People taking sides over it on social media. Flood of articles / columns on my timeline.

Is that a culture war or is that just gobshites with a platform to air their gobshitery?

Shilton has no excuse for the mental impairment he's suffering from. He never headed a ball in his whole career.

Athlete's foot and yoghurt.

Piers Morgan is like something from a deleted scene in The Fly, where Jeff Goldblum tries to teleport a tub of lard, but he's accidentally left a Daily Mail in the machine.

Will the "culture war" over this signal the final triumph of identity ideology over class struggle?

No.

 

Next question.

Stoke baffles me

There are people in Stoke who actually think Liverpool is a shithole.

They can count the number of towns Stoke consists of on one hand, and still have fingers left over.

I was at a match against Stoke a few years ago.  I was down near the away fans and they were all singing "Liverpool's a shithole. I wanna go home." I shouted "you live in STOKE!" and some fat bloke looked across and gave me a "fair enough" shrug.

Broadly speaking, for the lack of better terminology and without giving it too much thought, it seems to be "traditionalists" versus "progressives", which may evolve when more of a national pride gets a bigger role.  But that is less interesting, more interesting is that "progressives" are entirely focused on identity, in this case racial. Hence my question / hypothesis about the final, symbolic  triumph of identity ideology or ideologies, which seem to be quite prevalent now, at least in the Anglosphere.

 

In one article (could be New Yorker) royal family is significantly referred to as "the bastion of whiteness", not the bastion of hereditary, aristocratic privilege. There is a situation of some kind of spat within that family unfolding in front of us, where two of them, based in a billionaire's home, rent free, and on a clear mission of further establishing their separate brand in the US speak about their problems with the rest of that vastly reach family to another billionaire, and all people talk about, what gets headlines, is how it affects the race issue, identity aspect.

No one know it better than Liverpool fans, but it bears restating: the British press are, with a handful of exceptions, pure fucking evil.

You mean a woman who has a husband who loves her accuses his family of being racist and he stands by her thus creating a divide between decent people appalled that she has had to go through and and those who think she is either lying or being "woke".
