There must be an element of being around and playing with established good players also. There’s surely no coincidence that many sons of professional footballers are fairly decent (even semi pro level is above the average) - I note Paul Skate Merson’s son scored a good technical goal the other week. There’s long hours of repetition, but if you’re playing with those who are already skilled (and therefore highly paced), this is bound to accelerate your ability.

Farage can’t be outshone. He is an egotist after all. Clearly a hit job to show Lowe who’s boss — though I think Farage and Zia Yusuf may find the members would rather back who they see as the more impressive (in Reform terms) MP.

Excellent collection of Jeans there by the pitch invaders

Other than Ramsdale, I don't consider any of these players to be good.

Rory Stewart having a hissy-fit over the idea Rishi Sunak is British (a civic political creation) but not english (an ethnicity). If any other race were airbrushed out in this way his liberal friends would be having a hissy fit.

It’s “Youtube” not “you tube.” You’re not talking to a tube.

B-A-D. Gets you a full house, all 11 players.

It depends. I opposed Reform due to their gift list “contract” to the people, not to mention their leadership! However, i’m unsure how it would be the final nail in the coffin. The country is crying out for lower taxation, which they would at least try to achieve, along with other issues. My main gripe with them is their un conservative (in my eyes) outlook - that of full economic liberalism and ultra-individualism; essentially American Conservatism riding the high of Trump. This last bit is based on a recent Rupert Lowe interview where he described himself as a libertarian.

Tired of the new Faragist misinformation take; this time on local elections being taken away for certain anti-democratic reasons, as opposed to the facts: why would you have an election for a position which won’t exist in less than a year? I don’t mind the opinion, more the dancing around basic facts to fit one’s own Farage narrative. “Conservatives and Lib Dems criticise delays, which are in areas under reorganisation to introduce elected mayors” But yet the Tories are quiet!!! Uniparty merging against democracy. They must all be running scared. It’s bollox. Anti-intellectual rubbish.

Canada, as an example, were already putting money towards improving their border. By telling Trump they’re getting a “border czar” they receive an extra 30 days tariff free. I may be oversimplifying, I may not.

Is this from your notes app, chatgpt, or memory. If it’s the latter i’m impressed.

Trump says he’s thinking about tariffs on Britain along with the definite tariffs on the EU. It will be the biggest stab in the back to British MAGA. Maybe they won’t like him soon.

Canada aren’t being hypocritical as the move can’t be helped. The U.S. are first movers in the trade war. Anything after that is, as Pierre Poilievre suggests, common sense. For Trump it also doesn’t protect his nation. Protectionism has never and will never work - even in the selected cases by Trump (McKinley being the major case). Trump conveniently leaves off the recession which followed. Same with Protectionism’s failures in the 1930s. It didn’t work for Trump last time either, it cost business more than it brought in and increased prices for consumers in key sectors.

Hear, hear.

Nice to see the Tommy Robinson march defaced the Union flag with some half and half Britain-Israel monstrosity. If only these “patriots” had the time to look into the history of Israel and its acts against British people, of which they’re still proud - bombing our own up. Can’t seem to upload the image

Investors selling their shares in AI due to fears the market is shifting away from tech (led also by fears of higher interest rates down the line) does not show further investment.

Remove the word “recent.” Surely we’ve never been this bad, even in lower divisions. Relatively, 6 points is not very good.

Why does every anti immigrant rally have to include an Israeli flag and why is every refugee love fest led by deluded communists with their Soviet flags.

zzzzzz. Your obsession with Le Tissier and farmers is hilarious- ly boring

He has none anyways for going after kids. Brings up an old debate, but one which should be reconsidered. Anderson mentions it below, but of course the typical response: a cry and moan about debate. It would be a terrible time when, after being elected, an MPs voice will not be heard because their policy view doesn’t sit with someone’s narrow PC mind.

I think it’s quite clear he did a gesture which was adopted by Fascists in the 20th century. The Roman Salute means power. But that, as you say, doesn’t mean he did a “Nazi” variation of the salute - meaning to support or advocate National Socialism. He hardly seig heiled. People linking him to H*tler are going a bit far IMO.

I believe he is the perfect radio-man. Middle class enough to get his point across in a well-educated and respectable manner, which people take seriously due to his being middle-class. Yet perfect also in his deluded dogma of opinion - the TalkSport of political discussion.

It wasn’t law or morals, it was Bezos and Musk! Says James O’annoyance

F*cking hell, it’s like a slot machine.
