Time for Cuba now.

It’s all about quick fixes and it is so easy for snake oil salesmen like Trump and Farage to become popular. Starmer said it would take two terms (10 years) to repair the damage done to the UK by 14 years of austerity, Brexit and Truss. A chunk of the public want to hear that it will change tomorrow and will vote for the people who tell them what they want to hear. Not only did Starmer inherit a poisoned chalice, Trump has gone full Tonto and unleashed chaos on the economic structure of the World along with fragmenting the NATO alliance, sucking up to despots like Putin and Netanyahu. Who would you rather have leading the country right now? A normal, decent, stable human being like Starmer or a nutter like Farage or Lowe? What is just as sad as the rise of far right politics in this country is the lack of fight being shown by the LibDems at the moment. They should be hoovering up the disaffected Labour voters but they have been overtaken by both the far right parties and the Greens. Ed Davey is a very decent man but he doesn’t have the personality and drive for this fight. I see propaganda from Reform and similar parties all the time but rarely anything from the LibDems. They really need to get their act together if we aren’t going to end up like Trump’s America. Starmer looks the part on the international stage and I think he has done as well as can be expected dealing with a madman in the White House. What is clear is that more needs to be done domestically and he needs to be braver, especially over our relationship with the EU. Good to hear more positive comments about closer ties. If anyone thinks that the current situation is poor, you only have to look at the shit show that Reform are making of running local councils to see where we would end up under Farage.

Having just put up council tax by 3.99% the KCC have awarded themselves a pay rise of 3.8%. Hmmm…

Trump now claiming that the BBC used AI and made up the words that the whole world saw him say. Another day, another batshit crazy announcement from the worst President in the history of the US. https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/trump-accuses-bbc-of-using-ai-generated-clips-of-him-259472453508

Yes if it is breaking the broadcasting rules.

GB News our equivalent of Fox News? https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridger-screen-scandal-how-gb-news-gets-away-with-it/ https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/it-cant-be-right-for-reform-to-have-gb-news-as-its-own-tv-channel-5HjdWTw_2/

Wrong yet again, dummy. https://www.london.gov.uk/events/passion-jesus-trafalgar-square-2026

He wants to win, who doesn’t? If Tonda wasn’t here I’d have him as coach in a heartbeat.

Top of the league?

He has done a great job for Coventry this season. Show some class lads. As for being fat? 🤔

Absolutely! Along with Flynn back on form, Stephens being solid and having decent proper CFs.

I don’t agree. He stood on his foot. So unnecessary in that position. Just jockey and don’t give him a reason to go down.

I would have taken 4 points from the last 2 games so all’s good.

Phew, what a cracking game of football! Wasn’t expecting that after the other night. A big 3 points but mostly what a resilient performance. Wow!

To be fair, low block makes more sense than parking the bus, although sitting deep does what it says on the tin. Overload is the one that winds me up. Still, if things didn’t change they would still be wearing boots with massive toe caps and nailed in studs and shin pads made of pieces of cane. 😉
