Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

"Loss without scoring or by 2+ concerning." 22 shots. 1 on target. xG 1.68, xGC 1.36, and yet we lose 2-0. Preston starting to look like a blip. A welcome one, but an outlier nonetheless. We drop to 17th. "Concerning." #askwxm #wxmafc

Predictions for today? I'm going for a score draw. Blackburn unbeaten in 4 til last match against West Brom, all against mid-ish table opposition. They've won their last two at home, but conceded each time. Score draw would be good. Win very good. Loss without scoring or by 2+ concerning. #askwxm

Something seriously going badly in the heads of these players. Capable of so much better. Hyam off for Rathbone, so what's the formation? Are we going to take 15 seconds to sort that out? Nah, throw it in and hope a back 4 will just magically come naturally. With context, this is shit. #askwxm

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

Cracking goal by Kieffer! Got me off the sofa! The team let down again by the so-called experienced defenders. Look, if you can't be arsed, just say so, and you won't get picked. And if you want to wear the captain's armband, you should be putting in a far better shift than that. #askwxm

We need two more center backs named Doyle. Vyner allows the equalizer in eerily similar fashion to the last match, Hyam fails to keep pace with his man to prevent what’s currently the winner. After such a screamer of a goal from Moore, this is disappointing - even if we equalize. #wxmafc #askwxm

Overall, 18th after 9 last season felt kind of expected given recent promotion. 15th after 9 this season feels below par due to much better results in the second half of last season. Converting last season's losses to wins is necessary. Tonight's match is key to show progression. #UTST #askwxm

West Brom H: 2-3 Loss last season. These are the kinds of matches we need to be turning around from last season to make the push for promotion if it's going to happen this season under Parky. #askwxm #wxmafc

Our season properly kicked off after Boxing Day beating of Sheffield United, 5-3. We went from 14th to 6th in a month (7 games) and stayed close. It would be nice not to have to wait until after Christmas for things to click and performances and results improve. #askwxm #wxmafc

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧡

"The Israeli military has raided Birzeit university again in the occupied West Bank.. it then demolished a memorial dedicated to Palestinian students killed by the Israeli military" Nida' Ibrahim explains this is part of a wider attack on the national Palestinian identity.

Can someone put their foot straight thru one of these Danes? We need the proof to take to UEFA that this ref is corrupt as hell. So many terrible tackles from them and nothing from him. #WalDen #askwxm

Not sure I can say this clearly enough: F*ck your TV license, BBC. You have enabled the rise and mainstreaming of fascist sympathies in the UK by platforming Farage above anyone else. And worse, you won't stfu about the Traitors. Zero value for money. Change and get f*cked. #WalDen #askwxm #bbc

No foul on Koumas, then a foul by Koumas for doing the exact same thing. Ref showing his bias towards Denmark very clearly so far. Pretty disgusting at this level. #WalDen #askwxm

On Suella Braverman's national identity claims, if the logical conclusion of her argument is that she'd discriminate against your own direct ancestors and remove freedoms from them that they had at the time, she's nothing more than a blithering moron, and anything she says should state that caveat.
