Essex running away with things at the moment.

Russia signs a security agreement with North Korea - in response South Korea is to reconsider arms sales to Ukraine. SK produces some of the best weapons systems in the World, and manufactures large quantities of artillery ammunition. In mentioning North Korean military assistance to the Russians, it has to be added that according to some reports something like half of the shells supplied are duds or explode in the barrel of the gun trying to fire them.

Fuller pulls it back but can our bowlers defend 166 on this pitch ?

Our innings is stalling badly.

May 2009..……. This was 5 years after Alan Bates first contacted CW, the journalists waited until they were confident the story 'stood up'.

If only these allegations hadn't already been raised and discussed earlier on the thread. There is a reason that the term 'Military Intelligence' is viewed as a classic example of a contradiction in terms. Given that Gaza was, other than the Korean DMZ, the most heavily surveilled piece of land on Earth, it would have been almost impossible for the IDF monitoring staff not to notice. As was noted in the earlier discussion, many of the troops carrying out the intelligence gathering were female conscripts, and they were overlooked as much due to mysogeny as incompetence by their superiors. Ultimately the IDF simply did not believe that HAMAS was capable of launching an attack on that scale.

Jovan's right though, there aren't any prominent black MPs in either of the main parties, and we can only dream of the day when a 'person of colour' is appointed to either the Government or Oppoition front benches. As for becoming Prime Minister, the stuff of fantasy.

How can any organisation be 'institutionally inept' ?

Some of the people writing in the press these days struggle with long sentences.

Remind me, when are Deutsche Bank folding and precipitating the collapse of the Eurozone ?

With a number of donors pulling their funding the Tories need to raise campaign funds from somewhere.

Entitled middle-class vandals. The incoming Government should bring back the stocks.

Some would say, with a degree of justification, that Churchill was racist. Farage may appeal to more extreme elements, but in our democracy even those people are entitled to a voice.

2 years as Minister responsible for the Post Office at the height of the Horizon scandal.

Stoke is south.

Austerity was ideologically driven. It may have started as the least worst option to deal with a specific situation, but it became an ingrained part of the Tory realpolitik despite the evidence of the damage being done to Public services. Item #1 on each successive Tory budget was 'How far can we squeeze the Public sector ?'

Same headlines every election.

Fuckwit children riding '2-up' on an electric scooter, on the road, not wearing helmets. Darwin award pending.

26th June is when the fixture list is published; not just Pompey Derby, but Pompey Stoke, Pompey Burnley, and Pompey Plymouth.

Standard practice around the World, blame foreigners; Africans, Arabs, the French, Chinese, Mexicans, the Frenvh, Poles, Turks, the French, everybody is somebody's scapegoat.

Would you be as sanguine about it if it was Saints instead of Belgium ?

It's almost as if they want any excuse to disallow a goal.
