Calm down sweetheart, no need to get all angry and throw insults around. Wether you agree with the slap or not, or wether his mrs would have preferred him to act differently or not, you can’t deny that he was sicking up for his wife in his own way. A friend of mine suffered from Alopecia after he was made redundant and it was a difficult thing for him to go through, his confidence took a right knock and he is quite a thick skinned guy. I would imagine that for a woman it is 10 times worse, particularly if they are high-profile. There were plenty of people Rock could have taken the piss out of without picking on a woman suffering from hair loss, I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for him getting wacked.

This. I have more respect for someone who stands up for their family than someone who takes the piss out of sick women.

No

Na. He went too far with a joke, got slapped. Seems fair to me.

Seemed a bit low though, to pick on a woman suffering from alopecia. Gervais has probably said worse at the Golden Globes but It just stuck me as being a bit too nasty. It couldn’t have been easy for Smith to sit there while the whole place laughed at his wife’s expense on national TV when he has probably had to deal with her tears.

Na bollocks, sometimes people need to be slapped. I absolutely condone it.

Don’t blame Smith, fair play for having the nuts to wack him live on TV in front of millions. Alopecia can’t be a nice thing for a woman to go through.

I disagree, I think sooner or later Russia will have to be confronted. I guess we will have to wait and see. Hopefully something happens internally and Putin is done away with, that’s the only decent way out I can see.

My point is that if sanctions don’t stop Putin it will inevitably have to be war, then it is WW3 regardless of who China side with.

China could join in the sanctions so that they have a much greater effect, yet they choose to stand by Russia. As long as they have allies there is only so much sanctions can achieve.

And China just watch on and all they can say is that sanctions are outrageous. You can’t help think that WW3 is inevitable.

Gave it a good go but just not good enough, nothing to complain about. One of City, Liverpool or Chelsea will win the cup, how interesting.

Putin was very much pro-Brexit, that is just a fact. As for the comparison, it is just nonsense trying to appeal to the swivel-eyed fuck-wits in the Tory party.

They haven’t though have they, they’ve flattened some cities in the East which was supposed to be the Russian friendly parts. Kiev is still getting visits from foreign heads of state. It’s not exactly a great military achievement to blow up some high-raised flats, looks like a bit of a shambles to me. NATO would make mincemeat of the Russian conventional forces from this showing.

That's just sort term, which makes sense. In the long-term investing in renewables is obviously the way forward for a country like ours. That along with insulation.

That’s just bollocks, Ukraine has some Nazis as does Germany or Russia, but they are not in power. Their parliament has only 1% from the far right and Volodymyr Zelenskiy is a Russian-speaking centrist of Jewish origin.

The Greens have been bleating on about dependency on fossil fuels for years, at least one good thing to come out of this war should be more investment in renewables. Trump was right in what he said but I'm pretty sure he was just trying to flog more oil and arms to Europe. I doubt he knew what his pal Putin was about to do or has any concerns over the energy security of Europe. I think we can all understand why the Germans have not spent much on the their military given their history.

The Green Party have been saying we rely too much on foreign oil and gas for decades, I don't see why the orange bell-end should get any credit for stating the obvious.

I agree but MIGs have the capability of actually attacking Russia itself not just the invading forces in Ukraine so are considered offensive. I don’t think NATO want to be in a position where Russia can bomb Polish airfields claiming self defence because then we are in WW3.

I think the difference is NATO is a defensive organisation so supplying ‘defensive’ weapons is OK, it might be semantics but it’s probably a line that is not worth crossing given what is at stake.

Newcastle had a game plan that worked but it’s bollocks to say they ‘wanted it more’. We had them on the rack for much of the first half then just ran out of steam and ideas, and still created more chances. We had twice their possession, more shots, more on target and twice their corners.

I guess this might make Broja more likely to go back to Chelsea, he's probably the sort of player they will need when they are back to being a mid-table side.

That’s the better gauge of wealth though isn’t it?

NATO won’t be caught with its pants down again, they could easily arm Ukraine enough to deter a similar thing happening in the future. The Russians appear to be making hard work of this war as it is.
