BBC fan's player ratings don't have any Liverpool player as high as 4.

Liverpool 67% possession, 1 shot on target ( and that hardly rated as more than a pass to FF from Mane )

Abso-fucking-lutely bloody marvellous. 'Taters said that is 7 seasons in a row that we have won at least 1 game against the previous season's champions.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-55537974 Scottish MP Margaret Ferrier has been arrested by police after she admitted using public transport while infected with Covid-19.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55530721 "Some EU specialist online retailers have said they will no longer deliver to the UK because of tax changes which came into force on 1 January." The companies are angry because they now face higher costs and increased bureaucracy in order to comply with UK tax authorities. However, it is unclear how many have taken the drastic step of refusing all UK orders. At the same time, international shipping companies including Federal Express and TNT have said they are levying additional charges on shipments between the UK and the EU. ......mail and freight company TNT has said it is now imposing a surcharge of £4.31 on all shipments between the UK and the EU. Rivals DHL and UPS have also taken similar measures.

Whilst he isn't playing for us he isn't gaining value either.

Their lips move.

To quote Gene Kranz, ( Ed Harris ), in Apollo 13 ; " Tell me this isn't a Government operation".

Don't forget the 2 Georgia run-offs tomorrow. 2 quotes from Republican campaign officials ahead of a Trump rally in GA later today: “The president’s ability to exceed expectations when it comes to how unhelpful he’ll be remains undefeated,” “No one has any rational reason to believe it will go well. The likelihood of a total, complete, absolute shit show is off the charts. If disaster is avoided, it will be sheer dumb luck.”

Pulse fishing is banned by the EU by Article 31 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 850/98. There is a "get out" clause that allows for "research purposes" that is particularly exploited by the Dutch, in much the same way the some countries divert around bans on commercial whaling.

Somewhere on the forum GM states "I am a moron, but I blame it on my education at King Edwards". If you put each of his posts in that context it makes them easier to understand. After all, he thinks Donald Trump is "playing a blinder".

The voters in the Red Wall constituencies, which voted to leave the EU in the referendum, almost certainly didn't pay any attention to the manifesto, they just wanted to "Get Brexit Done".

From the full Washington Post report; "“Oh this isn’t social media,” Trump retorted. “This is Trump media. It’s not social media. It’s really not. It’s not social media. I don’t care about social media. I couldn’t care less.”"

Attempting to interfere with or subvert an election official carrying out his official duties is a Federal offence, as well as an offence under Georgia State law..

They would need to think up some actual policies, rather than relying on a three word slogan.

Boris says restrictions are likely to get tougher.

Wes, I assume you don't live in an economically depressed rural area. If you are talking about 200 to 300 miles from London, you reach Yorkshire and Lancashire, the rural areas of which are very attractive, but local economics are fragile, and house prices in rural areas are already getting to the point of being beyond reach of young people born here. It also falacious to think that people moving in with spare money will spend it locally, sufficient to boost local businesses. Village shops, garages, etc, run on precarious finances and very narrow margins, and certainly will not provide the products and services somebody living in an urban environment might be used to. There aren't car dealers in every village, estate agents are almost entirely online, and major purchases will be sourced from larger urban centres. I suppose thay might boost the need for delivery drivers with local knowledge for all their online purchases.

I suppose it depends on where the funding comes from.

It is an interesting and positive view, but my response is not 'narrow minded' nor dismissive of the source; the issue of long range teleworking meaning that droves of people will move far afield from the metropolitan population areas, particularly London and environs, will have a detrimental rather than beneficial effect on the areas moved to. This is because the Teleworkers will retain their salary levels, which will be higher than the local economy is capable of supporting, which inevitably drives house price inflation and makes it harder for the local population to get onto the 'ladder'. ( An expanded version of the ripple effect that already exists along commuting corridors ).

Our version of Fox News or Newsmax ?

But he knows where Epstein is hiding !!!

The more the loonies post, the more it undermines their credibility. Outright bans on his closest aides would feed directly into Trump's derangement. I hope that the Dems win the 2 Georgia run-off elections on Jan 5th, especially if the MAGA dickwads stay away from the polls because they are 'rigged'; Trump would have directly undermined his own party's majority.
