university, and unable to attribute good faith to any activity.
Watching the very good @ljayes on Sky & seeing the GPs try & get in on new Pfizer jabs. If you can get a Flu jab at your a pharmacy, why not for Covid? Doctors run patients late & usually mean detours from work
Where was this sense of urgency in January? When Professor Murphy & the rest of the Canberra 'head shed' was assuring us that 'all was in hand' and the media were going along with it
Like everyone in greater Sydney, waiting for the daily Gladystan Covid briefing and, more importantly, today's episode of the war metaphors of Brad "Chad" Hazzard .... yesterday was "The Hunger Games", today will be....?
Generally not one to defend the Hanoverians but King George III dealt with the American rebellion as any comparable monarch would have, in fact, somewhat more gently. His Parliament had too many irresolute ponces, for example, his Prime Minister, Lord North, and Edmund Burke.
It was not just the French and then the Spanish aiding the American rebellion - even the Dutch tried to plunge the dirk into the British Lion....for their grave sins in aiding rebellion against the British Crown, Napoleon occupied and plundered these countries
The Habsburg Austrians never recognised the American rebellion, nor did the Russians (clearly both with a view to not giving support to bad ideas cf the French). Ironically the Russian Tsar, who admired President Lincoln, would be the Union's only real ally in the Civil War.
