It is a shame that they don’t do this in real time on a screen behind him. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/politics/fact-check-trump-false-claims-debunked

The current and previous owners have been slagged off for not knowing anything about football. What makes Sunak a better prospect (apart from his wife’s money)? And before you say ‘at least he is a fan’, just look at the opinions of some of the fans on here. Would you let them loose on the club?

I think that his point is that these are areas that, unless you have piles of cash and the pull of a name like Manchester United, you can easily get wrong. Just look at the number of managers who get sacked every season. There are plenty of transfers that don’t work out too. They are there to employ people to do this. Again, you are reliant in making the right choice which is usually dependent on what sized pool you can fish in. Even when we were doing much better in the Prem there criticism of the managers and recruitment. Look where the likes of United, Tottenham and WHU are this season. Nothing is nailed on, and the less money you have to burn, the more limited your chances are of getting to majority of decisions right. We have had a crap season but so have Ipswich and Leicester. Our owners aren’t alone in making the poor choices department

It is a decision that you are not likely to change your mind about though is it. The process takes a long while which gives people plenty of time to think about it. From what I understand, by the time most people reach the point where they start the transgender process, they are just desperate to get it done. It is very easy to judge if you are not in that position, but for those who believe they have been born into the wrong body, perhaps we should listen to them and respect their decision. As for the city’s decision, it just makes matters worse. This judge, despite living as a woman and doing nobody any harm, is expected to go into a Gents toilet. Can you imagine the reaction? I get that women want their safe places, but how are they at risk from a trans woman who no longer has men’s sex organs? Recently there was a story about a lesbian who attacked women in women’s loos. Imagine if you are a women and someone walks into the loo you are in with a beard and clearly looking every inch a man? Has this person been born a woman or is it a man pretending to have been born a women. Are we going to have sec police in toilets checking that everyone as the right “equipment” for that particular loo? We seem to be at the same point as with migrants in small boats. We are lead to believe that they are mostly terrorists and rapists - “young men of fighting age” is the way they are described by those wanting to demonise them. Trans people now are painted mostly as people trying to use that identity to commit sex crimes.There will always be people trying to use situations for their own nefarious reasons. I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of transgender people just want to live their lives in peace and don’t cause anybody else any problems.

I’m assuming that they wouldn’t be looking at dimming the sun over fields of solar panels. I also believe that modern solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to charge up either. Still, if it keeps the hard of thinking amused then it can’t do much harm.

But you were completely ok with Batshit Boris and Looney Liz? With regard to solar power, do you think it makes sense to develop our own sustainable energy resources (and cheaper power) or would you rather rely on the likes of Putin to mess with prices and supplies?

I’ve read elsewhere that AI has valued the club at around £250m. Could well be bs but if it is remotely close it would seem that the original price mentioned is nonsense.

A local company, Chapel Down, claim that their sparkling wine is now better than Champagne because the climate here is now what it used to be there. Why do you find that funny nutty nic? Some evidence for you. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/english-sparkling-wines-challenge-supremacy-champagne-francethanks-climate-change-180974057/

The truth of the situation is that the CoT are going to buy the club and the “hundreds of them” are collectively looking down the back of their sofas as we speak. 😎

It’s good to see, at last, something good to be associated to the Mango Manbaby.

I think that we can safely say that it is a massive cock.

And how many of them were “of fighting age” or women? Not that being a young man has the slightest baring on whether they are acceptable asylum seekers of course.

Indeed. You would think that someone with such a massive intellect would not bother with mere mortals like me. Sadly his intellect isn’t as massive as he would have us believe. He calls me pious yet I have expressed, nor do I have, any religious beliefs. Go look up the definition of pious nic.

It would be, but it hasn’t happened in the 60 years I have been supporting the club so I’m not holding my breath. My guess is another play off or a shaky second place.

I bet they are thankful that they are not refugees.

And yet you speak as if you are still stuck in the last century. 🤔Oh the irony! The figures would suggest that you are wrong. We also take one of the smaller percentages of asylum seekers here. As for your comment about Starmer smashing the gangs. Where were those comments when a succession of Tory ministers presided over record levels of boat landings previously? It is going to take time to sort people trafficking out but at least they have made a start and aren’t messing about with pointless expensive gimmicks like the Rwanda scheme. The previous government shut down legal routes and did precious little about processing the asylum seekers already here. But then you know that. By the way, it would be a lot easier to get cooperation from EU countries if we were still in the EU.

Read this nic. It might help you stop coming across as being totally ignorant. https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/stay-informed/explainers/the-truth-about-asylum/ By the way, at least 14 children drowned last year crossing the Channel, as did a number of women. How does that fit in with your “men of fighting age” narrative?

I really can’t be bothered going through your attempts to justify your bigotry nic but if you listen to anyone with an ounce of intelligence you will know that our problems stem from not having enough immigrants to work in the NHS or in the building sites. If you can’t get a doctors appointment it is not because of the people on small boats (who are a very small % of migrants) it is because we don’t have enough doctors and nurses, no matter what their skin colour or where they come from. Your problem is that you listen to people like Trump and Farage and they feed into your bigoted conspiracy theory brain cells. It is common knowledge that these manipulators play on people like you’s fears of foreigners. You lap it up. Whatever the colour of your skin nic, you can still spout bigoted hatred (Badenoch, Patel, Braverman). Funny that both you and Braverman use patronising language to try and disguise your basic bigotry. Go look at what dictators do down the years. They create something or someone for the proles to hate in order to manipulate them. Trump does it with the Mexicans. Farage does it with the people on small boats. All of our problems are down to them. Conspiracy theories (the ones you are so fond of). You can start with Orwell’s 1984. Report back when you have read it and tell us what you have learned. PS. If you don’t live here, what makes you such an expert on what is happening here? And don’t just respond with your giant intellect crap.

Awesome. You have reached new levels of stupidness nic. Here is a little thought experiment for you. If I am such a racist why don’t I support the posts that you and Lord Carrot Dick make about migrants? If I am such a racist why did I support the BLM matter campaign? Why did I support players taking the knee? Why am I accused of being woke? How many “woke” people do you know who are racists? If you struggle with these questions, perhaps you could ask your Asian wife for help?

Another example of using anti semitism to excuse similar behaviour. Strangely enough there are many prominent Jews who also hold the same views and find the actions of Netanyahu and his administration to be abhorrent. I guess they must be antisemitic too eh? That makes these people antisemites. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2025/04/06/in-tel-aviv-saturday-protests-are-where-anger-against-netanyahu-converges_6739891_4.html# There are no free passes. Oppression is oppression, not matter who the oppressors are.

Incidentally nic, why is it that you get yourself so worked up over prospective migrants? Is it because you have been denied entry to the UK yourself?

Many racists are married to people of a different race or country. Farage is a prime example so you fail on that count. Rather than listen to a fuming gammon (I can imagine the veins on your temple throbbing as you wrote that) I listen to people whose job it is to deal with these people. The fact that you use the phrase “of fighting age” shows that you have been brainwashed by the likes of Farage and Robinson (but then you are totally susceptible to a conspiracy theory). As has been said many many times by people who understand exactly what is going on, the vast majority of people arriving on these shores are found to meet the criteria of asylum. Labour have already published figures of those deported who do not meet the criteria so the system is working, albeit it slowly (due to lack of focus and resources by the previous government. Go look up the definition of racist. It doesn’t just apply to white people.

How many migrants do you know? How many migrants have you interviewed? Or are you just parroting Farage? Of course you are. Once again, you don’t have to stay in the first “safe” country you arrive in and many migrants want to come here and not stay in France because they speak English and not French or because they have relatives here. Why would economic migrants stay in France or go to Germany or another country rather than risk drowning? It isn’t your cock that’s a carrot.

If you have to have it spelt out for you then that explains your posts over the years. Tides turn and eventually oppressors face the consequences of their actions. If you had paid attention in your history classes you wouldn’t have to ask the question.

Has there ever been a POTUS with such a lack of understanding of world (or internal) affairs than Donald Trump? Putin has been stringing him along? No shit, Sherlock! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/26/trump-and-zelenskyy-hold-very-productive-ceasefire-talks-in-rome The trouble is that it is entirely possible that Trump will wake up tomorrow or the next day and tell us that Putin is the good guy and Zelensky is the bad guy again.
