Anyone who thinks that the State Pension rising by inflation or 2.5% each and every year is some how a cut for pensioners is either an idiot, playing politics, or both.

Matchday timings for tomorrow 📋 Immediately before kick-off, we’re asking supporters to join us in paying respects to PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough, who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty. We will show our appreciation for the dedication and hard work of both men and Cleveland Police Force in protecting and supporting our local community.

Spot on @BBCTees @TeessideLive @itvtynetees . Stop giving the criminals so much air time!!!
The country should be asking why the officers killed on the A66 must compete for public attention with balloon releases and flare displays for those in the car that struck them. PC Tom Clough and PC Matthew Blades went to work and did not come home. Their families now live with an irreparable loss. Respect for the dead means honesty about the circumstances, not the manufacture of folk heroes from reckless behaviour. Britain cannot build safer communities if it permits a culture that reserves its loudest rituals for those who put everyone else at risk.

Brilliantly put.
If your family member is either an habitual law breaker or associates with those who are, and is currently unconvicted by more luck than nature, do not attempt to blame police for trying to prevent them from bringing misery to decent people’s lives. The route to this tragedy sits with those now demanding answers and the deaths of two decent police officers is the consequence of that failure.

Absolutely Mike!! There should also be a media blackout of the scum whose deliberate actions led to this. The only focus should be on our fallen Officers and their families, friends and collegaues. Stop giving the chavvy scum balloon releases etc air time.
2 courageous police officers killed by out of control scum .@ShabanaMahmood .@ukhomeoffice All our thoughts remain with the officers families, friends and colleagues. Also, with all those who attended the scene. ♥️

Fair comment. @BBCTees @TeessideLive @itvtynetees @TheNorthernEcho . Stand with our law abiding and respectful majority in our community and focus on the only victims in this avoidable tragedy. PC Clough and PC Blades, their families and all @ClevelandPolice . Not the scum.

As a Teessider, Im devastated by the killing of two of our Police Officers. While there are a few supporting the scum responsible, I’m proud at how many people in the region are united in their absolute disgust and vocalising it loud and clear. We stand together against the scum
People blaming Tiktok for the A66 crash in Middlesbrough who still believe its some kind of tragic accident need to wake up Cole Worthy, Jakub Hewitt, Makai Saddington, Michael Ray and Theo Rae were not just some random kids following a tiktok trend They were part of a group of scuffy ***** that make life miserable for the good people of our town Torturing old people, robbing, hitting people as they pass on their bikes, throwing stones at random people, Vandalism. I could go on all day Their families and friends are holding balloon releases and vigils. They genuinely believe they are the victims here. "Good lads" "Wouldnt hurt a soul" Maybe you should have given a f*ck about them when they were alive and they wouldnt have turned into complete and utter scumbags Now two police officers have been murdered. Call this what it is No shame, no common sense, no morals, no respect for others, no social awareness (they never have it) See it all the time here The real people of Middlesbrough hate you with a passion

There isnt a person from Middlesbrough who has any sympathy for those 5 scumbags who killed two police officers We are tired of you Tired of your friends Tired of your families Tired of the people who defend you Tired of all evil people who make life difficult for others We just want to work, sleep and live a peaceful life Except we cant, because brain dead evil people keep raising brain dead feral offspring No shame or sense of morals. No respect for other peoples welfare, no concern for anyone elses property. No peace Being working class or poor does not make you evil like this. Far far far from it. In my experience it actually makes people kinder and more grateful for the good things It does not create these people. Most of our town is pretty poor. This is a handful of families that cause most of the problems. THAT IS IT And dont even get me started on the noise. Social awareness is a sign of intelligence. They just cant shut the fuck up. Anytime of the day They dont talk, they always shout. Dirt bikes and fireworks all day Something has got to give. This has to be a turning point for Middlesbrough. I was born here and I aint fucking leaving (leo dicaprio voice) We cant be vigilantes. Its dangerous, wreckless and wrong, so its up to the council and the government to sort it out So what are you going to do @andyburnham? We (myself included) have voted for Labour our whole lives So what is your plan?

FIFA corruption is plain to see. FIFA and America have ruined the World Cup. Politicians interfering with sporting decisions, fifa agreeing to unnecessary ‘hydration breaks’ to allow for more advert breaks for American broadcasters. It’s not the f*****g Super Bowl!

US President Donald Trump has thanked Fifa for suspending Folarin Balogun's ban. #FifaWorldCup

On another note - important to note that the final was contested by two sides who play and act with footballing integrity. Yes, my club lost today, but Hull go up having won fairly without cheating. Good luck to them next season. I’m just pleased that Saints cheating was punished
Congratulations to @HullCity . Gutted, but our lack of quality up front has cost us massively since January. Hull took their chance and finished it. Work to do at Boro over the summer.
