They can't be used safely, that's the point. The smoke is either unpleasant and dangerous to breathe, or the marine flares are an actual fire hazard (they're designed to burn at very high temperatures). The way to make it go away is the same as anything else unacceptable or dangerous, educate...

Since when has being able to let a pyro off been a required part of supporting a football team? Standing, I get, singing, even with rude words, fair enough, but what do flares add to the game that means they need to become a protected item? It's bollocks I'm afraid, if we can't generate an...

Please don't take away my fantasies, mate. At my age it's all I've got left. 😁

The last question is easy enough to answer; no one who supported or voted for brexit is going to concede (yet) that it was a terrible decision. On that basis, all that's left is to find someone to blame for the fall-out. Having spent decades whilst in the EU blaming them for things that they...

Brexit always meant extra passport checks at the border. The Government (and Dover), knew about what would happen back in 2020. It was a conscious choice to do nothing about it. The government rejected additional funding for more passport control booths at Dover. Brexiteers like Truss are...

Looks like you were in the posh seats there, SBWM. I bet they don't chuck pints around in the executive lounge. :)

I'm sorry, but it simply isn't true to say that we've grown faster than Europe since Brexit. There is literally no evidence to support that statement. There might be some positives around Brexit (though neither I nor the minister in charge of finding them seem to be able to identify any), but...

Two points really mate, the first is that if you do the sums, she's almost certainly lying about seeing her low-pay, part-time job at McDonalds being impacted by tax. She simply wouldn't have earned enough. Given she's the daughter of a GP and a professor who went on to do a masters degree and...

I expect he'll get called into Starmer's office in due course for being too assertive and upsetting the Daily Mail. Might even be accused of being a bit left of centre, God forbid.

"Deep State"? What a wanker. It's only Johnson's privileged upbringing and his old school contacts at the heart of the state apparatus that have kept in a job (and probably, out of jail) for all of these years. Is the lazy, fat, incompetent, flag shagging, role-playing twat, seriously going...

Fwiw, I got one of the these for the daughter for homework and stuff. 128 Gb SSD, Windows 11, Office etc.. £279 on an Amazon deal at the mo, and bowls along happily enough. I've had a few Acers over the years without any issues. Deal: Acer Swift 1 SF114-34 14 inch Laptop - (Intel Pentium...

Completely with you on this, I always thought the valuation was a bit of smoke and mirrors, though I appreciate others differ. And there's definitely a clause in the lease that says it reverts to the council in the case of an insolvency event. I suppose failing to repay the bond isn't...

I don't think it quite works that way, but I'm wrong to talk about owning the stadium, I meant the 250-year lease. In essence that's the same way as the bond is secured now - in theory if the bond isn't repaid I think the lease is sold to repay it. Wasps/ACL would no longer own it. That's the...

And HSBC, not being run by complete fuckwits (unlike our council) will likely end up owning the stadium because that's all that Wasps can offer as security. There's no way on earth a bank like HSBC goes into this without full security. I fancy they'll employ their own valuers too! In fact...

Only if the following lines are uttered by the guilty party, in this approximate order. I wasn't there. I was there and nothing happened. I was there and something happened, but it was nothing to do with me. I was there and something happened, and it was me but it wasn't my fault. I was...

Couldn't agree less. The Guardian has a liberal bias, but its articles are generally well researched and factual. Its opinion pieces are flagged clearly as such. Unlike almost every other paper mentioned, it isn't beholden to rich owners. If you think the output is miserable, maybe that...

A sad day indeed. Thank you, Boris, for exposing the party of law and order as the completely corrupt sham that it is. And for highlighting the utter hypocrisy of clapping for the NHS whilst simultaneously running it into the ground. Thank you too, for drawing the xenophobic ("I'm not a...

Which basically says that you were happy with the handling of the pandemic because ultimately you didn't think it was serious. It's not an evidence based opinion, anyone who thinks covid is the same as the flu isn't thinking straight. Of course you're happy with your choice, but don't...

Hmm. Too little, too late on the initial lockdown cost thousands of lives. If not tens of thousands. Vaccine roll-out, fair enough, but by any independent measure our initial handling of covid was an appalling public health failure. Thousands died whilst the Government dithered...

Leave it mate, it's brilliant. I'm such a bloody child. 😄
