Just imagine how different our world could be, if we only started with the basics. As Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis once stated: “There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.”

Continued thread

Old Trafford (the stadium) always struggled to build more because the trains ran alongside the place. And then the other side of the train track, none of the residents would sell their place.

I guess Manchester United has finally bought all the houses around the stadium and convinced the local government to shut off the train line to Liverpool whilst they redevelop the entire area.

Some big big money being thrown around here.

I grew up around Old Trafford and I'm not really sure what I feel about Manchester United's new stadium.

I mean, on one hand, most of Old Trafford is a shit hole and needs a refresh - this will certainly do that. But it doesn't really feel like the new development "fits" into the surrounding area.

Also, the club are a few spots off relegation this season and have had a shockingly bad few years. What a time to announce the new build.

Now in Manchester, England.
'Palestine Action activists have taken over the entrance of Aviva’s Manchester office!
Aviva insures UAV Engines, a weapons factory owned by Israel’s biggest arms firm. Without this, Elbit couldn’t build drone engines in Britain to power Israeli military attacks.
Come down and show support!
🚧 Police have set up a cordon, but you can see the action from Pall Mall.'
