'No pasarán': Spain laps up Clapton CFC's anti-fascist football kit
London non-league club’s shirt salutes International Brigades who fought in Spanish civil war
A London non-league football club’s away kit has become a surprise hit in Spain, because of the anti-fascist message embroidered into it. Clapton Community FC have taken more than 5,400 pre-orders for their shirts, after pictures of the kit gained media attention on the continent.
The club said they only expected to sell about 250 shirts this season.
Clapton CFC have only existed since February, when they were set up in response to a dispute between fans and owners of Clapton FC.
The Clapton Ultras – as their enthusiastic and political supporters had come to be known – boycotted home games at the club’s historic Old Spotted Dog Ground for the whole of the 2017-18 season, after the chief executive attempted to liquidate the charity running the club, who had been playing at the ground since 1888.

The Daily Excess is at it again:

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1011169/greece-earthquake-larisa-trikala
The epicentre is located west of the town of Mouzaki, 17 kilometres southwest of Trikala and was felt in a wide area extending from the Ionian islands to the the city of Lamia and further north to Katerini, Seismology Professor Efthimios Lekkas told Greek TV channel SKAI.
“Half of the country shook,” Lekkas said.

Hm, bit difficult to imagine a 5.1 'quake in Trikala had much of an impact on Kef, but maybe some did feel it :dunno:
