    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    They're going to end up having some sort of merger with Reform aren't they. If they can mange to stay relevant enough that Reform are even interested in that. The idea that the Tory party would be killed off by Brexit seemed complete fantasy a few years back but you look at the election...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You've kind of proved the point you're arguing against here. If you decided to walk down the street with a Nazi flag you'd be fine, there's no law against that unless police decided to act under hate crime legislation. Here's a photo from an IRA parade in the UK in April this year. The only...

    What moment still haunts you?

    Pretty sure we've had this conversation before on here but VAR as intended would be fine. It was sold to us on the basis of overturning clear and obvious errors. The kind of thing everyone in the ground can see but the officials somehow miss, things that would take seconds to correct. Somehow...

    Super Bowl in London

    Think there's far more chance of that than the Super Bowl tbh. Khan seems to be actively working to bring Wrestlemania to London. Can't see the Super Bowl ever happening here. Bad enough we have regular season games. I can kind of understand NBA, MLB and NHL having regular season games here...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Crazy to think we're at a point where we're not far off neither Labour or Conservative being in the top two parties in the country

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    We're really now just at a stage that should have happened within days of Israel starting its campaign. As soon as it became clear the response was disproportionate and targeting civilians and children that should have been the point at which the US President should have been putting pressure on...

    It's really that simple.

    Andrews and Dasilva

    Fucking hell, that was a decent finish 😂 Think that might be me done. Not competitive in the slightest.

    Andrews and Dasilva

    Might give that a go. Switched on to matterface and some horrific light show

    Andrews and Dasilva

    Same, but is it on ITV because that will mean Matterface and the percentage swiftly going down again.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    What is this now, the 5th time the war has been 'over'. just got to hope that this time a ceasefire can be attained and maintained.

    Manchester synagogue attack

    I must be missing something here because if you've arrested someone and they've then legged it to the airport only to be arrested again surely you don't let them out on bail?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    looks like Israel, as it has done before previous ceasefires, is intensifying its bombing of Gaza ahead of the deadline for the ceasefire. nothing says we are looking forward to peace like chucking a load of bombs around. sadly given the state of information networks in Gaza people there have...

    Immigration and Asylum

    never heard of this chap before but would be interested to know the wider context of what he's saying and how much truth there is in it.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't think you're listening to the points anyone is making. Its not about being apologetic for any action against airbases or destruction of military equipment, I've not seen a single post suggesting the law as it was at the time should not be applied to PA. Its about the government...

    What moment still haunts you?

    I've mentioned this many times before but the basic maths does not allow for using VAR for such close calls. When you allow for the speed of the ball, speed the defender is moving at, speed the forward is moving at, framerates and the camera angle the margin of error is huge.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Are you suggesting that before they became a proscribed organisation there was no possible means of charging individuals with any crime when they break into a RAF base and damage military aircraft? That seems to be a massive loophole the government should act to close. Instead they've chosen...

    What moment still haunts you?

    VAR at Wembley. Never felt anything like when Torp 'scored'.
