The US National Parks Service is removing free entry on 2 national holidays, MLK day and the day that celebrates the end of slavery, but they are adding free entry on "Flag Day", which purely by coincidence is the birthday of a certain Donald J Trump.

He cannot defend. Pity it's his job.

Players off the pitch at Ewood Park due to a waterlogged pitch. I can confirm it has been absoluteky pissing down up here.

People getting trolled on SM as posts claim that newly elected Mayor Mamdani in New York is going to mandate the use of arabic numerals in city schools.

Ben Stokes contemplates another England defeat

The UK did more than it's fair share of colonisation itself between 1600 and 1947.

England currently 123 for 5. 🙂

Umpire gives Brook out caught behind when he clearly missed it by inches, Brook reviews successfully. Very next ball Umpire gives him not out to a ball he has clearly hit, Australia successfully review. 2 very poor decisions.

Too many stupid, loose, shots to balls that can safely be left. Other than Root, there doesn't seem to be a single player in the England team capable of batting successive maiden overs if the situation requires it. Bazball has frazzled their brains.

This, according to John Swinney https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn814e1ev47o

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.

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.

What chance Aus win by an innings ?

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 ).
