Gloucester Saint

Well done on getting your tickets at a reasonable rate and glad as you’ve been a staunch Hants CCC supporter. The other prices are nuts. Hope unlike last winter that England train, prepare and look like they give a toss (more than the coin) at those prices. Bet people still pay them though.

Labour aren’t great albeit a bit better under Burnham but Badenoch is offering nothing new, reheated 1980s policies albeit she’s got a bit more about her than I thought. They’ll never turn a corner properly until they find a new way post-Thatcher. It’s like Saints fans comparing every manager to Lawrie. Different eras, different solutions. Unlike Farage and Polanski, she doesn’t make turn the channel straight away which is progress of a sort. Farage is simply a fucking grifter who would make the economic issues of the last 10 years look like nothing by comparison. He’s also got zero attention to detail, is as flaky as Harry Redknapp with the same IT skills. Up to his neck in corruption and dodgy overseas funny money which even the skates in the 2000s and early 10s would have turned down for being too dubious. Thankfully tactical voting is flushing him out. Hope these views of a Liberal Democrat voter (who isn’t sold on his own party leader) don’t offend. Oh, and Polanski and the Greens who proposed the Zionism is racism vote are just as bad as Farage. Frankly anyone who votes outside of Lib/Lab/Con needs their heads examined. Reform and Green are abysmal and both racist to boot. Any Saints fan who votes for Rupert…get on the train eastbound and turn left out of the station down Goldsmith Avenue (I know you hate him as well). They’re not a Saints fan.

Fucking daft motion, that’ll see them sink further. Shame, as always been keen on environmental issues where the main parties swing ignore or aren’t consistent with them, and voted Green a few times in local elections, but taking Momentum and Corbyn’s detritus on board will sink them.

🎵 Adam Johnson, he’s one of your own 🎵 Guaranteed to cause outrage on BBC Radio Tees.

Prison governor has quit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8zxl62yzxzxo Probably caused the victim’s loved ones more pain than anything since the original offence.

In a nutshell, we agree on the facts, Islamic terror still more than right/left combined.

The Tesco in Parcfforestfach, Swansea is simply enormous.

Three of them arrested last week did, from Iran in the early 2020s. There’s never a guarantee - we have home grown loons such as David Copeland or the guy charged with Ann Widdecombe - but I’m more comfortable with people who can be verified via due diligence. So no, I don’t support a blanket ban on all Muslim entries into the UK.

Depends on who it is. Undocumented people via the back of trucks and boats - no. Clearly. No-one bar a few nutters in the Greens and Corbyn’s stump wants that. If it’s a cancer scientist or engineer from Gaza carrying on their career, publishing, training our apprentices and PhD students then taking that professional development to help rebuild Gaza and due diligence can be feasibly done by say British Council then case by case for me. Ditto verifiable Afghans who fought alongside allied troops and who have a death sentence over their heads by the Taliban.

Corrected to align with the actual home office and police data.

Correct.

I meant Howe, I might have thought that’s who @Fabrice29 meant.

Spurs written all over it when De Zerbi strops off.

No, they aren’t. They really aren’t. In addition to the cases @badgerx16 posted: https://www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk/raise-the-colours-founder-charged-with-murder/ https://www.facebook.com/LTVBirmingham/videos/police-are-investigating-after-a-man-suffered-a-broken-leg-during-confrontations/2541157639646489/ https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/watch-raise-colours-thug-hits-33955049 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmpejxlm7do https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/news/extreme-right-wing-group-sentenced-to-29-years-for-planning-terrorist-attack-in-west-yorkshire/ I think this is the case Badger cited https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7vddrjjgr0o All UK and all in the last 2 years. The far left one in that time is the accused in the Widecombe case and in Feb 2024 a group of anarchists were arrested for bomb plots albeit they weren’t left/right intention and more anti-capitalist.

@LeG

Some actual figures - there you go Ossie, from 2025 https://www.csis.org/analysis/left-wing-terrorism-and-political-violence-united-states-what-data-tells-us Despite a small rise in far left wing incidents which are high profile because of their scarcity eg Kirk, from 2015-24, far left accounted for 13 killings (still 13 too many) compared to 112 for far right and 82 for Jihadists (see table 1).

Agreed. One murder of this type, whatever the suspect’s mental health, ideology and whatever crap radicalised him online, is one too many. The far right has been far more lethal than the extreme left typically - killed 77 in a mass murder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik - Jo Cox, David Copeland, attempted murder in Stirchley by Raise the Colours. 168 in Oklahoma by the bombing in 1995. In fact, 76% of extremist-related murders 2015-24 in America were committed by far right/white supremacists (Congress, Anti-Defamation League). Islamic extremism is still a much bigger threat than both extreme left and right, although those categories have grown disturbingly, as these latest arrests show https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqx29nke55kno

Bought a bullet proof vest for his Saturday night out in Middlesbrough town centre more like.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34656052 https://www.ft.com/mair?syn-25a6b1a6=1 2-1 that the far right have killed - want to post some more Ossie?

Thanks for sharing, intriguing re Domingo. Shades of McCullum/England red ball post-Ashes, only I can’t see Hants splitting the red/white ball roles! Priest’s defence and shot selection needs to match up - 23 FC average this year and it’s been dropping for a while. Orr to Middx not a surprise. Might Brown go back to Sussex where John Simpson has left for Notts? Maybe slightly more wages than Hants’s one year over 2 given their financial issues?

That variety of Wood hasn’t been very solid in Hampshire or South Wales.

Missing bit of the debate here is how much retrofitting costs for radon extraction in a building of that scale/age https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqwyzy1l10rgo Houses down there automatically have radon extraction built in from new in high radon areas and most older houses retrofitted although at the owner’s cost https://exepose.com/2024/10/11/radon-in-homes-an-underground-nightmare/ In the open air, it is less of a health problem.

Peretz groin injury apparently so about to find out.

Has to be. They haven’t replaced THB, bought plenty in, just pay the installment to Arsenal.

Only if the club are weak dicks and don’t pay Arsenal the appearance money for Ramsdale. Borough in plenty from sales, didn’t replace THB so no excuses for them whatsoever. If we lost to them at SMS in the same division then the push to get rid of SR will be venemous.
