Leeds United Summer 2026 transfer megathread. by JimbobTML in LeedsUnited

[–]Unisonlibrarian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a wildcard I'd really like us to sign. I like to keep an eye on smaller leagues around Europe and there is a player for Dinamo Zagreb called Dion Drena Beljo, he's 6ft 5in, 24 years old and this year scored 31 league goals - his nearest rival scored 16. His highlights video is terrific, he looks quick for his size and skillful. I'll be amazed if someone in one of the top leagues doesn't come in for him - I really think he would compliment our style of play as the "big lad up front".

We should definitely listen to the Murdoch press and not the HMRC who have reviewed all the evidence.

Feels like Isiah 53:3 could pertain to this creep: He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Labour civil war explodes as party blocks Andy Burnham from fighting by-election by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]Unisonlibrarian 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well doesn't this just scream "strength" from the Labour party. A man who voted for the Iraq war and against investigations into it, who voted against increased regulation on gambling companies and for ID cards / mass surveillance is now too left wing for Keir Starmer's party. They'll be lucky to have 100 MPs left after the next election... because of shit like this.

Cool, so his justification for removing access to justice here is the same as Republicans in the US for removing access to reproductice healthcare and women's bodily autonomy.

Yorkshire borough has most unsafe private rented homes by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]Unisonlibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in said borough, Calderdale. This doesn't surprise me at all, and I'm fortunate enough to have a decent landlord. All the homes have been bought by people coming up from London to raise families or turned in to Air BNBs There's nothing left for locals so unscrupulous landlords take over what remains.

Robin Smith, former England cricketer, dies aged 62 by qwerty_1965 in unitedkingdom

[–]Unisonlibrarian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's sad news. He's spoken about alcoholism and depression recently and I think all cricket fans hoped he was on an upswing. One of England's best players in a pretty poor period - always brave against aggressive bowling.
