Anyway, I would have thought GM might have some sort of reaction to Michel Barnier becoming the new French Prime Minister.

As an aside, FM2024 for PC is at this moment in time FREE on EPIC games.

So the cow will pay not only for the 4G connection, but it will also cover the cost of a fish and chip supper once a week:-)

No. The German immigration minister has suggested that the EU might make use of the Rwanda facilities to deport illegal immigrants arriving in the EU, under the auspices of the United Nations. Daily Telgraph clickbait feeding their own ideological cretins.

I assume they will be replaced with life Peers in the short term, unless the overall number in the HoL is to be reduced, together with an enforced retirement at age 80 across the HoL. Ultimately the whole Upper House to be replaced with an elected chamber, probably on a PR basis, with the Lords Spiritual removed to their Cathedrals and Bishops' palaces and the separation of Church and State finally completed.

The Government have started the process of introducing legislation to remove the remaining 92 hereditary peers from the HoL.

I don't want him gone, ( yet ), but I also don't want to see our back 3 and GK aimlessly passing backwards and sideways between themselves inside our penalty area, inviting pressure until the inevitable miscue presents the ball to an opposition attacker. I would also like to watch the team be more active and mobile around the opponent's area, and their keeper to actually be challenged into making saves. I think the squad, even with it's limitations, is capable of delivering this, but whether RM is the manager to mould them into the sort of team that can do this in the PL is currently open to question. The risk with giving him more games is that if it doesn't change very soon the hole we have dug ourselves into may be too deep to climb out of.

If you ignore the backhanders from property developers. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/all-the-times-robert-jenrick-has-faced-corruption-charges-260587/

Surely there must somewhere be a mention of the immigrant's drug lab that burst into flames ?

35 years ? You have barely started.

The 3 relegated teams will always have the "best" squads in the Championship and guess what, we finished 4th, probably the absolute minimum pre-season target, and then managed to win through a 3 match knockout tournament, whilst having the 11th worst defence in the division. The fabled 'unbeaten run' saw us lose ground by 1 point to Leicester over that period, and gain nothing on Leeds. If you want to look at form, going back to the end of last season we lost 3 of our last 4 league games, so we are currently 6 losses out of 7. As a former professional defender, RM has shown throughout his managerial career that he is incapable of organising the defence of his teams. People get frustrated with Russball because (1) obsession with possession with no end product, (2) inability to defend, (3) pedestrian passing and movement in the final third., (4) persisting with finding starting places for players who are clearly out of their depth. I hope he finds a way turn things round, but feel he is too stubborn and wedded to his 'philosophy'.

We are, at this moment, watching a live YouTube stream of the European Cricket Networks's Austrian T10 tournament from the Vienna Cricket Club. It is a series of tournaments that travels round various European countries; the last few have included Spain, Portugal, Malta, Hungary, and Romania. There is also a set of companion international T10 matches that includes just about every nation on the continent. It is a sort of cricket, but I don't think Geoff Boycott would be impressed.

Isn't access to SM one of the first things the Police try to get when questioning somebody ?

With lunch ! Started out like this...

Completing another bird model made from recycled cargo pallets. Time to start the planes and boats for the grandkids' Christmas presents.

Plenty of time yet for another fraternal spat and the whole thing being called off.

So, since the Labour Government came in the UK'S PMI has improved to a 26 month high. Must be doing something right.

Le Pen is not in power in France, and AfD won't get to run the Thuringian State parliament in eastern Germany, due to proportional representation combined with other parties willing to work together to block Facist Nationalist groups.

Combined with a few bottles of something cheap and alcoholic.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5y8x2nnwx7t "Lucy Connolly, the wife of a Tory councillor, has pleaded guilty to publishing a social media post stirring up racial hatred against asylum seekers Connolly, a 41-year-old childminder from Northampton, called for asylum seekers' hotels to be set on fire and wrote: "If that makes me racist, so be it""

"Traitors" ? Fucking lunatic.

True, he did not start wars, but he also wasn't the peacenik you assert. He negotiated the calamitous peace deal with the Taliban and thereby precipitated the current situation in Afghanistan. Also; https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/01/20/trump-the-anti-war-president-was-always-a-myth/
