Someone on the radio this morning liken his approach to football as similar to Geoffrey Boycott and Test cricket.

I’m not sure that is the case. He does not know whether he will win or lose but probably thinks that he likely to lose. That is different to placing a bet when you know the outcome is certain. If those placing bets on the date of the election using inside information, that is much worse than betting on yourself to lose when the outcome is down to what happens in the vote.

No doubt those who dismiss what is happening here with laughing emojis and accusations of antisemitism will dismiss this too as just another antisemitic article. https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/25/starvation-israel-gaza-war

I agree with Kane that this was a better performance than against Denmark, but that was so appallingly bad that even this depressing performance was better. Not much to get excited about apart from Cole Palmer’s cameo. You have to wonder why he left it so long to bring Gordon on too. The team that finished actually showed some gumption so I am expecting the same starting line up on Sunday as tonight ☹️

7 million people worldwide who no longer draw breath due to Covid might think otherwise if they were still here.

I guess it was folk like you who insisted that villages were not quarantined during the Black Death. We were scared because there was something to be scared of. Have you listened to what the people who worked in the hospitals at the time have said? Have you listened to those who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were seriously ill with the condition? You make out like it wasn’t a big deal. It was. Just because a few idiots, the PM included, thought they were above the rules, it doesn’t mean that the rules weren’t needed at the time.

His arrest for illegal immigration brings me great joy. What else can I say? Maybe I need to start a karma thread?

Only if you are Delldays or Donald Trump. Did you inject disinfectant? You post some absolute dribble but this post takes the biscuit.

Depending on your bias I suppose Whitey or how high you were prepared to see the bodies piled up.

You couldn’t make it up, chief illegal immigration rent-a-gob gets arrested for… https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/tommy-robinson-arrested-canada-immigration-stephen-yaxleylennon-b1166565.html 😂

Some people have already paid for the responses with their lives. As for agreeing, personally I’m waiting for the outcome of the official enquiry which will probably carry a bit more weight than an outburst from Delldays/Batman.

If I were you I would sue the anger management course. Would like to explain to us what had that has to do with a monumental waste of our money? And you wonder why no one takes you seriously? Perhaps, instead of changing your user name, you should just try to engage your brain before posting?

Perhaps the Greens should change their name to Lemons? 😉

Not something to be proud of. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/nigel-farage-claims-donald-trump-has-learned-a-lot-from-studying-his-speeches/ar-BB1oLO5Q?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=050986a04ad94426809af0edbae2a8db&ei=15

We can argue about the decision all day long but surely there was enough there for a VAR referral?

There is an old Turkish proverb doing the rounds at the moment which is very apt. “The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was very clever and convinced the trees that, because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.” Man of the people indeed.

Not looking good!

Shearer agreed with you.

Which means you are stuck with a shit government for 5 years. There is very little black and white in politics but if you have a government with a massive majority you can wave goodbye to grey (compromise). Our current voting system means we get a government that the majority of voters don’t want doing things the voters don’t want done. Democracy is all about government of the people by the people for the people, not for a minority. The LibDems managed to put the brakes on some of the Tories worst policies, but once they were gone we had further years of worse damage. I agree, it hampers governance by the main party, why is that a bad thing if most people didn’t vote for that party? Isn’t that what democracy is meant to be about?

Would more people be encouraged to vote if we had PR? There are a number of pros and cons but the current FPTP system is not democratic and doesn’t reflect the voting wishes of the public.

“I have often thought, Paul, that fishing is like making love to a beautiful woman. First clean and inspect your tackle, carefully pull back your rod cover and remove any dirt or gunge that may have built up whilst not in use. Then extend your rod to its full length and check that there is no kink or any wear, particularly at the base where the grip is usually applied. Make sure that you have a decent float, plenty of bait and that there is plenty of shot in your bag…”

At least we can agree on this.
