People who put their kids lives at risk, should have them taken into care. The snap dragon deals with this weekly, unfit mothers having babies taken into care as soon as they’ve given birth , sometimes for the 4th or 5th time. Affordability plays no part in it, if the children are at risk, they’re placed in care. Anyone who puts their kids into a small boat to try and make a dangerous sea crossing is an unfit parent. If they want to stay together as a family, stay in France. One thing for sure, if Boris Johnson took one of his kids fishing in a leaky old boat out into the middle of one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes , you’d be the first one calling for them to be taken off him.

Obviously. If they want to stay together, stay in France

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

Update on the new broom. This time it’s Reeves making a “mistake”. 😂😂😂. -
If you leave a safe country to make an incredibly dangerous sea journey with kids onboard, there’s a case for them to be taken into care. What sort of father leaves France & risks their children’s life like that? Not the type we should welcome into our society that’s for sure.

Only Europe counts to the little Europeans on here. Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, forget them. It’s Russia/ Belarus territory or the ECHR, and they’re the ones pontificating about simplistic arguments 😂😂

He’s saying that we could send them back to France before Nigel “made a rod for his own back” by successfully winning the Brexit referendum. Pointing out that this is rubbish and we actually received more under the Dublin convention. That was the point I was making, but you knew that…..
-
He said we can’t send them back now, because we’ve left the EU and therefore no longer in the Dublin convention. Pointing out the numbers when we were in said convention, doesn’t make him right, however much you’d like him to be. leaving the EU hasn’t made a blind bit of difference, so blaming Nigel for this shambles is laughable.

This squad should be a lot higher in the league, that’s down to Still, not recruitment. Recruitment hasn’t been as bad as some people make out. Charlton, Millwall, Portsmouth, Oxford, Derby, Preston would give their right arm for half of our players, and they’re all above us in the league….
-
#clueless. We took more from other EU countries the last 2 years, then we sent back. 676 Sent back to the EU 1,019 sent to us from The EU. Better than Starmers 17,000 in 1 out policy, I’ll give you that….

They should be locked up because they’ve entered the country illegally. They’ve committed an offence which they should be detained for. It’s not a hard concept to grasp. I knew a bloke who over stayed his US tourist visa in the 80’s. A bird he dumped grassed him up and the INS came and took him away. They put him in a detention centre, they didn’t give him a mobile phone, a few dollars and put him up in the nearest Howard Johnson…..
-
Ridiculous statement, it’s not pre emptive if they’re illegal.

Azaz was really good in this league last season, as was Fellows. Leo looks a decent buy, Mads played 38 times for a premier league club 2 seasons ago & 23 times last season. Add to that Charles & Wood, that’s over half a side coming in this season who had fuck all to do with last seasons nightmare .Add to that a few who have done it before at this level, and it’s bleeding obvious where the issue is and it’s not recruitment. I don’t quite know what people expect when we’re spending the money we’re paying. 4 decent buys listed above and the juries out on Quarshie & Jander, but I reckon with some proper coaching they could be ok at this level. What do you expect, every player we buy to hit the ground running from day one? Me, I expect the manager to do his fucking job and if 4 of the new boys are good enough to walk into the side, that’s a pretty good ratio at this level….
-
Not being ginger would probably help as well. If we keep this lad in charge, half a shot is about right, that’ll be our average efforts on target.
-
Course it’s on him. It’s his job to make them do what they’re asked to do. Some do it with the hair dryer, some do it with their charisma, others with their wisdom & experience. Some a mixture of all 3. Same in any walk of life, you take people with you voluntarily, or you force them, but it’s your fucking job. Manger, managing people to do what they’re fucking told…
-
Why? If they’re entering the country illegally, they’re committing an offence. If they don’t want to be detained, perhaps they should stay in a safe country, like France…
-
I’ve not read anyone who has said that. He’s just making things up 😂
-
He was a busted flush, he should have gone the preseason before he did. The record of his replacements doesn’t change that. The rot started under him and got worse, we were heading down that season if he’d stayed.
-
What’s the difference, he was moaning about white people being over represented in certain roles , she was complaining about ethnics being over represented in certain roles. When Scotland is 92% white, it’s not really surprising, but that’s not the point. The only difference is hes one of the “good guys” and she’s from Reform. They’re either both racist or neither of them are.
-
Maybe a decent manager has given him the best opportunity to shine, because he didn’t look great under Big Ange last season. Spurs a perfect example of how important a manager is, unbelievably we seem to have supporters who don’t think they make much of a difference.

The TFL video calling out unwanted sexual attention on the underground is a classic . Middle class white bloke in a suit, harnesses a minority bird, like that’s the biggest threat to chicks at the moment. As for Sarah, all depends on the context. If she says whats driving her mad is seeing a disproportionate amount of brown/black faces in adverts, that’s no different than that jock giving it his “white” speech to the sweaty parliament. If she said seeing black faces “drives her mad”, because they’re black, that’s different. We’re clearly in Abbott territory if that’s the meaning.
-
Speak for yourself. Personally, I’m a bit disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing which player was going to tell us how they’re working hard in training , are behind the manager, and were determined to put it right next week .
-
And to think some of our Nods were actually blaming the Premier league & the massive gulf between that and the championship, instead of Lego head.
-
I’ve absolutely no doubt the players don’t respect this bloke, and that’s fatal. Forget what they say, performances show they don’t. Managers have to earn respect, regardless of who you are, Manchester City players evidently took the piss out of Bally, and he was a great player and a World Cup winner. The only way this nobody gets respect is by putting on decent sessions, talking sense, and tactically showing he knows what he’s doing. You can’t tell me the players don’t think his substitution yesterday was a car crash, deep down I bet even Jack feels the same. This looks like Nathan Jones level of players buy in, personally I think they aren’t having him. He’s got zero experience to dig himself out of this hole. Time for a change.

I haven’t seen many other teams having so much lately, perhaps it’s Southampton flu.

The problem with getting old is you don’t really bother looking into every little detail, transfer and result anymore. 45 years ago, I’d have known who the manager of Torquay was, who was up and coming in Division 4, and would have an idea of who could step up. Now I’m fucking clueless (and no, I don’t work for SR). It strikes me that we need somebody to change the culture of the club in a steady and emotionless way, over a period of 6 or 7 transfer windows. To me that rules out your Steven Gerrards or anyone else who will jump ship to their spiritual home or a bigger job if they do a great job. We need to hit the sweet spot like we did with WGS, never going to be Man Utd or Leeds manager, & never really going to attract a bigger club (although we were clearly bigger at the time). As I said, I don’t follow the ins and outs of the managerial game anymore, but one name which maybe a possibly is David Wagner. Bit of a journeyman career, with some decent highs in the league we’re actually playing in, as well as some lows which unlike Nathan Jones (after Stoke), he may have learnt from. Not likely to be poached by anyone even if he does turn things around. I don’t know if he wants to get back in, he may love his present role, but my Huddersfield mate sings his praises and says he transformed their club from top to bottom.
