I am currently in Philadelphia, have not seen a MAGA a supporter despite frequenting some really good bars.  It may be because I am staying with educated literate people!  I have had multiple unsolicited ‘rants’ from otherwise normal Americans that DT does not represent them or the USA.  On a positive note the Baseball in Philly is great!!

Has anyone phoned Ian Holloway yet. What a Job at Swindle. Mad as a box of frogs, just what we need right now.

Holloway lives near me, occasionally bump into him in the chippy (true) he is definitely mad as a box of frogs, might just be mad enough to sort out our disfunctional squad.

Paul embery posted this up on twitter earlier and I watched it again as I do every time it pops up on social media. Say what you like about him but he was a monumental politician. It makes you want to weep at the state of politics in this country now that we have no one even close to this nowadays. What a great man irrespective of the politics you follow.

Whole heatedly agree.  Disagreed with him on some key issues but a great parliamentarian.  Met him and his wife once in the Buffet on Bristol Temple Meads Station time enough for a beer for me and wife and a tea for Tony, a real gentleman and very engaging.

I've never met an interesting Simon, but the Gary's I know are all decent and good value. Andy's are a mixed bag in my experience, and it's hard to rely on anyone called Kev, although a proper Kevin is a different story. 

 

I have a number of Simon friends and to a man they are interesting, one or two may be simple but still interesting.

Yep. Probably most important of all is they’ve decided to break British law by attempting entry by illegal means. Often there’s little or no attempt to integrate into a mixed community, preferring instead to settle into a ‘ghetto’ of their choosing. There’s little or no attempt to learn the English language - preference is to stick with friends or family that continue to speak the language of their origins. There’s no giving up on certain beliefs in relation to human rights, for example holding women in low regard with no equality or voice or worse still continuing to practice body mutilations which are illegal in the UK.  

To be clear these issues are not about the colour of someone’s skin etc., it’s about how far does a nation go in being tolerant of immigration diluting the fabric of the society that represented the very reasons the immigrants had in wanting to come here. Unless of course they had no particular interest in Britain or its cultural values in the first place.

Sounds like a description of many so called “expats” in Spain.

If people think I am weird, listen to this nutjob presenting her Marxist philosophy. She might be laughing, but the US won't be if she gets anywhere near the levers of power. For those non-Corbynites and Starmerites that aren't aware of their basic tenets, that are currently destroying our society, stop dribbling over your keyboard and read below:r

Oh and keep the insults coming, free of any credible counter argument. You always know when you've won an argument with a lefty as all they have left is insults, as in "Tory scum", from the ginger growler.

You are a very strange person.  I mainly only read posts and respond sparingly, I have yet to read a post from you that makes any sense or reflects any reality I have experienced.  I can recommend a good therapist.

Your point? Police not in riot gear, no missiles being thrown, looks like a peaceful legitimate demonstration as opposed to a bunch of mindless thugs wearing balaclavas intent on violence and destruction of public and private property.

That’s plainly bollocks, as 2015 would have seen a Con/UKIP coalition to get to a majority.

FPTP does skew, but allows for less beige governance - comme ci, comme ça….

Interesting to see that if we’d adopted Proportional Representation in 2011 we’d be looking at Reform on 90 odd seats, Labour on just over 200 and the Liberals about where they are.

Wonder if the clamor for it still exists in Liberal circles?

Yes it does, if we had it in 2011 we would never have had the Tory shitshow of the last 14 years and the rise of the far right.

The all believe that economic growth will give them the head room, plus taxes are going up because they are freezing the tax thresholds.

You make an important point about freezing tax thresholds, estimated to raise  £11 billion pounds, there are other ways that tax can be raised without raising the headline rates.  One would have to be either very naive, ideologically blind or just plain old stupid to believe that any government will not need to raise more income to fix the problems and halt the 14 years of decline.

Seems less likely now. There will be a lot of people loudly shouting that they’re more likely to vote Trump, mostly made up of those who were already going to vote Trump, but the difference will be made by the voters who quietly think on the day that maybe they won’t bother going to go and vote for a convicted felon.

I think he is referring to the fact that in the USA once a president always a president.

Robbie Savage before the game:- 

Robbie Savage gives his Championship play-off final verdict: 🗣️ “I would like to see Leeds back in the Premier League next season.

"The atmosphere at Elland Road is brilliant. Leeds have never had a good record in the play-offs so it will be tough. They’re going into the final having finished third in the league. On the day it is going to be packed and the pressure, nerves, anxiety and expectations are all ramped up.

“There is more expectation on Leeds and I hope they win it, but the brand of football Southampton play could work well on the big Wembley pitch. However, I just think Leeds’ attacking threat will be too much for Southampton but you never know. I’d rather see Leeds in the Premier League than Southampton as a neutral.”

Robbie Savage knows as much about football as i know about Astro physic's, he is a clown

GB News even have ex labour MPs on their line up.

Current shadow ministers and MPs routine host shows on LBC?

 

There has never been a bar on MPs presenting current affairs on TV.  What is in question is that MPs are not allowed to present news or specifically interview politicians about policy, it seems obvious that GB news have broken the code where other platforms have not.  It is really very simple, and no amount of whataboutary will justify GB news actions wrt to serving MPs.  PS. ex MPs don’t count😉

There were a few Free French involved as well. 😉

And Canadians, Americans, Poles, Czechs, Dutch, Indians, Australians ………

Good to get to half time without conceding and hopefully it takes the sting out of WBA domination.  RM to reset and get them back at it.

Rovers played in Bath because City fans burnt down their ground tbf. Now that's proper rivalry,  none of this shouting scummers stuff or singing about fathers guns there. Just burn the fucking thing down 🤣

Eastville was never owned by the Gas, the owners soled it for development now it is IKEA, they played at Twerton for ten years before ground sharing with Bristol RFC at the Mem. Then bought the Mem. When the Rugby went bust.  Rugby now shares with City and get comparable crowds.  
 

As for tonight’s game I can’t see them ending our run, 2-0 Saints.
