A notebook for half-formed ideas and other things on the mind of Emma Cragg.

Newcastle United

When you turn to the sports pages today you'll see elated Newcastle fans celebrating the end of the Mike Ashley era. That's something I can join in with but what comes next is not.

I can't ignore the human rights abuses of the new owners. I don't want to support a team that is funded by the leaders of a country where people like me are flogged and put in jail.

I hoped for something better for Newcastle but this isn't it.

I'm out.
