Still surprises me, in the very home of association football, and notwithstanding all the petulant history, esp on the Scottish side, that the four British "home" football associations cannot in 2021 join together to form one "British" football team. #ThreeLions -> Four Lions
Yes I know the history of why .... The Scots, who as Billy Connolly (no relation) said, are the only football side that does a "lap of shame", actually have the most to gain here.
The British Lions in Rugby are a far more interesting team than any of the four British Home unions and there is no reason why a British football team would not also finally achieve the same & be more reliably competitive esp in World Cups. We are a long way from 1872 etc.

Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 16 ....

#COVID19nsw #Sydneylockdown
This is all great etc but with shutdowns of bars and restaurants, there is a huge casual workforce that lives job to job for rent etc. They will need rent & eviction moratoria as well. These vulnerable have no union or lobby group. Sydney is in a coma.

This site in a few days will be media losing it online as to why large groups of young (esp foreigners stranded here on visas) will slyly congregate in Bondi & Manly when they have no money, no sources of support & everything in Sydney is shut down.

Massively buried lede here: "That referral and the subsequent investigations have produced two briefs of evidence, which have sat with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, Sarah McNaughton, SC, for more than a year."
Why?

smh.com.au/national/the-u…
One of the clouds hanging over Brereton is the actual evidentiary foundations of his report & all its damning conclusions. What may be acceptable for an Inspector-General's inquiry will not always be acceptable for a criminal trial in a Ch III court before a jury.
"Those statements have been gathered by a small AFP team of investigators which, since June 2018, has been probing some SAS members over allegations they directed the murder of Afghan prisoners." How were these statements made? What inducements were offered? How long ago?

Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 15 ....

#COVID19nsw #Sydneylockdown
It is almost 11am .... and our daily Gladystan briefing awaits ..... always wondered what living in Melbourne under the Dan Andrews regime was like, and now, being the open minded people we in Sydney are, we get to experience this, too.

Gladys appealing for more testing ....
50 new local cases of community transmission.
26 infectious in the community.

Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 14 ....

#COVID19nsw #Sydneylockdown
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 .....

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"

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.

#COVID19nsw #Sydneylockdown
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.
