So the White House are now suggesting that we all watch GB News rather than the BBC. https://www.indy100.com/politics/karoline-leavitt-bbc-gb-news-tim-davie-trump#

Absolutely zero respect for any judicial system in any country (especially his own). Apparently the laws and rules don’t apply to him and his cronies. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trump-asks-israels-president-to-pardon-netanyahu-from-corruption-charges-e2cfcee3

I’m surprised that nic didn’t find this funny. A guy collapsed in the Oval Office and whilst others rushed to help him, Trump just wanted to carry on with his briefing and seemed displeased that he was no longer the centre of attention. Must have been worth a laughing emoji surely nic?

So Farage is threatening to boycott the BBC. Let us hope that he actually keeps his word this time because he didn’t since his so called boycott last year. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/29/nigel-farage-to-boycott-bbc-over-biased-question-time-audience

I agree about Benali. He seemed to be constantly scoring own goals, making gaffes that led to goals or getting sent off. He did actually improve and became a born again footballer towards the latter end of his career though. Probably my biggest disappointment though was losing Shearer and getting Dixon and Speedie in his place. I seem to remember them being decent at Chelsea but they were utter pants for us.

Handing out sweets? Sick bastard. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpv13rxpgk9o.amp

Green energy will be cheaper. A tip. When you hear Trump calling something a hoax or a con, you immediately know that it isn’t.

I seem to remember many on here crying out to play a back 3 when we couldn’t buy a win. The problem isn’t systems per se, it is the quality of the players that you have playing the systems and how well the team adapts to them.

I’m not sure what the problem with ID cards is. They have them in other democratic countries and we have passports, driving licences, NI numbers, NHS numbers. It would make perfect sense to collate all of our information in one place and I’m sure that will happen at some time in the future. Is having an ID card any worse than having our identity checked where ever we go by biometrics, let alone being filmed on CCTV or door bell cams?

He can’t help himself. My children would say things like that when they were 10 years old.

And as a gold plated narcissist you would make a perfect traitor. 😘

That’s the one!

We need a strong signing in the middle, not out on the far right.

Yes, they doctored a speech and they should not have done. It didn’t alter the intention of what he was saying though and that, surely, should be the bigger issue here? Yet again he manages to turn a negative into a positive for himself and some people are happy to let him get away with it.

You really are a dope nic. I don’t think that anyone is saying that the BBC’s Panorama programme made a mistake. I also don’t think that anyone other than you and GM listened to Trump’s speech at the time and didn’t know that he was inciting an insurrection. I don’t know how you manage it, but every day you managed to add 2 + 2 and come up with the answer = wibble 🤪

https://bylinetimes.com/2025/09/09/bbc-accused-of-pro-reform-bias-as-lib-dems-launch-campaign-to-end-wall-to-wall-farage-coverage/ What’s the matter nic? Upset because the people you support aren’t getting enough positive coverage? 😂

Davenport and Oliver Bernard were absolutely useless. Our first £1m player was also a total waste of money but his name escapes me for now.

Farage has just accused the BBC of bias. That would be the disproportionate platform they gave him during his Brexit campaign and the same exposure they are giving his current grift, the Reform Party, then.

Worth reading (if you aren’t GM). https://observer.co.uk/opinion-and-ideas/leaders/article/the-observer-view-political-interference-at-the-bbc

So much for the IDF carefully choosing their targets, but then it is has always been obvious that they deliberately target civilians. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/10/israeli-soldiers-breaking-ranks-gaza-civilians-human-shields

Here’s something for you nic. Michael Heseltine (google him) who knows more about these things than random off-shore keyboard warriors, likens to Farage and Reform to Oswald Mosely’s fascists in the 1930’s. You will probably need to google Mosely too. Another question for you. What do we call people who vote for and support fascists? https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lord-heseltine-my-final-contribution-may-be-to-try-to-stop-nigel-farage-399679/#

So here’s the question. Is it more likely that we have picked up 6 points because we brought back Baz and Stephens or is it more likely we did so because we finally managed to put away some of our chances? If our finishing had been better in the previous games Still would still be in a job. Bottom line.

nic, Sir Ralph and Turkish. What an unholy trinity. I’ll be honest nic, I usually just skim read your posts as I lose the will to live half way through them. You are clearly so wrapped up in your own prejudices that you are stuck in a Faragw mentality and are probably beyond reasoning with, but I will give it another try. As much as you don’t like answering questions, let us try this one for size. If nothing else it might help you finally understand where I am coming from. It is a role play, I hope you are okay with that? Imagine that you are a young woman walking home at night down a dimly lit street. You are aware of a man walking 10 paces behind you. What goes through your mind? a) I hope that man isn’t a Muslim or a foreign national or b) I hope that man doesn’t sexually assault me? My answer would be b. Why? Because it really doesn’t matter where the man comes from or what he believes in if his intention is to assault the woman. That is the issue and that is why the law in this country does not differentiate between sexual crimes carried out by white Anglo Saxons and foreign nationals or Muslims. As for the Nazi thing, I was yanking your chain. But if it looks like a duck, quack likes a duck and waddles like a duck it is probably a duck. I have no idea just how far right you are but you clearly parrot Farage’s doctrine so it is safe to assume you are far from being close to the centre right. As for the veteran, bless him. Anyone saying that it wasn’t worth winning WW2 is deluded. Of course it was. Would he have wanted the holocaust to carry on here? Nazi flags outside Whitehall? You also conveniently ignore the many veterans who call out Farage and his supporters and say that they are what they fought against. As much as you might like to believe otherwise, we are better off without extenuate running our country. Just look at the way democracy is being trampled on in the US today. Want that here? Because that is what you will get if Reform get in. As for vets, sadly I expect you will find some Vietnam War vets wearing MAGA caps too.

You really are quite thick aren’t you. Not once have I justified sexual attacks on women, be they buy anybody. YOU are the one making a distinction between certain groups of sexual attackers. It is quite possible to have a biased against certain racial types by being married to one. Your mate Farage, despite his clear dislike of Europeans seem to chose those to share his bed with. What is all this crap about “letting” people in? You make it sound like we have a choice in the matter. They have been “let” in for years and we have been trying to deal with the problem does years. Where is the sign at Dover saying “Rapists Welcome”? The vast majority of asylum seekers are not criminals. Do you understand that? Yes, some do commit crimes, just as people who are white commit crimes. Those are dealt with. You seem to have a Farage like obsession with painting all of them as a threat. My point to you, time and time again, is that, in any society, a small percentage of the population will be a threat to the rest. When you focus on just one element, then that, my dear deluded friend, is pure racism. We have a legal obligation to house people seeking asylum in this country. It may upset you but it is the humane thing to do. The Tories didn’t bother about trying to deal meaningfully with the claims so let the numbers mount up…in hotels. Have you seen the conditions in which these people live? If you think they were like normal paying guests in normal hotels you are even more deluded than I thought. Forget “hotels”, they were given rooms. Where else were they supposed to go? The Government are trying to open up an army camp in Crowborough but the locals are up in arms. Where would you put them? Would you have them living rough on the streets? The way you write about these people, just like Farage, you make them sound like they are all a threat to us. This is exactly what happened back in the 30’s. Blame immigrants for everything that is wrong in your life. I have no idea if you actually are a “Nazi” but you sure as hell swallow and regurgitate the same crap. It is ironic, on Remembrance Sunday, that we are having this conversation. On the day we remember all those who lost their lives fighting this kind of tyranny against freedom from oppression, people like you are still making a case for it. Proud of yourself?

Nice try, completely ignoring the fact that certain people ignore sexual crimes carried out by white people and only focus on those carried out by certain racial types or foreign nationals as you put it. I guess you get your info from Farage? https://news.sky.com/story/fact-checking-farage-are-foreigners-more-likely-than-britons-to-commit-sexual-offences-13407029
