Less of a Sports Republic, more of a Banana Republic.

Perhaps, but Farage has proved to be very successful at making elections into single issue ballots, then, like all political animals, manipulating the truth to amplify his message. Whether Reform voters are delusional or not, most voters look for easy choices on voting day, and he knows how easily people can be persuaded by slogans, smoke and mirrors, and to accept that UP is DOWN. It's a skill all the most effective operators have, even Donald Trump - what does "Make America Great Again" actually mean in practice ?

Trump putting more social media pressure on Pam Bondi to investigate and prosecute his political opponents.

Their hair is ashamed to be seen with them.

Cars stopping in the advanced cycling zones at traffic lights.

Animal petting zoo ?

You said that ICE had 'picked on' the lady, when the reality is she had been legitimately slated for deportation years ago, having gone through all appropriate channels to apply for permssion to stay., the last failing in 2012, when Obama was President. She has lived in the US illegally since then. It pains me to say it, but in this instance ICE are doing their jobs correctly. All the issues with this case are due to India.

Prepare for disappointment.

Do our strikers look good in training as they are going against our goalkeepers, or do our GKs look good because they are facing Downs, Stewart, et al ?

Give him a free pass on the Scousers match and then see how the next 2 games go; at home to the team at the top of the table, then away to the team at the bottom. If we actually show some gumption, and find a way to win both then I think he should stay, and assess again at the end of November, ( assuming it doesn't all go tits up in October ). Fail to beat Sheff Utd then he must go, but I have no faith in the Board.

Over what ? The Normans were not French in 1066, they are today. Similarly with Aquitaine, which was for a while Norman after Queen Eleanor married the Duke of Normandy and then became an English territory when she married King Henry II, subsequently giving birth to the future King Richard the Lionheart and King John. Burgundy was similarly independant of France at the tme, France only became a form of what it is today after they regained Calais from the English in 1558 and finally finished off English claims to what is now French territory, ( although Churchill did suggest uniting France and the UK in 1940 ).

Once you take away the statutory functions they have to deliver, there is little that councillors can actually influence.

Gubbins saved him for the end, why ?

Bowling plan for the last few overs was wrong. Too wide, giving them room to swing.

Sod this, I can't see us finishing top half on the basis of what we have shown in these first 6 games. Can't score, can't defend, Still is looking well out of his depth. I'm off to watch the Red Roses.

It's what her DiL said. As for her detention, it is obviously well OTT, but ICE seem to he deliberately going out of their way to generate this sort of headline. Probably trying to create a sense of fear in the non-white populace.

Read the whole story, not the headline.

Indeed, "had her suitcase packed".

Is that your truth, or the real thing ?

My wife had written to our county councillor suggesting that rather than painting 'official' St George's flags on roundabouts across the county, they might try fixing the potholes and subsidence along our road.

Lancashire County Council are complaining that the Government needs to give them more money.

Surely you all haven't got such short memories that you have already forgotten Biden's Twitter storms raging about the "HARD RIGHT" commentators and their "FAKE NEWS", their being "HORRIBLE PEOPLE" with "FAILING RATINGS, ALMOST ZERO", and his explicit threats to de-platform comedians who satirised him. I distinctly remember John Stewart and others having to back down and apologise for making jokes in poor taste about Biden and his policies, and the FCC Commissioner's statement about the possible revocation of broadcast licences for outlets euch as FOX News.
