The press always exaggerate and over-sensationalise everything, they just want to flog newspapers or get you to read their website, they don’t give a shite about pushing through any policies. Other people exaggerate the problem because they want something done about it and know if they don’t no one will listen and nothing will happen.

That's just bollocks.

Just like many on your side use "but our country is not as racist as others" as an excuse to ignore the problems we do have.

I'm not.

Thing is people will moan whoever you tax. Personally I don't think it goes far enough, I would do the NI thing and probably tax high-earners more (or the already wealth somehow) and bring the cap down, 86K is still a bit of a bombshell for people with average houses.

“Police arrested 11 people for sending racist social media messages after the final, with almost four times more of the criminal comments being posted by people overseas than in the UK. However, Twitter said: "While many have quite rightly highlighted the global nature of the conversation, it is also important to acknowledge the UK was - by far - the largest country of origin for the abusive tweets we removed." Anyway, it doesn’t really matter where the tweets came from if you are on the receiving end.

What, this one? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58159878

The thing is, much the baby boomer generation have smoked, drunk and gambled as much as anyone and are still sat on millions in property.

So we can discuss the Brexit make-believe unicorns until the cows come home but are not allowed to discuss the actual effects.

It’s just an example of a shit idea, like many on this thread. The problem is when you get marketing people involved who generally are hyper-sensitive about their brand possibly offending anyone. I have worked in the industry for years and see it all the time. At the end of the Day if a rugby team want to change their name it’s up to them, it’s their job to worry about how they are perceived, it’s nothing to really give a shit about. In my opinion it is silly but it has to be a better thing that racial issues are being thought about than just ignored.

What the fans making monkey gestures you mean? 😂😂😂

Love it, Stirling in front of the racist cunts.

...and a sign that you are not shite as well.

But everyone is a hypocrite to some extent, by your rationale nobody would ever be able to discuss ways to combat climate change because they would be a 'preacher'. Also, yes scientists are sometimes wrong but ignoring science because some might be wrong is just retarded. You might as well smoke 50 fags a day because they might be wrong about that causing cancer. Don't bother getting vaccinated either because they might be wrong too.

Just trying to help as you're clearly struggling again. People obviously don't always go from having no symptoms at all to suddenly being on a ventilator, there is plenty of opportunity from them to talk when they are clearly very infected with Covid and know they are facing possible death.

I expect the feeling of regret is running pretty high before they reach the stage of needing to go to hospital, let alone being put on a ventilator. Why don't you just stick to your thread poking fun at people trying to stop racism - that's about your level.

Obvious foul for me, Dean’s a cheat.

To be fair there has been a fair few atrocities whilst we have been in Afghanistan and there will be more wether we stayed or not.

It’s mental that with the right contacts you can get a load of pets out but there are people that the British government have just left to be killed.

It’s easy to say that if you live in a rich country with a temperate climate. You might think differently if you lived a subsistence lifestyle and your food relied on specific weather conditions or if you lived in a developing country and more severe weather doesn’t just mean your carpet might get ruined but could mean you face a real risk of death.

About as much as poppies on Remembrance Day does, yet for some weird reason you don’t seem to question that.

Yes get the fuck in

Afghanistan was always going to have a messy ending, I don’t think there was little option but to go in but when you look at the history there was no way it could be turned into a Western style democracy without wasting a ridiculous amount of lives, money and resources. We fucked up the withdrawal but it would always have ended in something similar to what we are seeing, under Trump it would probably be worse. The biggest mistake we made with Afghanistan was starting a pointless war in Iraq, we left it to rot under a corrupt government which is why there was little resistance to the Taliban, for many there was nothing worth fighting and dying for.

Plus, surely it’s a good idea to give some minutes to whoever will take his place if he gets injured.

Strong line-up, I would have rested JWP for Saturday tho. COYR
