Half of the England first innings 'out' scores combined come to less thsn the lowest scoring Australian batsman managed.

The US is apparently trying to pressure European countries to release some of the funds from frozen Russian assets to the US, rather than use them to fund projects in Ukraine. There are 3 possible motives; 1) Pressure Ukraine to accept the US 'peace' plan 2) Relieve some of the financial pressure on the Russian aconomy 3) Allow the US to take a cut to compensate it for supporting Ukraine. Chancellor Merz of Germany is working to resist the US proposal, and to convince other European countries to follow his lead.

It is strange that Tice can say that all those accusng Farage have faulty memories, because it was so long ago, but Farage's recollections of the same events are perfectly clear.

SOGgy........ STOP DIGGING !

Robinson's and Hopkins' names generally appear when you use them to describe another poster as supporting them. Very rarely, if at all, are they quoted or supported directly. ( Edit: see the above post).

You are a flag shagging, Hopkins worshipping, Tommy Robinson fan boy. 😀

Duckett so far in the match, 1st ball duck and 2 dropped catches.

A number of countries have announced they will boycott Eurovision because Israel are being allowed to compete. Several others are considering doing the same. ( If enough bail out, maybe the UK would have a chance ).

Cummins, Hazlewood, and Lyon missing from this test. With them it would be a bit different.

How many hundred members are there on here ? It would be a miracle if there weren't any.

Pete Hegseth has reportedly told Mrs Miller that he hates her husband, and wouldn't trust him to babysit.

Trump is more of a low IQ, narcissistic Plutocrat than anything else, though he does seem to suffer with hero-worship for Xi, Putin, etc. The thing to worry about with him is who is behind the scenes pulling his strings. Farage is similarly at heart a Plutocrat, obsessed with his populist image and riding public opinion, but much better suited to vociferous opposition than being required to actually make the important decisions. I think his politics are more self-centred theatre than practical option. Yaxley-Lennon is a rabble rousing thug. I am not sure there are more than a handful on here who support him in any way, shape, or form.

Given the animosity often exhibited between Shia and Sunni, are Muslims themselves Islamophobic ?

Because there is no penalty for slow over rates that teams fear. Nominally 90 per day, but couldn't get close with no weather interruptions, and an extra half hour.

To turn your words back on you - in your opinion. Personally I think that you are wrong in several of your charaterisations, snd I feel that a few posters "play" you. The "Right" in politics is a broad spectrum, as is the "Left", and people may feel one particular issue/ opinion is important to them without espousing the full mindset of the more extreme wings. For instance, I know people who show Islamophobic tendencies yet vote Labour. There is plenty of evidence for Labour voters switching to Reform - are they suddenly "far right" ? Perhaps the spread of opinions on the forum is actually representative of the general population.
