It still is. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2671/long-term-warming-trend-continued-in-2017-nasa-noaa/ I have no idea what point, if any, you're making.

The black box has apparently been watching Aden Flint of Bristol City. I know nothing about him, but FourFourTwo magazine rated him the best defender in the Championship last season.

A neo-Nazi jailed - that rare combo of news that's excellent and hilarious.

Of course he can't. It's nonsense.

Fredericks would be an excellent signing. Not exactly the same type of player, but James Maddison could be a Dele Alli-type success story in the prem.

How many years now is it that you've been predicting the collapse of the Euro/Greece/the EU/Deutsche Bank/climate change science/....etc.,ad nauseum? And yet none of it has ever happened. Ever. You're like an anti-Nostradamus - your predictions are 100% reliably opposite to the outcome.

It'll be interesting, then, to see how the negotiations with Hughes go. He walked away from Fulham when Fayed cut the transfer budget.

Just curious - do you suffer from selective blindness or ADHD? The full article - not the two lines you managed to quote before it all got too much for you - reports that (a) the EU has a mirror case against US government support for Boeing and (b) in the EU's view most of the US government's complaints were struck down.

You'll be needing this. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/716/134/b1a.jpg

Firstly, it's a heck of a drive from SD to PS, along a very boring freeway. When I knew it, the best place to stay in PS was Merv Griffin's (now renamed the Parker) hotel - it's where Robert Downey had his most famous drugs bust, if that helps make your mind up. Fabulous restaurant even now. Steer MILES clear in PS of the hotel 'resorts' out of town, which are usually casinos with row upon deathly row of slot machines pinging away 24/7. The cable car is worth a ride up a vertiginous mountain face - it'll scare the kids, I promise. And the zoo's great, as is the air museum. Best of all though are the relics of old Hollywood - fabulous architecture and history.

Do balls whistle now?

From Ed Conway's column in the Times today - Since the referendum in June 2016, real household disposable income is UP 1.8% on average in the EU, UP 1.3% on average in OECD countries, and DOWN 0.3% in the UK - the worst performance of any developed economy including Greece. Those frogs are starting to boil...

Although...

I wonder if Jokanovic is also in the frame, now that we may narrowly survive (not tempting fate) and Fulham may narrowly miss out.

That reminds me, C - quick PM on the QT to say the last instalment on the Beemer is now overdue. I know it didn't come with a car key, but the dangling wires work every time, right? Oh, and I've fixed today's game- we win...two ogs and a last-minute pen if the daft bu ggers can't sort it out. Make sure your eyes don't pop out when you see the bill. Love, V.

So yet another election for Corbyn to claim that defeat equals victory. Labour should be double-digit MILES ahead in the (opinion and electoral) polls now, yet they still can't edge past the worst Tory regime in living memory. Still, my local council was the one bright spot in London - once a council that swapped overall control regularly, it's now solid, decidedly non-Corbyn (councillors and MP), Labour. The way to go.

Yes, but if you do away with experts the deficit disappears.

You should know when to stop digging.

"Some". As we all know, the Beast from the East somehow landed on Britain alone, leaping clean over Holland, Germany and France, all of which did far better than us for the last quarter, as they have done for the last five quarters. While the EU powers ahead, we're 0.1% off of a recession.

It's not my cup of tea either, but Jesus the bullying on here.

Reading this drivel-filled thread, I have to ask - are there any women at all left on Saintsweb?

Sometimes, even though you're the walking definition of a Berkshire hunt, you accidentally hit the nail on the head. You're right - this government equates immigrants with criminals. Hence the cretinous targeting of the Windrush children - all perfectly legitimate British citizens whose only offence years ago was to fail to apply for a British passport.

After Corbynista indulgences in Jew-hating (including threats to MPs complaining about threats) and as outsourcers of Putin's propaganda machine, we have the spectacle of Corbyn himself falling flat on his face in front of an open goal over Windrush. His befuddled failure to respond to May’s statement that the decision to destroy the registration cards was taken under a Labour government in 2009 allowed the most incompetent PM of recent times off the hook. Fixating on the cards was beyond stupid. The real issue was that the ‘hostile environment’ toward immigrants and their paperwork (TM Theresa May) was ruining lives of British citizens. Corbyn’s rabbit-in-the-headlights act showed he’s incapable of understanding this. As it was, May left her seat in the chamber with a smirk on her face. Fortunately, journalists from the hated MSM, like Amelia Gentleman, have done the hard work of exposing this scandal and keeping the pressure on the government in a way that Corbyn simply can’t do.

A professor of economics and public policy at King's London, and former senior civil servant. Good luck with that amateur brain surgeon.

Yes.
