There is also going to be a Platinum version, requiring a $5Million payment.

Now we know why the US Navy has deployed so much hardware to the sea off Venezuela, they are acting as modern day pirates.

We only got "hot" gravel if the rag and bone man's horse pissed on it, and it didn't stay warm for long.

You don't make points. You post babble, then claim it was a trap that proves that you have "outed" some other poster. When people challenge you you put up a laughing emoji and disappear for a while, otherwise ignoring anything that shows you up for the petulant child you are. No wonder people assume you like Trump.

Better get back to your village, they are missng their idiot.

But what if you don't do Social Media ? I don't use X, TikTok, Instagram, or any other platform. Just another reason NOT to visit the "Land of the Free". Is Trump so paranoid and afraid of criticism ?

Anybody who thinks we were in control of the game in the second half is deluded. From 3-0 up at half time to being very lucky to have not drawn, or even lost, with no defensive shape or leadership on the pitch, shows Tonda's lack of experence, and a worrying lack of cojones from the players. Our second half performances under Tonda....... QPR 2:1 Sh Wed 1:0 Charl 0:0 Leics 0:0 Millwall 2:3 Brum 1:1 WBA 0:2 Yes, we had dominated many of the first halves, but we totally switch into passive mode after the break. Last night it was a bloody good thing we had scored 3 in the first 45.

What an excellent line of argument.

3 centre backs yet we concede free headers in the centre of the goal.

Is this where an experienced assistant manager would come in useful ?

But it should not be necessary.

The only European countries he likes, other than Russia, are Hungary and Slovakia. I wonder why.

No idea. Possibly having got into government they have found out that after 14 years of the Tories doing fuck all the issues around migration are more difficult than they previously thought.

Unless they are prescient and can foresee 4 years into the future, a manifesto is a wishlist of "things we might do in year one, or possibly year two".

Most things introduced by Governments, of any hue, have not been in a manifesto.

Kemi backtracking on the comments she made in June saying she would be open to introducing ID cards. ( I'm not saying I support the proposal, but the Tories are being very two-faced, or very forgetful, about this ).

Just to stir the Beatles pot - "Octopuses Garden".

So pretty much the same as the Labour party. My point was that the idea of digital ID cards is not restricted to Labour. I assume if Badenoch was PM and proposing this, as she has suggested she might, you would similarly be opposed to it. So currently these proposals are not, in themselves, "authoritarian", but there is potential for ' creep' in the future. What is to stop a future Tory or Reform Government enacting that 'creep' ?

What authoritarian policies are they introducing that haven't been proposed or supported by other parties ? For instance, on 7th August the Telegraph ran the following story; "The Conservative Party will “very carefully” consider introducing compulsory digital ID cards, the shadow home secretary said. Chris Philp said he believed there was a “very strong case” for introducing the cards to make it easier for people to prove who they are when using taxpayer-funded services." "His comments came after Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, said in June that she would be open to the introduction of the cards to clamp down on illegal migration." ,.............. They are not aboloshing jury trials, as has been claimed by a few rabid commentators, and the changes, ( which I don't agree with btw ), will not affect the majority Crown Court cases; this from the BBC - "There are around 1.3 million prosecutions in England and Wales every year, and 10% of those cases go before a Crown Court. Of those, three out of 10 result in trials. The reforms appear to mean that more than two out of 10 will still go before a jury. "

So you missed the whole New Wave of British Metal in the 80s ? I "discovered" Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Status Quo, and many others through art lessons at KES, as the art teacher allowed us to bring in records to play during classes. Later, once in the lower 6th, we persuaded the Head to allow us to put a jukebox in the 6th form common room, which could be played at lunch time. That was stocked with punk and new wave singles.
