members walked off the job last week, I urged other workers to follow our example.
I have to say I am slightly surprised the cabinet were among the first to listen.
So according to the

when Iran fans disrespect the national anthem in a protest at the regime it’s good, when Liverpool disrespect the national anthem in a protest at the regime it’s bad
Anyway we were having a few pints in the cracke yesterday and Sean Lennon comes in for a Guinness in the pub his dad used to drink in. He had a good look at all the political stickers and posters and wanted a photo in front of the Hillsborough Justice poster.
Some people are saying it’s unusual that a group of white working class, young, football lads are celebrating, after helping 2 asylum seekers into the U.K. And maybe so, but I would suggest, one reason they are different is they have deffo never read the S** paper in their lives.
Many thanks to
@ManCity
for letting LFC fans in the ground today to prepare for tomorrow . Half the ground is now covered in liverpool flags including a new champions one and we have agreed the crowd audio with
@SkySportsPL
for the audio which is all liverpool songs to celebrate
7 yrs ago we lost Anne Williams.
A normal mum who was forced to become a fighter, who in turn become a leader, and then an inspiration not only to a whole city, but to any working class person around who finds themselves wronged by the State, and tries to fight back.
Sunderland, Watford and stoke all lost FA or league cup finals against a financially doped Manchester City.
That’s the thing it’s not all about the biggest clubs, those fans might not get that chance again in the next 50 years
In the last few years liverpool have -Signed good Muslim players, made songs about them, “found” refugees on a coach returning from Paris and had a whip round for them, chased tommy Robinson’s lot away x 16, booed the national anthem, Won the European cup. Fuckin scouse bastards
The S** is about to go bankrupt, LFC are the best team in the world and it’s against the law to go to work.
Fuck sake I thought that genie was messing when he said I had 3 wishes
A request to all
@LFC
fans going to Ukraine this week. If you have made a banner with a reference to “chicken Kiev” on it, could you kindly set fire to it today please, and then set fire to yourself. Thanks in advance, you gang of beauts. 👍
I would encourage every single worker in the U.K. to read and familiarise themselves and save onto phones, the following, before Sunday, when the psychopaths who run the country, attempt to make you work as normal. Everyone should have this
Teachers,nurse, shop worker, bus driver,builder,91 year old pensioner,students,bar staff in a local pub, bin workers, Argos delivery driver,all come to our

picket line today and said, thank you, please keep fighting, you can win, we fully support you, we need you to win
The
@HJC_Official
shop has been knocked down. From that shop in a deprived area of LIverpool a campaign was fought that rocked the establishment. But it’s the people inside it that made it a special place, and that had some of the very best. JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Sky just said “ it was good to hear the Leeds fans today, some of it was pretty close to the knuckle, but good to hear.”
So…96 won’t be missed, always the victim, the sun was right, just a soft scouse bastard(to elliot) , as well as booing taking the knee and then salah.
Hmm
From this little building, was a grassroots campaign that against all the odds, fought the British establishment and today stands as a beacon for justice campaigns around the world.
Scouse Mums eh.
When the S*n printed that story, the mums mobilised, emptied the shops of that paper, and started bonfires. Started maybe the greatest boycott going.
Just on the train down the coast from Porto to Lisbon. Walked up and bought the ticket for 30 euro. Fast Wi-Fi, TVs, a bar with beer 1euro something each. This would be first class in England and cost £200 for the 170 mile journey.
People struggling to give tickets away for the final tonight. There are flights from Manchester to Istanbul this morning that they can’t fill.
Stockport County with a with billion, nothing more.
My daughter and her boyfriend had a argument in the pub about if dwarfs exist. (I have no idea how that conversation started) He thought they were extinct 👀

Amazing isn’t it. The tories go on about Union Barons, by which they mean democratically elected leaders.
Then when the 350 MPs they have are not good enough for cabinet they bring back a retired unelected leader, and do it by making him a Baron.
7 years ago we called for a boycott of Hull away when they charged us double of some other teams.The away end which could of sold out 100 times over was less than half full. Oh how we were abused, you’ll never change anything.
£30 away tickets were introduced and remain in place
My grandad died in 1986 aged 61, my Nan in 1991 aged 63. That was around the average age in Everton then. Where’s their pension they paid in all their life. He was merchant navy in the war. Now life expectancy is higher they still keep our pensions out of reach. It’s class war.
Liverpool didn’t return with a win but did bring 2 young lads back looking for a better life. It’s better than them floating over in a dinghy. Good luck to them wherever they are now.
Well done to the
@spiritofshankly
for talking to the club and sorting a extra coach back to Castellon after the first ones left full.
The union, still helping the fans at midnight. Up the reds!
The Nou camp has 99,354 capacity.Yet they have hardly any disabled spaces.
@lfc
got given 5. As it stands we have atleast 3 disabled people that have not missed a match this season,anywhere, that can’t go. Some booked flights early as they always do. MORE THAN A CLUB, so they say
Bernard Ingram as well as being a horrible Tory, was involved in the instigation of the Hillsborough cover up from the very start. He never swayed from it or apologised. I am sorry he has died an old man aged 90. I would of preferred it many years ago.
My Everton comrades from
@SFoodbanks
took food today to the nearest food bank to OT. Man U fans sang,their anti working class song, feed the scousers. It’s us feeding you and it’s right we do,we are on the same side in the class war. No wonder half of greater Manchester went tory
Twitter is in meltdown. It seems most are outraged and confused that LFC fans booed the national anthem. LFC fans are confused why people are arsed about a song asking god to save a 100yr old billionaire, living in a palace, protected by a thousand armed police.
On the 19th April 1989 the sun newspaper ran "that story"
The same morning groups of Liverpool mums grabbed them from the shops and burnt them outside. The boycott had started and is still as strong as ever.
Never ever buy the Sun.
I doubt if I have been a Liverpool away match, in the U.K. or Europe, even pre season friendlies, when I haven’t seen Yvonne McLeod. Her and Mac were inseparable until his passing a year ago. This will of put a dark cloud on the final for many match going regulars. RIP Yvonne
VAR have ruined the greatest sport in the world. I didn’t cheer the first 2 goals because of VAR. Then I did cheer and it was disallowed, and the last one was never in doubt but they have drained all enjoyment from the game. Shite
The imaginary protests being organised by twitter accounts that couldn’t find Anfield on a map, are the same accounts, that moaned when the

When Britain ruled the waves. Land of hope and glory.
Our class were starved and bare footed. My mums grandad and his brother were took from the family and sent to Canada aged 8 to “White” the empire. Fuck the empire, fuck the land of hope and glory.
It was glorious for the rich
Absolutely fantastic to hear one of the greatest trade union leaders this country as ever seen open up the 2022
@RMTunion
AGM talking about the battle of Saltley Gate in this city 50 years ago, the great strike of 84-85 and the sell out of the labour leadership.
Anne never trusted the system, or the state to deliver justice. She never trusted certain people now considered saints. She had her own dossier of evidence that no one would look at. She become a legal expert. I wish she was alive, her analysis of what went on would be spot on.
Stood in our end today and watched Liverpool get a late equaliser against our huge rivals.
And I didn’t really celebrate cos of VAR. They have fucked the game for those of us in the ground, regardless who you support.
tonight
@spiritofshankly
and Bayern Munich fans both done various banners over away ticket prices in a joint protest. Ours were in English and German, here’s the Bayern ones from our end. European giants on the pitch and our union are regarded as among the best activists off it
The “blame the fire brigade” story in the news about the Grenfell disaster is the equivalent of blame the ticketless fans story about Hillsborough. The blame once again lies with those in power, not those who saved lives.
Anne Williams should of been celebrating her 70th birthday. I believe that everything the State put her through led to her premature death. Never forget.
That group of players just lost a game for the first time in over a year. Why the fuck would you walk out with 20 minutes to go like hundreds did. Stay and clap them, you might never see another run of games like that in your life.
Hillsborough,Orgreave, Spycops, Shrewsbury, Blacklisting, Stephen Lawrence,Mark Duggan, Bloody Sunday, Ballymurphy,Christopher alder, Guildford, Birmingham , Shoot to kill,Ian Tomlinson, sean rigg, Jean Charles De Menezes. YOU DONT STOP THIS BY ASKING THE BRITISH STATE TO BE NICE

cleaners on Churchill contracts and euro star are on strike today, for £15 a hour and proper sick pay.
From Peterborough to Kent to central london to east Croydon it’s solid.
It’s just took almost a fuckin hour to vote and it’s torrential rain. So 3 tips.
1. Take a waterproof coat.
2. Take a portable phone charger.
3. If you intend voting Tory, come back tomorrow when the rains stopped.
This season Everton fans have been lucky enough to support some of the greatest clubs in the world. Manchester City, Seville, Roma, and now Real Madrid. Of course their one true love remains Manchester United.
When no one from outside LIverpool would touch the place in the 80s,Tony organised a gig called, From Manchester With Love. The money went to the fight against thatcher. When he died, some of liverpool groups send a floral tribute to his funeral, it said, From Liverpool with love

RIP fellow underground worker. 42 years on the job getting up in the middle of the night and working come hail, rain or snow to feed his family. His many years of retirement robbed from him and his family. I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the British government.
