Gloucester Saint

Their US striker that their scouts actually watched play = handful Saints US striker sourced via AI = not trusted to replace the injured Stewart.

Inevitable with Stewart unfortunately- that’s why I said we should look for David Connolly type cameos. Fellows on.

McCarthy bailing them out time after time here. With Baz it would be 4-1 Derby. Centre backs keep on going for same long balls, communication required, and full backs just standing off lazily and allowing Derby to put crosses in from dangerous positions.

Those vows could Winalot of support.

Frustrating that the anti-Semitic rantings of the father were in plain sight online as well, no dark web mining or hacking knowledge required seemingly. The son carried out the attack but in future the offspring of extremists need to be monitored as well. Innocent of anything until proven guilty but there are times when brought up in a toxic environment of hate, the apple can fall close to the tree.

The stress of the job is a factor, not been a copper but did something enforcement related similar a long time ago which also had aspects of physical danger. You need a certain type of humour to cope with seeing murder scenes, people leaping onto third rails, violent demonstrations and sex offences which journalists and publics may not fully understand. I did feel that there was an element of entrapment with the officer who got pissed although stupid and very unpleasant comments not in keeping with the role. But he was off duty and I could empathise there. We all have biases, it’s how/whether you can challenge them in every day life.

Cheers MLG, still have Netflix so that will work then.

@Matthew Le God will there still be FM Mobile versions?

Their rugby teams were even worse.

Also, it shows what a time warp parts of the Met is. 25-30 years ago most offices and sectors had buffoons like that sergeant, who thought he was hilarious, but people actually avoided like the plague, along with alcohol in meetings, out-of-control socials and no doubt sexual harassment, and worse.

My missus is ex-Police and not surprised in the slightest. She worked with a lot of very decent and capable officers of all ranks, some of them household names since they retired (true crime shows) but the racist and/or corrupt element (eg the Bent Coppers real line of duty series and Daniel Morgan case covered by the documentary on ITV about News International thugs like Brooks and Coulson) has always been there especially so in the Met (I remember the training school undercover documentary and the KKK mask) and probably always will be tbh. These people are very clever in their own warped way and they can second guess criminals because they are very close to that line themselves. Due diligence won’t suss them out because it’s not like the loudmouths standing for Reform with their tweets about sinking migrant boats or their black neighbour. They infiltrate quietly for a long time before their true natures appear when their careers are established. The calls for Mark Rowley to resign are wrong-headed, he’s done more to root it out than any of his predecessors but the middle-senior ranks still don’t take it seriously and are often enablers for corrupt, extremist and violent rogues.

Overwhelming majority of Muslims in Rochdale and E Lancs generally are second/third/fourth generation from their grandparents who came over post-war to work in that region’s textile mills. If we’re actually discussing Rochdale’s deprivation then the textile mills losing competitiveness to the far east is rather important, allied to austerity slashing 30% off public services and then a series of shit politicians from the revolting Cyril Smith, to Simon Danczuk, and George Galloway. https://schoolofjournalism.shorthandstories.com/rochdale/ Yes, there have been the revolting grooming gangs whom I would personally castrate if I got the opportunity. And yes, the far right have been active there for more than 20 years. But extremists of all types use the shadow of extreme deprivation and very poor incomes, housing and social inequalities. No surprise Galloway appeared.

Lovely Pennine scenery around it but the asbestos factory closing plus all of the garment mills has made it quite deprived. Also a lot of environmental issues caused by the factory too.

Mark Dennis was also pictured on the away coaches earlier.

Very dogged defensively.

Colonel Sanders has both let himself go and radicalised towards MAGA at the same time.

Not directly Hants related but West Indies hit new low https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c2dn8j29eljo England have had some humiliating defeats over the years, notably to Netherlands at Lord’s in 2009 and again in 2014, but that is even worse for a side who dominated cricket in both formats for nearly two decades.

Everton leading, free header after total failure to stop a cross. KWP on a booking which not ideal trying to contain a revived Grealish. Somerville very dangerous and direct for West Ham, love watching players like him. Fernandes has been poor and caught ball watching defensively. Hammers fans giving it to the owners - ‘Sully you’re a cunt’, ‘Sack the Board’. Better than our happy clappy dinlows did all of last season.

Plus he gets to bat at 5 which adds to his appeal for white ball franchises and England’s T20 squad.

It seems so, although the Swiss have already got a national identity card as fallback https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdr624j16jpo Narrowly passed (!) so will be interesting to watch. I suspect accessing key services plus consumer goods will be more difficult without it even if it isn’t mandatory as such.

What a whining twat https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/articles/cz08e7r597zo Great response by Luke Donald that 1) the US originally asked for it in after Steve Pate’s car crash in 1991 which they benefitted from and 2) it didn’t stop them winning in 1993 either. But then when Trump is your President and most of their golfers support him, a lack of basic grasp of facts, common sense and sore losing is par for the course.

That’s a skewed view of what was a very broad party pre-Brexit. Yes, the original Monday Club, Bruges Group, Conservative Way Forward (although they became more centrist over time) and ERG were clearly delighted, and closely aligned with the emergence of Reform, the One Nation Caucus started with 40-50 MPs and quickly got up to 100 plus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Nation_Conservatives_(caucus),https://wiley.scienceconnect.io/api/oauth/authorize?ui_locales=en&scope=affiliations+alm_identity_ids+merged_users+openid+session_level+settings&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fonlinelibrary.wiley.com%2Faction%2FoidcCallback%3FidpCode%3Dconnect&state=Dps2IO0LOrpSUAYYguc7KjWtugvQmVzeIKLq%2B62WBXwjZNCMb7YE5AyuAM0r2akLhBQlgTmP0ivc3nKJa2pRerTAMbDaB9ZGZdqCdr0pZaTrxD5x19vlmLTAMbDaB9ZGZdqCdr0pZaR6V%2BommeWPxrTAMbDaB9ZGZdqCdr0pZaSLviWMQhMoOlLSOEMl%2FmXJxXCk9OWCvJqcJRbRg%2FE8ckCkx7EE%2B%2FGekAHOZ1a5zEqggxQC1yEOhXqkh6nHeG4NZ8q6pjX%2FwUU%3D&prompt=none&nonce=MyvJt05irO4nfkdpYufrP7Qe%2FqueyBEIIQBnucCUmqU%3D&client_id=wiley Plus also Tory Reform Group https://www.trg.org.uk were sidelined given the Brexit and Nationalist driven culture war focus and the loud voices in the red tops - Sun, Mail, Express, Telegraph. The ERG clearly got the whip hand after Brexit and Boris’s mass expulsions but it’s a stretch to argue that the ‘pinkos’ aren’t a very significant part of the recent Conservative Party. That said, I’ve always got on well with One Nation Tories so they are very welcome within Lib Dem ranks.

Tangentially, the Swiss have a vote on it live and just closing https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-politics/switzerland-votes-on-introducing-electronic-id/90017009

Making Burns putt for par. As he should as it’s a few feet. Excellent 13-15 to Europe. The better continent, fans, civilisation and democracy wins. Rory being interviewed, emotional.

Might be a final half here.
