‘It’s a flag ffs’ is quite an ironic comment to make right after saying it can be ‘weaponised’ and used as an intimidating tactic. This is doublethink in action.

Why can’t they? English common law is the basis of the free world. Canada, Australia, NZ do not need to be a part of the ECHR. Australia, by the way, had a similar issue with small boats from Indonesia and provide the blueprint for us to follow. On the Human Rights Act, it enshrines the primacy...

The British flag and identity is one of, if not the most fluid national identities out there. Unlike France and Germany, who trace their lineage back to the ancient ‘Franks’ and Germanic tribes of Germania… Britain as a nation state was created by an Act of Union in 1707 to include the English...

@shmmeee please give the lecture about how everything is actually great and it’s the public who have gaslit themselves into believing things are bad.

The specific example here is the hoisting of Palestinian flags in public places. A straight yes or no will do. Not a mealy mouthed response. Personally, if people want to fly that flag, they can on private property. I disagree with it being flied in public.

There have been Palestinian flags put in public places and have not been taken down. The Union Jack and St George’s cross are the two flags (as well as the other home nation flags) where there shouldn’t be any question of motivations behind displaying the flag. If you think the flag is being...

Agreed. In Birmingham Council, you had the Pakistani flag rose to celebrate Pakistani independence whilst simultaneously taking down the Union Jack and St George’s cross. That’s where this ‘Operation Raise the Flag’ began. Ordinary people find this v odd behaviour from government at all levels.

Nonsense. If the flag of your residence is a source of fear, it’s probably time to leave. Would you apply that logic to people hoisting the Palestinian flag being intimidating towards Jewish people? If your answer is no, you should probably explore that double standard.

Aren’t Germany negotiating with the Taliban for a returns agreement?

That is a) below median salary and b) many exemptions that are c) exploited. For example, take the social care visa route. There are more visas handed out than vacancies filled (therefore, high probability of fraud that isn’t being picked up) and in some instances, used to bring in multiple...

It’s ironic because freedom of movement was a topic that united Michael Foot, Tony Benn and Enoch Powell iirc. Yet, concerns over immigration aren’t caricatured as being fascist or right wing. It’s not and it’s only the internationalist liberals who believe in open borders and frankly, it’s...

It was left wing policy to secure a country’s borders pre-1997… It’s worth noting that asylum application approvals were around 2% at this time. The old Labour grandees would be rolling in their graves seeing immigration at the current levels and the ECHR undermining the sovereignty of...

Ngl, I hope we sign a winger before deadline day. BTA has played well in the last 2 league games, but at RW it’s a square peg in a round hole.

Yeah, he was playing with an Achilles problem, Potchettino mentioned it when Haji withdrew from the USA camp. I’d assume the staff told him to not risk that because you don’t want your star player rupturing their Achilles tendon.

Here is where I’ll recommend college football to you and any American football fan in the UK. A lot of the headline games are on at normal UK times. Ohio v Texas (ranked 1 & 2) are playing at 17:00 and Alabama v Florida State is at 20:30. I’m actually a bit gutted I’ll miss Ohio v Texas because...

I work with some Leicester fans and they are not optimistic about this season at all. Frankly, I don’t know too much about their team, I’m not convinced with their manager and neither are they. A QPR fan I work with wasn’t so keen on Cifuentes but perhaps that was a bit of sour grapes. It’s so...

That applies equally to BTA, Rapha and Andrews. We only started to create opportunities when we brought Rudoni and then Haji on.

Rapha should carry on as a 4th choice, ideally and assuming a winger is brought in before the deadline. There’s a player in there and I’m optimistic his development is best served here. As for Andrews, I’m erring to the side of a loan but given Lampard’s track record of developing talent, you’ve...

Thats an interesting concept. Frankly, I’m not sure it’d move the dial much in terms of interest. Attendances are a problem too and now the draw is ‘seeded’ in the next round… I wouldn’t be against the League cup being a Prem only affair. No one takes it seriously and only the top Prem teams...

He had a couple of nice touches and played a nice ball to BTA in the box in the 2nd half. Right now, you wouldn’t back him and make an impact if he was required to fill for a first team player. He’s a raw prospect. The same applies to Rapha. He’s still developing and if Lampard believes the...
