U OK hun? 'Poundshop political agenda' is a bit rich coming from someone who admits to doing a bit of low level trolling elsewhere on the thread. Anyway, we know that for Tories anyway, Rishi's wife is the right kind of immigrant... rich, didn't arrive on a rubber boat, if only she'd paid her...

If true, I suspect it would be a meat grinder. Conscript troops with little training and low morale going against a well organised and fiercely determined resistance. Friendly fire, desertion, self harm, even suicide. This is exactly what happened to the Russians in Afghanistan. Apparently one...

Ah bless, you said something incredibly stupid, realised you couldn't defend it, so you're pretending it was a wind up and claiming victory. Grendel's slightly dimmer apprentice basically. Classic Tory, awkward truth, caught out, must deflect...

Get out of here, jealously my arse. What you're seeing is anger and disgust at the whole 'one rule for them and one rule for us' thing. If you weren't so obsessed with apologising for people like the chancellor, you might actually realise that you're a bit closer to us than you are to them...

In the meantime, here's exactly how the tax-avoiding billionaire's husband is helping the "greater good"... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/08/health-inequalities-uk-poverty-life-death

Don't forget geopolitics. I hate to say it mate, but if posting here is the most relaxing part of your day... well, how should I put this... Erm, basically, I wouldn't worry too much about paying your credit cards off in full each month. 😁

I think the mistake we're all making here is assuming that Government ministers or MPs will resign or be sacked if they're caught in an outrageous falsehood, criminal activity, or obviously corrupt practice. That's not how the modern Conservative party works.

Working for the greater good, or working to make sure that him and his enormously wealthy backers, friends, and family don't have to worry about a slightly more redistributive taxation system? How much evidence do you need of the corruption of the Tory party? How desperate does it have to get...

So, other than the fact that the Catalonian referendum had a clear result in favour of independence, and that the vote wasn't subject to foreign interference, and that Spain hasn't been invaded by another country using it as an excuse to commit brutal war crimes, I'd agree that the situation is...

Hold up a moment. Are you implying that the current government of Ukraine weren't legitimately elected? And if so, are you saying that that in any way justifies what Russia is doing right now? There's a world of difference between corruption, which it at least appears Ukraine was trying to...

And because of the madness of Putin, Finland is now very likely to join NATO, and the Baltic republics will be substantially reinforced. Ukraine isn't really about getting a buffer zone back, it's about putting the old Soviet Union back together, imho, something that Putin's made no great...

I absolutely agree that it's different, and yet there were still Russian soldiers shooting at US airmen and vice versa. I still think NATO's weakness here is ruling things out; that's just a green light to Putin. At the moment we're paralysed by our fear of his weaponry, whilst he sees no...

At the very least, everything that Ukraine asks of us, short of piling in directly. Ammunition, fuel, tanks, planes, the harshest possible sanctions on Russia, and fair warning to non-aligned states that anyone still supporting Russia might find western consumers and businesses looking to put...

Love it! My favourite ever player too. The beating heart of that team, and that's saying something...

Overtime is time-and-a-half on Saturday, double-time on Sunday. No other meaning is acceptable. 🙂

And we had one of the best young keepers in England on the bench too, iirc, Kirkland. Bloody madness.

And when Killer, Went up, To lift the FA Cup... 😁

I was there when Lloyd McGrath scored. And when he broke his leg in the Simod Cup...

Just to make the point, in rugby they don't stop the clock every time the ball is out of play. It's in the ref's control, and he'll usually stop it for substitutions and injuries, and for occasionally dealing with disciplinary issues and things like VAR analysis. I think something similar could...
