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".

Luton Town are only 11 places below us.

From my perspective 49 is young(ish).

We did start out as a church team.

At least 4 games later than it should have been.

I decided that I wanted to watch some competitive sport so watched Tonga v Samoa in the RLWC, literally whilst waiting for paint to dry, and avoided footie streams, the BBC coverage of the PL, and the forum. ( Though I gather the latter has been as flakey as the team this afternoon ). Were we as bad as the scoreline suggests ? Did Theo contribute anything ?

Makes our Political situation look quite sane and benign.

It isn't that Trump is a supporter of Putin, it is that he won't directly oppose him. If you look online for Russian Media Monitor you can find many videos taken from Russian news channels like Rossiya 1, where they discuss their Republican "friends", their loss when Trump failed to beat Biden, and their wish that he stands for and wins the 2024 race. Why do you think they say that ? To help you, here is an example; https://www.newsweek.com/russian-tv-praises-trump-putin-1740156 Then there is this quote from The Donald a week after the invasion “They say, ‘Trump said Putin’s smart.’ I mean, he’s taking over a country for two dollars’ worth of sanctions,” Trump told a crowd at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, according to a recording of the event. “I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country – really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.” ( Also, I would have thought the low tax, low Government borrowing, anti-immigration policies of Truss and her extreme right wing pals would be right up your street ).

Putin's invasion of Ukraine had so many other factors affecting it's timing, some international, others domestic. To put it simp!y, he wasn't ready 2 years ago, probably had something to do with that pandemic thing that seemed to be running around. There was almost certainly an issue with the preparedness of the Russian military - which assumption has been borne out by the realities we have observed during the conflict. By the time he was set to go the Chinese caused a further delay because they didn't want him disrupting the Winter Olympics. Yet another topic that your simplistic World view fails to comprehend. And talking of 'abusive wankers' - pot and kettle springs to mind.

I think it was a survey of BMW and Range Rover drivers.

He has 2 major points in his favour; he isn't Donald Trump, and GM doesn't like him.

Just an observation; why do you never respond when somebody posts a question for you to answer ?

On the day before the referendum vote Farage said that if Remain won 52/48 "the fight will go on". Would he have been a "nutter ignoring the democratic will of the people" ? Would you have been a "whiner" ? ( Certainly the second question gets an affirmative answer ).
