Your savings are one and a half times our total bill.

I think what that does show is a "shoot first ask questions later, if they survive" attitude.

Expect the cost to go up again because, as a consequence of this announcement, more people will be unable to pay due to the increase. I'm sure there is logic in there somewhere.

Rishi Sunak stood up in Parliament to make a statement about people arriving in small boats and being retured to Albania. He quoted a figure of 5000 being returned this year, implying that is the number who had crossed by boat during 2023. A Permanent Secretary giving evidence to a Commons Committee, told the committee members that whilst we had, indeed, returned 5000 people to Albania, the vast majority were not from small boat crossings this year; they were a mixture of boat crossings in the previous 3 years, offenders being deported after serving their sentence, or people who had overstayed their visas. The actual number of Albanians returned after boat crossings in 2023 is..............531.

How do they get there, walk through Israel ?

Leicester lost nearly as many first team players.

Where do those in the West Bank go ?

News items referring to actors by referencing one item in their list of appearances; Generally their career is reduced to "The. Harry Potter actor" or "The Game of Thrones star", particularly the latter when it is somebody who was seen in one episode.

The Israeli ambassador to the UK says that Israel will not accept any form of 2 state solution. Presumably once all the Palestinians are dead the issue goes away.

If watching the tedious training ground walking football wasn't bad enough, there's Dean Hammond telling us on commentary how well Saints are playing, and any minute we are going to switch to flowing attacking football as the other team tires.

Oh, I will support him and the team, no question, but it verges on masochism.

5/10, style over substance. 1) His style is bland, slow, and predictable. 2) We are unable to break down sides that sit back and let us fanny about passing side to side. 3) We continually tempt fate with playing it across and around our own area, ( Imagine Macca playing in goal with this style of play ). 4) We are unable to kill off games, seemingly happy to score 1 goal per game. I dread to think how his managerial style and ability would measure up in the EPL.

I would give up 20% of our posession passing bacwards and sideways if we got more attacking commitment in return. There is no point in having three quarters of the posession if you only create the same number of chances as the opposition.

This is sooooooo predictable.
