  1. Fucking hell and to think we have to share a city with these people.
  2. My point is that they are linked. Lack of action on immigration over decades is unacceptable and has led to rising anger which has then seen rising levels of violent disorder. I don't support the disorder or want it to happen but it's a fact that had this issue been dealt with before now we wouldn't be seeing scenes like we are seeing on this scale.
  3. Tbf a lot of it is poor guidance that the police are following rather than individual police themselves (although obviously mistakes happen.)
  4. I'm not surprised that people consider there to be a double standard given some of the incredibly harsh sentences for some who did not engage in violent disorder in double quick time compared to the lack of meaningful action on immigration over decades. No wonder people are frustrated which doesn't justify violence but it certainly explains it.
  5. I honestly believe that a large proportion of the so called far right are just working class or largely non political people who are unhappy with the rate of immigration and the problems it has caused in their communities. If this was attempted to be dealt with effectively then it wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is. Successive governments don't want to do that though they would rather lock up the people doing the protesting (along with the idiots doing burning, violence etc).
  6. What this comes down to is that it's absolutely mad firstly that we have to allow random Sudanese men into our countries in the first place if they just fancy showing up. Secondly it's even more insane that whatever the will of the electorate is, the government is unable to prevent it or remove them in a timely manner. Everything else including incitement on social media stems from those two facts.
  7. I agree but tbf not doing those things hasn't really addressed the issue either. You do rather get the impression that if the issue was actively being addressed more effectively then these riots wouldn't really be a thing and certainly not on this scale. It is true to say that decades of the electorate asking successive governments to do something about immigration that is then ignored or the rate accelerated has made the scale of discontent and thus the likelihood of disorder much more likely.
  8. You missed diversity is our strength.
  9. Is it bizarre? I bet it happens all the time.
  10. I don't think anyone is suggesting we buy Jwp to play instead of Jander or Charles. The suggestion is if we sold both of them he would be a reasonable sign NG in that scenario.
  11. The thing is there's atrocities and shit with many world cups including this one. Whether it's slave labour, despotic regimes, sportswashing, blood money, hideous prices etc etc. Once the actual games start it will all switch to that and we can start talking about the games again.
  12. Neither have I. I wouldn't be surprised if he still has some links to him and Jwp hasn't at least asked the question. Not sure how we would afford the wages unless it's a loan.
  13. Raul jiminez released by Fulham. HCDAJFU.
  14. FFS I got excited for a second.
  15. We will have limited funds for strengthening. I'd rather put all our efforts into keeping as many of the players as possible.
  16. I'm of the mind that we need to persevere with him and prioritise other positions. CM if Jander or Charles goes, Striker if Stewart goes, LM if Scienza goes and CB if THB goes.
  17. MK Dons aren't exactly a powerhouse of football though at that level. Leicester will be one of the big boys in that league and should be able to bounce back over a season or two.
  18. Martin will do well in league one with Leicester. They will dominate a lot of games which is when his football is more effective. He may even have a chance of performing will in the Championship if they get a bit of momentum. Longer term it fucks up the club though. The likes of THB and manning for us have taken ages to recover from what they were 'taught' under Martin. I'd never want to be go back to football like that again.
  19. But we know we are going to look to sign Azaz competition this summer. I'd be giving fellows another go myself.
  20. All of the links seem to be quoting the one twitter account who posted about it a couple of days ago.
  21. Where would this guy play? Seems like the last position we need a player with Matsuki and fellows.
  22. Worth remembering as well that Jander was fairly underwhelming for a fair bit of the season. He was excellent towards the end but I don't think he was nailed on first choice until about march.
  23. Wouldn't he be disciplined for breaking rules — and maybe the 'bullying' rather than for spying itself?
  24. Hopefully they are behind the scenes.
  25. I hardly think they would be harsher if they were aware of our intention to make us much of a problem for them as possible. Given we've already had a significant punishment they may be minded to leave it there. Maybe the appointment of Man City's firm will provide enough of a deterrent.
