Pure virtue signalling. But you are right, they are a danger but sadly the saturation point was reached years ago. Next step in the plan, lots of clashes between the men of fighting age from the boats vs. edl sorts. Perfect for the government to then introduce limits on numbers in a public gathering, a bit of Marshall law for a while, and some curfews thrown in. The perfect plan for population controlling. It's coming soon. 

You are actually deranged

Add in the civil servants who seem to just ignore their duty to carry our policy if it's something they don't like, the OBR who seem to dictate what can and can't be done more than the actual government and backbenchers who can just derail government agenda and you're not too wrong. A lame duck government totally incapable of doing anything meaningfully transformative and essentially rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic. 

Civil servants are employees and have to do as instructed, as a civil servant but not in Whitehall i would know.

Labour have made some decent changes which are out there for all to see so don`t ask me to list them, just like to Tories who did some good things too.

They are certainly not lame duck.

TBH its good to see MP`S voting to their beliefs and for there constituents for a change and not be ordered by the whip

TBH honest, this country is virtually ungovernable.

I feel sorry for anyone who takes it on but its their choice and the payoffs are good I suppose.

It would be interesting if all parties said they were going to exactly what is needed irrespective of what that looked like and stuck to it but that is impossible as the opposition parties cannot bear to agree with another, not because they believe its wrong but because they cannot bee seen to agree with their opposites.... all a bit sad really

So, there was no need to mention particular preferences in the way they did. A simple line up say we welcome applications from all walks of life, colour creed etc., call it what you will.....what they write was factually wrong and could be seen as anti white. If it was the other way around you libtards would be all over it. But as ever, because of your massive insecurities and internal hatred and need to be loved and liked, you kow tow to this way so that you can win accolades and friends by seeming so open and liberal. It was the wrong way to word it, as it clearly excludes or at the very least makes it clear white applicants will be considered less. Deal with it. See things for what they are, not what you want to see seen as you pious fool. 

Should they welcome anti-vax loons as well?

Everything we can see from Still's first Southampton session

SAINTS have started pre-season with an intense training camp in London, orchestrated by new manager Will Still and his staff.

The players have been taken to a Thames-side resort in Teddington, where they have been put through their paces in the summer heat.

Saints have released a full gallery of pictures and some social media clips of the action, showing Still's first sessions with his new squad.

Here is what we have learned from reviewing them all...

Saints started their social media video of day one of pre-season with a clip of Still introducing two new faces to the rest of the squad.

Kuryu Matsuki, 22, - technically not a new signing but just returning from a loan at Goztepe - and Joshua Quarshie, 20, have joined the team.

Still, rather softly spoken, introduced Matsuki as a "Japanese, left-footed player," and commanded a round of applause for "Josh, from Germany".

Matsuki is set to be assessed during pre-season and could head out on loan again if that is deemed best for his development. Quarshie will stay.

Still will be hoping to introduce another new player soon, as Saints are in negotiations with FC Koln over the transfer of Damion Downs, 20.

"Possession drills, a bit of running, everything... yes?"

That is what Still introduced to his players for the first session to "get back into it," as temperatures exceeded 30 degrees in the London sun.

Cameron Archer and Nathan Wood - at least temporarily - led their respective groups as Saints performed a warm-up run around the 4G pitches.

The Saints squad could be heard being put through their paces by staff with timed runs before finally getting the balls out for a little touch.

Dribbling drills preceded possession drills, including rondos, with Still watching on a one-knee crouched position on the side of the pitch.

Assistant manager Paul Trollope can be heard commanding the group as Still observes, potentially offering some insight into that relationship.

It is Still's turn to speak when introducing a new drill, detailing that the "key thing" is to "react when you lose the ball, get on it and chase".

Still then takes a more active role overseeing the possession and reaction drill, encouraging intensity in his players as they practice. 

Forgotten faces play central role

There is a significant number of players who were deemed surplus to requirements last season who are now potentially back in the fold.

Ben Brereton Diaz, Adam Armstrong and Sam Edozie have all returned from loan and feature centrally in the social posts made by Saints.

There is no guarantee that all three are still at the club by September, but it appears they will be given a fresh chance to stake a claim under Still.

Ryan Fraser and Charlie Taylor, who both remained at Saints last season but were largely sidelined by their managers, also feature heavily in the clips.

Both have significant Championship experience, either promoted with Saints or Burnley in the last few years, and have one year left on their deals.

Shea Charles is also part of the group, although he is not a forgotten face. His loan at Sheffield Wednesday was deliberate preparation for this.

Injured players involved 

Taylor Harwood-Bellis just missed England's successful defence of the Under-21 European Championship with an ankle injury.

He has not been pictured taking part in any arduous training so far but he was present, captured sitting on the sidelines in the searing heat.

There was no boot on his ankle or any obvious signs that he had surgery around six weeks ago, which is a positive, but he is not involved. 

Ankle surgery can keep footballers out for around 12 weeks, but Saints have not given a formal update on the defender's recovery as of yet. 

The former Young Lions captain Harwood-Bellis was the subject of a reported transfer bid from FC Porto last week, although this is not confirmed.

Meanwhile, Gavin Bazunu, who came back to Saints early from his loan at Standard Liege, appears to be fully recovered and involved.

 

Young players who have been called up

Exciting forward Jay Robinson is now a fully fledged senior player but he has been joined by a number of under-21 players in training this week.

The academy side are said to be based nearby, ensuring seamless rotation and assessment of the young players when Still requires.

Dom Ballard and Joachim Kayi Sanda will want to play a role in the first team this campaign and have both been captured with the group.

In addition to those two, striker Baylee Dipepa and midfielders Moses Sesay and Romeo Akachukwu have also been pictured training at the camp.

Young goalkeepers Ollie Wright and Dylan Moody are also getting some senior experience with new goalkeeper coach Ruben Martinez.

Joachim Kayi Sanda made his Premier League debut in May.

Who's not been pictured?

Neither Tyler Dibling nor Mateus Fernandes have been pictured or captured in video on day one of pre-season training under new boss Still.

Fernandes was involved in Portugal's Under-21 European Championship campaign last month and has likely been given extra time off.

It is for that reason that Ronnie Edwards has also not linked up with the group yet, having been with the England squad that won the tournament.

Edwards and Fernandes will likely rejoin Still's side after an extended holiday, but Dibling's omission is on the face of it more interesting.

But was pictured on the first of pre-season testing at Solent University on Thursday, and we understand he is indeed at the camp with the squad.

There is also no sign of Joe Aribo or Jan Bednarek. The former is in the last 12 months of his deal and the latter was on international duty in June. 

Finally, Aaron Ramsdale is also seemingly yet to link up, but he was very recently married and could have been given honeymoon leave.

 

 

Thanks for the update, just highlighted bit is a horrible reminder

Assuming you pay tax and therefore HMRC have your details, and assuming you have a passport, what additional data would a national id card require you to provide?

Just a personal thing yes. Personally I could give a fig about carrying ID, I always have my driving licence plus my irish passport card on me. If I had a uk passport card rather than the actual book id probably carry that too.

Exactly, why people object is beyond me, if you have nothing to hide its not a problem surely?

Injury prone weird cross dresser...

No thanks
