She continued: "The white jeans are a size 8 - a little snug yes, but on. The black ones are a size 10, roomy, comfortable and make me feel great. The blue ones, the ones that I couldn't even get over my a**e are a size 12. Is there any wonder no one knows what size they are?!
"This to me is madness and if I wasn't as comfortable in my own body and my own skin as I am, these jeans would make me feel rubbish, worthless, fat and the list goes on. But I am begging you all, PLEASE do not let the clothes define how you feel about yourself.
"You are more than a size label. You are more than those jeans that don't quite fit right. And if something doesn't fit you please remember that there is NOTHING wrong with your body and EVERYTHING wrong with the clothes.
"Don't get me wrong I appreciate, and have come to expect differences in sizing between brands and styles and I'm also aware that I've put on a few extra lbs throughout lockdown but I cannot comprehend a world where a size 12 pair of jeans are SMALLER than a size 8 pair of jeans?!?"

Becki added: "So hunnies, do not be discouraged by clothes that don't fit, don't let them distort your perception of your beautiful, wonderful body and certainly don't let them ruin your day. You are enough, just the way you are."
Her post really resonated with her followers and many praised her for sharing it.
One person replied: "Thank you for sharing this lovely- I think so many people need to hear it."
Another commented: "Great post...bonkers sizing. Well done you."
A third admitted: "This is exactly what happened to someone I know, and she became hysterical and was almost crying believing her weight has gone up massively. Thanks for sharing."

A former advisor to Donald Trump has been blasted for calling a black radio host a `` negro '' while on air .
In an interview days after the US President overturned his prison sentence , Roger Stone made the racially-fuelled remark to host Morris O'Kelly .
Trump ally Stone , pressed about the President 's decision to commute his 40 month prison sentence , was clearly heard saying : “ I don ’ t really feel like arguing with this negro.
” Mr O'Kelly , in disbelief , asked Stone to repeat what he had said .
In February @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40 months for lying to Congress , witness tampering , and obstructing an investigation into Russian links to the Trump campaign .
But last week Trump granted Stone clemency , meaning he will not be sent to prison .
Mr O'Kelly had suggested it was `` more than just luck '' that Stone was spared jail before the racial slur .
The host said on-air : `` I do believe that certain people are treated differently in the federal justice system .
I do absolutely believe that .
`` But I also believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Donald Trump weighed more heavily than him just wanting to make sure that justice was done by a person in the justice system , that you were treated so unfairly .
`` There are thousands of people treated unfairly daily .
Hell , your number just happened to come up in the lottery .
I 'm guessing it was more than just luck , Roger , right ? ''
After a pause , Stone was heard saying : `` I do n't really feel like arguing with this negro . '
'' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm sorry , what was that ?
Roger ?
I 'm sorry , what did you say ? ''
After a long gap Stone said the host was `` out of your mind '' .
In a blog post later , Mr O'Kelly wrote : `` 'Stone offered an unfiltered , unvarnished one-sentence expression of how he saw the journalist interviewing him .
`` He didn ’ t see me as a journalist , not as a professional , not a radio host…but a 'negro ' first and foremost .
`` Thirty years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them in radio .
'Negro ' was the first perjorative uttered .
The low-calorie version of the N-Word . ''
Stone later said in an interview with the Daily Beast : `` Anyone who is aware of my 30 years of opposition to the racist war on drugs will realize how fabricated this is . ''

`` What is interesting is when you take a 15 or 16-year-old - in the States , he would be in his second year of high school - and if he is playing at the average Eredivisie level and he is 15 or 16 , that to me is the real exploitation of data .

"What is interesting is when you take a 15 or 16-year-old - in the States, he would be in his second year of high school - and if he is playing at the average Eredivisie level and he is 15 or 16, that to me is the real exploitation of data.
"We’ll see how it turns out, but there was a lot of evidence that it was an incredibly shrewd, cost-effective risk to take on a guy that you had data on at a very young age."

thedailymirror--2020-07-19--Howard Wilkinson reflects on last time Leeds won promotion as champions

Leeds ’ promotion and title-winning success could hardly be more different from when they last came up as champions in 1990 .
Promotion and then the title were sealed without kicking a ball after beating Barnsley on Thursday behind closed doors at Elland Road .
Thirty years ago thousands of Leeds fans invaded Bournemouth for the final match of the season to see Howard Wilkinson ’ s side win 1-0 and return to the top flight after an eight-year absence .
That Saturday in May 1990 is part of Leeds folklore and Wilkinson recalls dabbling in mind games with striker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the eve of the must-win game .
“ We went down to Bournemouth on the Thursday and totally by surprise to them , I took them out for a meal , ” he told Mirror Sport .
“ Then on Friday morning , Bobby Davison gets an injury .

I ’ ve got my reasons and don ’ t tell anybody ’ .
“ I said to Bob , ‘ you will start the game .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it be might be three , it might be five , but you will start the game ’ .
“ The reason for that was the lad I was going to bring in , a lad called Carl Shutt , was not that experienced .

It was a total surprise to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only goal to secure promotion , but Carl played his part.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We had the first report of a potential unlicensed music event near Bath at 11.21pm on Saturday 18 July.
"Officers attended within 10 minutes, quickly established there were already several hundred people at the location – the former Charmy Down airfield, Upper Swainswick – and called for further resources.
"We had dedicated extra patrols on duty last night to respond to any reported unlicensed music events across the force area. These units were immediately deployed to this incident.
"Officers closed off the approach routes, however people were abandoning vehicles and making their way to the site on foot. Officers were still turning vehicles away at 6.40am today, Sunday 19 July.
"A full risk assessment last night concluded that the potential risks to public safety of an intervention to close an event attended by more than 3000 people in dark and wet conditions were too great.

"There were also other significant incidents across the force area including 120 999 calls which required an immediate police response and the attention of our resources. Therefore the decision was taken to contain the event until daylight hours."
Chief Superintendent Ian Wylie added: “We’re working with neighbouring forces and other agencies including Bath and North East Somerset Council, highways, and the ambulance service to close down this event in a controlled way and ensure those attending are able to disperse safely.
“We’re sorry for the disruption caused to so many residents by the selfish actions of the organisers of this event and those attending, knowing the problems it would cause and the ongoing risk to public health of large gatherings due to COVID-19.
"We will take appropriate action against those responsible and would ask anyone with evidence which could help to get in touch, quoting reference 1414 of 18 July.”
Another neighbour said: "Residents woke up to loud, thumping music around 5am, didn't know what it was.
"Usually the only sound in Bath on a Sunday morning is church bells.
"Swainswick valley is a stunning beauty sport, popular with walkers.
"A beautiful little hamlet nestled just behind the hills of Lansdown in the valley, a bit like the Sound of Music."
