1) Yes it might have been 'unstable' for a while, but it had been comparatively quiet, and for these people this time of year is an important religious reinforcement of family ties. 2) If you were in a city where civil war had just broken out, would you immediately risk driving through the gun fire, or wait for the assistance you thought you would be offered ? 3) It's ALWAYS time for Tory bashing.

"Pull into Paradise".

He went before the fighting broke out. There is no need to over-egg the pudding by making shit up.

I think that is a problem at present.

Deutsche Bank are so close to going under that they have just shelled out £410m to buy a brokerage firm in London.

Just when you think things cannot get worse - Blackpool are relegated to League1, I lose a "home" game next season. If Wigan also go down I lose 2.

Probably, along the same sort of "safe" humanitarian corridors they created out of Mariupol.

Putin has signed a law that decrees that Ukrainians in the Russian occupied areas will be deported if they refuse to take Russian citizenship. A clear case of ethnic cleansing.

Winning the possession stats.

I am actually wearing a Friend's Provident era sweatshirt at the moment, and will be wearing it when I go to Blackpool this afternoon.

The absolute definition of a "must win" home match, against a team still involved in the relegation mix, and we manage 2 attempts on target. 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was Selles' plan ? Bore them into submission ?

Chelsea

Not getting to 30 points has been obvious for a while.

Where does the 3% of doubt come from ?

I just want Everton and Leicester to come down with us.

Why was it so predictable that we would put in this sort of performance following on from the Arsenal match ?

Many of them are expecting to be moving on in a couple of months, so why should they bother ?

Still trotting out the line that "when we took over there was no money left". That memo was a joke, a poor one admittedly, but not to be taken literally. If there was no money left in the kitty, how did the Government and country function on the first day, let alone the first week or month of the incoming Tory administration ? And to still be using that as an excuse after so many years of their own mis-management is a patheticly weak attempt at distraction. As for the Police numbers, official Government figures show that as of December 2022 there were 501 more Officers than in 2011, so the 20 thousand have merely returned us to the levels before they took over, and in fact, during the period that they have been in power the UK population has increased by over 6%, so having restored the Police numbers to 2012 levels, proportionately as compared to the population as a whole, the Force is still smaller.

Andrew Bridgen, the MP who said that the COVID vaccine roll-out was the biggest crime committed against humanity since the Holocaust, has been kicked out of the Conservative Party.

By Law, being Jewish is a "protected characteristic" under equalities and discrimination legislation.

As with many politicians, she fails to hold a consistent view - her letter to the Guardian does not tally with that quote. Perhaps she should take longer to consider her replies before firing off indignant responses.
