Barcelona doesn't sleep, shop windows smashed, stores looted, street on fire. The apocalypse has arrived in Spain too.

Rioters set fire to a building in France. A neighbour begs them: "Please, there are kids in that building!" Their answer: "We don't give a fuck! We're young, we want our rights!"

Unbelievable images. Stores stormed and looted. Barcelona, like Paris, Brussels, Milan, Rome, and other European cities. Europe in total chaos.

Why I'm optimistic 👇 For twelve years I've been banging on about this and now people are finally seeing it, evolving communism, cultural Marxism or whatever label you choose, it's all the same. The EU was never just about trade. It's a communist style structure. Centralised control. Unelected people at the top telling elected people at the bottom what they can do. You vote one way, they ignore you, and carry on anyway. How many times have we seen that? People ask how did we get here? It didn't happen overnight. It's generational. Go back to the sixties. You had all those left wing students demonstrating. CND, sit-ins, banners, shouting down anyone who disagreed. At the time we thought it was just students being students. Those indoctrinated students? They became the professors. They became the teachers, the lecturers, the BBC producers, the civil servants, the judges, the Archbishops, the people running the charities. The EU commission, NATO bosses, NGOs, UN officials etc And they taught the next generation. And that generation taught the next one. That's three generations now. There is a famous saying from the German student leader Rudi Dutschke. He talked about t The Long March through the institutions. And that's exactly what happened. You don't need to attack a public building with violence . That's too obvious. You just need to attack all the things within it. You attack the family - tell people the family is outdated, that mothers shouldn't be at home, that children belong to the state. You create such a costly environment, where buying bricks and mortar is impossible, a family today can't but a house with two wages, that keeps the mother at work, the child in third party hands for 8 hours a day in formative years. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, who's rocking your cradle. You attack the church - tell people faith is bigotry, close the churches, laugh at Christians while protecting religions with very like-minded controlling doctrines. You attack the schools - stop teaching history properly, stop teaching right from wrong, teach children to be ashamed of their own country. Encourage people not to work, to be dependent on the state. If the state controls you're income, it controls what you spend it on . You can never get out, or grow. You attack law and borders - tell people that a country that controls its border is racist. By the time you have done all that, you still have the same buildings - Parliament, the courts, the schools, the churches - but they mean something completely different. They have been hollowed out from the inside. That is what the EU is. It's the perfect vehicle for it. Laws made far away, that you can't vote out, that overrule your own courts and your own Parliament. It's control by committee. That's not democracy. That's communism by another name. Even worse quangos that control the news you see, the products you buy, the food you eat. Additives that benefit a few fed to the whole Nation despite health issues I voted Brexit because I saw it. A lot of us did. Some places voted 70% for less immigration and for control back, and we were told we were wrong. But now with AI we can look it up ourselves. We don't have to take their word for it anymore. We can follow the money, see who funds what, who sits on what board, and we can share it with each other. They can't hide it anymore, Musk opened The Twitter Files and showed the world what's really going on, we've information is power we have direct access to it and have grown in strength. Their Long March has been uninterrupted for decades, be patient, keep talking , keep sharing, they'll never reach the finish line. That's why I'm optimistic ❤️ .

When Bobby Moore was approaching the end of his playing career in 1977, he was hoping to move into management. He had captained England to the World Cup in 1966, made 108 appearances for his country and spent 15 years at West Ham before finishing his career with Fulham. At 36, he still wanted to be involved in football, and with his experience and reputation, he believed there would be opportunities for him. One of those opportunities appeared to be at Watford. Elton John had recently taken over as chairman and was looking for a new manager, so he met Moore to discuss the job. The two shook hands on a deal, and Moore went away on holiday with his family expecting everything to be sorted. Only while he was away, the club changed its mind. Watford appointed Graham Taylor instead. It was a difficult start to life after football, but another opportunity soon presented itself when Don Revie resigned as England manager. Moore wrote to the Football Association offering his services. He already held FA coaching qualifications and had gained experience helping with coaching during the latter stages of his playing career. In his application, he reminded them of his connection with England. “I know you are aware of how proud I was of my years with the England team.” The FA did not even send him a reply. Ron Greenwood got the England job, and Moore was left trying to find somewhere else to begin his coaching career. His wife Tina could not understand it. “How could anyone who had Bobby’s knowledge and expertise be overlooked in that way?” “Kids would have looked up to him and learnt things just by his presence.” The rejections continued. Moore eventually found work managing non-league Oxford City, followed by a spell coaching in Hong Kong and three years at Southend United. But nothing developed into the career he had hoped for, and neither West Ham nor England offered him a meaningful role. At home, things were getting increasingly difficult. Tina watched her husband become more withdrawn with every rejection, struggling to understand why the game he had given so much to seemed to have no place for him. “He was deeply depressed.” “He was very proud, and felt rejected, bewildered.” He even began waking up in the night from a recurring nightmare. “I’m running in sand.” “I can’t get anywhere.” Moore had been one of the most recognisable footballers in England, but by the late 1980s he was struggling to find regular work in the game. He took a job as sports editor of the Sunday Sport before joining Capital Gold Radio, travelling around the country with Jonathan Pearce to cover matches for £150 a game. His friend Jimmy Tarbuck even approached Peter Swales, who chaired the FA’s international committee, suggesting Moore could become an ambassador for English football. Brazil had Pelé. West Germany had Franz Beckenbauer. Surely England could find a similar role for the man who had lifted their only World Cup. Swales was not interested. “Are you serious?” Moore continued working in radio, and in 1991 he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Bobby Moore sadly passed away on the 24th of February 1993. He was just 51 years old. Years later, the FA erected a statue of him outside the new Wembley Stadium, recognising the man who had led England to their greatest achievement. But for Tina, the recognition had come far too late. “It’s all very well that there are statues to him now, but that should have happened during his lifetime.” “It was outrageous how the FA treated him, a scandal.” #football
