    FIFA Club World Cup 2025

    Was about to post this. Clearly scheduled for European TV. Why not have it in a much smaller stadium and give tickets to schools? Think the whole tournament is a bit of a farce to be honest. We'll be a couple of weeks into the season before the managers of these teams start moaning about there...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It may well be a cop out but how many reports & enquiries do we need to sort this problem out. It was a recommendation of the last inquiry, hasn't been implemented, its now been raised again but we're looking at 5 years plus of another inquiry. Its not just in these type of cases either. Try...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not read all of it yet, its 200 pages, but the report seems to say we don't have enough data because in the majority of cases ethnicity isn't recorded. to get more details of ethnicity historically requires more scrutiny at a local level but we're no longer have local inquiries because they've...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Weird how Israel seem to get a pass on this but pre-emptive strikes on Iran gets excused as "Israel has a right to protect itself"

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The big change that is needed is the recording of ethnicity data, as without that how can you study the data for patterns. However the previous inquiry found this is easier said than done. The main issue being you can only ask someone once they have been arrested and then they have the right to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This inquiry is sounding a bit like when the government of the day makes a lot of noise about an announcement only for you to later discover its something they've already announced before. So far we've had: NCA promising to investigate and jail predators who are part of a grooming gang - what...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Families Like Ours, a Danish show thats on iplayer (warning for Nick, there's subtitles!) Set in the near future sea levels are rising in Europe, the Netherlands have bankrupted themselves trying to come up with a solution leading to the Danish government deciding the best option is to evacuate...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    According to Ali Shamkhani Iran already offered to give up uranium enrichment as well as allowing weapons inspections, essentially a similar deal to JCPOA which seemed to be working relatively well until Trump unilaterally decided to withdraw the US. Trump rejected the offer, Israel then killed...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That seems unlikely while we're supplying arms to one side, training their troops and sending our own armed forces to the region to support them.

    Moving House

    God knows what is going on with the house next to me. Been empty for nearly a year board despite the fact it sold so quickly that a for sale sign never went up, just a sold sign. Not seen anyone come for any type of surveys or even to see if the place is still standing!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To go back to the actual inquiry where are people getting the full detail of the report from, I can't find it anywhere online. Or are people just asserting things without knowing what the inquiry will cover? What I am keen to known is how this inquiry is going to differ from the multiple other...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I see Trumps birthday rally he threw himself is another raging success. Also read how this is going to completely fuck all the roads as the tanks are pretty much double the maximum weight limit the roads can withstand.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    reports that he had a list of abortion doctors who he wanted to kill as well. if its anything like the trump sycophants on twitter they will claim he's actually a liberal.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    How many countries is that now just counting this year? And looks like Starmer is sending 'assets' to the Middle East ready to assist. Do other world leaders not realise how stupid they look when they keep saying Israel have the right to self defence when they launch pre-emptive strikes, by...

    Could say the same for Vik. We've had rumours of him going to Arsenal since he was here.

    cricket 2025

    started off with a total of less than 50 games, now its up to 133, which isn't even the highest they've had it. even with that many matches though it wasn't really a problem, they'd schedule the vast majority for during the summer school holidays. then along came the hundred and since then...
