Thread | So Trump IS in the Epstein files and his AG told him in May
at 22:20 23 Jul 2025
Yet he said this just last week and all his cabinet have lied all week to say he isn’t, or the files simply don’t exist.
Yes, most people knew he had to be given his close relationship, but the fact he has the Speaker shutting down congress to avoid votes on releasing more information and every cabinet member lying for him would, again, in any normal democracy see him finished.
Wall Street Journal (owned by Murdoch) who Trump has/is threatening to sue has clearly had enough of him and released the evidence they have [Post edited 23 Jul 22:24]

Thread | Can AI replace Phil?
at 14:27 16 Jul 2025
It's the question we've all been thinking and rather than it be buried in the Thomas Rigo thread, here is AI's answer for all to see:
I asked the question after Phil's declaration it won't be long before he's replaced. It's a love/hate answer :)
Replacing Phil Ham of TWTD.co.uk — the long-running Ipswich Town Football Club news and fan site — with an AI agent would be an extremely complex, and arguably undesirable, undertaking. Here's why:
What Phil Ham Brings to TWTD
1. Deep Institutional Knowledge
Phil has covered Ipswich Town for decades. He possesses:
- A vast historical memory of players, staff, and events.
- Contextual understanding of the club’s culture and fan sentiment.
- Trust and access to sources inside and around the club.
2. Editorial Judgment and Voice
- He knows when to break news and when to hold back.
- His editorial voice feels authentic to fans — rooted in community, not algorithms.
Community Presence
- TWTD isn’t just news; it's a community. The forums, commentaries, and match reports foster fan interaction.
- Phil’s presence lends credibility and consistency — he IS part of the community
🤖 What an AI Agent Could (Theoretically) Do instead of Phil:
Automated Match Reports & Previews
Pull live stats and generate reports.
Summarize press conferences or transfer rumors from multiple sources.
Provide lineup predictions based on past formations and injuries.
Moderate Forums (Carefully)
Flag abusive content.
Highlight useful fan insights for articles.
Generate Archives & Data Tools
Let fans search by season, player, manager with rich summaries.
Create interactive timelines of matches, injuries, goals.
🚧 What AI Can’t Replace (Yet)
Human Trust and Credibility: AI lacks the human relationship Phil has built with fans and club staff.
Humour, Sarcasm, and Nuance: AI struggles to replicate the wit and banter that make football journalism fun and authentic.
Editorial Integrity: An AI may regurgitate rumors or misleading sources unless expertly supervised.
Fan Engagement: AI cannot attend matches, shout in the stands, or feel the collective mood of Portman Road on a rainy Tuesday night.
Conclusion:
Could an AI replace Phil Ham?
Not meaningfully — not without losing what makes TWTD a trusted and beloved part of Ipswich Town fandom.
His knowledge, tone, and trust are irreplaceable assets" [Post edited 16 Jul 14:28]

So in 2 days we’ve gone from Trump’s AG saying they never existed to Obama, Biden and Clinton wrote them and if they are released don’t believe them.
He and his mates are clearly worried and playing the ‘old hits’ fake news agenda
Here’s the full deranged message from Trump/Miller

He’s also selling devices, made in the USA. This sprang to mind

Owner front and centre on the graphic to celebrate being back in Europe 😂
Remember, this is also an owner who is no longer a ‘person with significant control’ after putting them into a blind trust to avoid UEFA sanctions
