Ukraine also now occupy the higher ground, as that bank of the river overlooks the Russians.

Since the 'annexation' Kherson counts, at least in the Kremlin's eyes, as sovereign Russian territory. In which case there is a paradox due to the Russian Criminal Code; Supporting the retreat from Kherson means abandoning Russian territory - punishable by imprisonment. Opposing the retreat from Kherson means calling into question the decisions of the Russian military high command - punishable by imprisonment.

Two words sum up England's chances; Harry Maguire.

Why is the bloke in the Verisure advert arming his alarm from the coffee shop ? Surely he should have done that when he left the house.

As long as lenders continue to find creative ways of funding exorbitant mortgages "market forces" will not bring house prices down. Developers will continue to sell over priced housing whilst the lenders are compliant. The house price bubble needs to burst seismically.

The very pro-Brexit head of NEXT says we need more immigration.

There are over a quarter of a million empty houses in the UK, that is premises with no occupancy for over 6 months. Building new houses doesn't solve the problem of mortgage costs unless the developers are willing to cut the retail prices significantly.

So having failed to overthrow the Ukrainian Government, failed to de-Nazify, failed to eliminate the Satanists, Putin is desperately clinging on to his diminishing gains. I suspect that Ukraine won't try to cross the Dnipro in the South West, but will leave the Russians on the East bank freezing and hungry, with their supply lines well in range of Ukrainian long range artillery, whilst the next focus for attack will switch to Zaporizhzia, from where they can drive South to Melitopol or Berdyansk, or even switch West and approach the Dnipro defences from behind.

Having watched so far, might he invoke his 14 day cooling off period and call his move off ?

You should have picked the example of the male journo who was detained for over 14 hours, and whose house was searched at 23:30, whilst he was in a cell, and his wife and child had no idea why the Police were there. The Hertfordshire Police Chief has referred his own force for independent investigation to see if "lessons can be learned". The reality is that the Police have been told by the Home Office to come down hard on such protests.

Hopefully the Ukrainians continue to act smart and avoid simply driving in to occupy the city.

Wish we could manage 4 shots 1 goal.

Will the new manager have to use Ralph's Playbook ?

The Republicans had a Court case thrown out yesterday in Detroit where they were trying to force people using absentee ballots to show up in person ! They are claiming faulty or illegal ballot counting machines are being used in some districts, have resurrected the myth that if you use a sharpie pen your ballot will be rejected, and 2 polling officials at one station were removed after it emerged they had attended the Jan 6th invasion of Congress. Democracy in action.

Seeing as you view me as your 'troll' I feel it is my duty to point out it had been mentioned on at least 2 other threads before you started this one 😉

Gavin Williamson has resigned.

2 snippets: It has been claimed that units of Russian mobiks are being sent to the front line without radios, and as a consequence 2 such units spent 3 days shooting at each other. Antonov have said they are building a new AN225 Mriya to replace the one destroyed at Hostomel.

Motley Crue and Def Leppard playing Lytham Festival next summer. As Withnail says "That will liven the stiffs up a bit".
