Lighthouse

I’ve seen an onboard video of this incident from a passenger, which leads me to think it’s pilot induced. Still must have been freaky for those onboard.

On a VFR flight plan, over the sea, at night and in crap weather, one engine, no weather radar, low altitude... What a cowboy.

I think we will. Personally I'd say if he parents were Spanish and she was involved in a military coup to overthrow the Spanish government, it would. IMO...

I don't think you can really divide up the criteria like that because the two parts of that sentence are critical to each other. On it's own the sentence "Does abandoning Britain to fight in a foreign holy war make her less British?" - Yes. On it's own (i.e. supposing Begum was a white, Christian woman called Sharon Smith) it would make her a traitor. Less British, yes; should she lose her citizenship is a trickier question. It would be hard to make a case for that as she doesn't have any family connection to any other country. The reasons why Begum has chosen this lifestyle can't be ignored. She has joined an Islamic extremist movement and her parents are Bangladeshi Muslims. It would be naive to think there isn't any kind of link between the two. To put it as simply as I can - Religion doesn't determine your 'Britishness' - Her actions based on Her interpretations of Her religion do affect her right to be a British citizen, in this specific scenario. IMO - Not saying everyone has to agree but others (not you, I apologise) think that makes me racist. For the sake of clarity, I don't like Sharon Smith any more than Shamima Begum, in this hypothetical scenario.

I give up. If people seriously can't tell the difference between 'being a Muslim' and 'abandoning Britain to wage murderous Jihad in a foreign country' then they're never going to get my point. I've provided a couple of examples of when I think a Westboro Baptist wouldn't be Japanese or a Catholic wouldn't be British in a similar situation. You can have another if you like: Two Scousers move to Tashkent and have a son, they bring him up as a die hard Everton fan. Aged 15 he hears about two firms of Scousers and Mancs having a gang war on the streets of San Diego. He flies to America and spends the next 4 years doing drive-by shootings on bars in San Diego showing Man Utd games. Personally, I don't really think he's an Uzbek, so now you can call me racist against Scousers if you want.

That's the one Google came up with and it seems about right to me. If you have a different version then fine but I can't be arsed arguing over semantics. I'm not treating her differently because of her ethnic/national background but it is part of a situation specific to her. Do I think Muslims aren't British? No Do I think people who's parents are from foreign countries aren't British? Also No Do I think being born here means you have the right to claim British citizenship for life, regardless of anything? No Does abandoning Britain to fight in a foreign holy war, based on extremely warped interpretations of her foreign parents religion make her less British? Yes To answer your last question - No because murdering a couple of school girls in Britain isn't some foreign crusade. If however Ian Huntley's parents were Irish and he went to America aged 15 to wage a campaign for mass murder against the Protestant heathens, based upon the extremist preachings of Father O'Doyle in County Kerry, I would say he wasn't really British, just like Begum.

We will probably take the lead and throw it away and end up with a point. It’s going to be the most tedious race in history between us and Cardiff.

Okay, I'll help you with this using a quick Google: "Define: Racism - the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. - prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." Arguing about whether or not someone's British citizenship is valid based on their personal circumstances, whilst simultaneously accepting 99% of her religion's right to be British does not make a person racist. To answer your question; No I wouldn't because if she has clearly come from British ancestry it's a different situation. That would make her a traitor and no less of a scumbag and if we could cancel her citizenship on the basis that she has pledged allegiance to another state then I personally would. Begum's parents are foreign, she has clearly chosen to follow grotesque bastardisation of their religion instead of integrating into British society. She joined a death cult based on an extreme interpretation of an ultra conservative Saudi branch of Islam, which willingly supports the mass murder of any British citizen. That to me trumps the mere fact that she happened to be born here.

Pedro just went full Tadič.

I believe the ‘Christian guilt complex’ he refers to could be aimed at people who spout gibberish like, “we can’t really complain about terrorist attacks after what we did in the crusades,” or, “ISIS is our fault really because we invaded Iraq.” I wouldn’t say it’s a Christian thing so much as a bazaar desire some people have to say things are, “our fault.”

I’ve never rated him and was surprised he was so highly thought of when being mediocre in a very defensive Puel team. I also didn’t understand the argument that a fairly standard shirt pull was justification for going full Harlem Globetrotter against Burnley. He got off very lightly compared to Hoedy but now the latter has gone there is nobody to distract fans from Jack’s many limitations.

Here please

I remember it being about 1/4 full last season when they played Man City, apparently because 6th in the League, a cup final and last 8 of the Europa league was such an embarrassment and they were staying away in protest. Can't beat die-hard fans who support their club through thick and thin.

My argument is that he was told when he was appointed that we are trying to reduce the wage bill and will need to sell before we can buy. Gabbi and Cedric were two players attracting interest and RH was told not to make plans for them or, more importantly, let them get injured. I think RH was okay with it, based on the premise that we were trying to bring in replacements, which of course we failed to do. Why would he not give them any game time to at least see what they look like? When he is willing to give a bunch of kids their first start to try them out, why was he so convinced an Italian international and a Euro 2016 winner aren't worth looking at? Not only did he not want to give them a single game to see if they were any good but you're saying he thought we'd be better having absolutely nobody in their place? What about Elyounoussi, does RH rate him? If this is the squad RH wants, why did we (supposedly) try and waste all that money bringing in Maehle, Agustin and the rest, if he doesn't want them? Can we at least agree he doesn't rate Hoedt.

How do you know he had the chance? A manager who made a point of wanting to give everyone a chance, including the likes of Ramsey, Gunn, Johnson, Slattery and Gallagher but decided an Italian international wasn’t worth checking out for a couple of games, or worth having as an option when Ings was injured? I reckon RK knew we had offers for Cédric and Gabbi and told RH not to get too attached to them.

The situation has been skewed massively by our head to head games, where we have rather embarrassingly provided Cardiff with 1/4 of their points for the season. Their form against the 'rest of the league' is 0.76ppg whereas ours is bang on 1. If you extrapolate that over the remaining games, they will finish on 33.4 (call it 34) and us on 36.

Had a flick through the last few years. Udders with -30 last year is the best I can find. Hypothetically, had Camara not scored against Norwich AND the Skates drew with WBA, then Norwich would have stayed up on -34 (and 76 GA ) all other things being equal.

I fully believe Ralph wants a leaner, tighter squad to work with but I doubt it was his plan to be relying on Long for goals in order to survive. By a remarkable coincidence the striker who, "doesn't really suit Ralph's style," just happens to be the one we had a £10m offer for. Who'd have thought. I think given choice Ralph would have signed a striker and sold Austin, rather than Gabbi but I guess we'll never know. I also doubt we said to Ralph, "so about Cedric...?" and he replied, "no, get rid immediately and don't replace him. I want the only RB in my squad to be a mediocre academy player who isn't really ready yet." This has boardroom fingerprints all over it and RH is just putting on a brave face IMO. If we stay up, he'll be straight in RK's office saying, "right, I've done my bit, now go and get me 2 proper f**king strikers."

Er... Which Ralph are we talking about here?

It'd surprise me. Saints and Cardiff are that crap, they MIGHT even be safe already on 32, although in reality I think anything above 35 will be enough. If he can achieve peak Puel, he will probably finish 9th and pundits will applaud another steady top half finish, when in reality they're about 4 points above 16th.

Verbal - there’s just too many strawmen there for me to bother with. Just saying ‘you don’t know anything you’re racist’ over and over doesn’t make you right. I don’t think you have to ‘act British’ I never said you should lose your citizenship if you disagree with my opinion I’ve no idea how not having an issue with people like Farrah being British makes me ‘more racist’z I’m not racist, I don’t have any problem with peoples religions or nationality. Just those who join murderous death cults. You say British law trumps Assad’s law. If I took a kilo of heroin into UAE, I wouldn’t expect 10 years in jail because I’m British. I’d get shot because I committed the crime in UAE. I’m simply trying to find out where people draw the line on citizenship. Would you agree that the woman in the Westboro Baptist church example is Japanese?

Not at all. Do you have an actual answer to my hypothesis? I assume from the tone of your post you think it’s a ridiculous suggestion. So if you also think Begum is obviously a British citizen, where are you drawing the line?

A lorry coming through Calais gets checked in Dover and customs discover half a dozen migrants in the back. One is a heavily pregnant lady and the stress of the journey sends her into labour. A paramedic is called and she gives birth in the back of said lorry, an hour after arriving in the UK. The baby is a British citizen and has the right to live here the rest of its life?

We aren’t great but Fulham are on another level. We’re at least capabale of picking up points here and there, even at Stamford Bridge. Fulham are hopeless at the back, as soon as Babel scored I thought, “yeah, they’ll still be losing by HT.”

1 from 5. No way Fulham are getting out of this, they can’t defend to save their lives.
