Renton

Tories being cunts again. Got this through, despite the branding its from the Tories (who have spent a fortune on leaflet drops these local elections). So like Rochdale, a prospective Muslim Labour councillor has been suspended for saying something mildly offensive about Israel on social media. They then send this out with the non sequitur that that means you shouldn't vote Labour because that would mean you support this individual? Eh, you what? But they don't give his name so I had to Google it. He's not even a candidate in our ward. Honestly don't know how this is legal.

I was there recently too. Clearly felled by a professional imo given the clean lines. It's a shame but still a lovely walk. This is from nearby. "Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, have been charged with causing criminal damage after the tree was cut down last September" . From that article. This sounds to me like it's an additional act of vandalism since the tree was felled?

Bollocks. This is one of you lot back from a fortnight in Benidorm.

I doubt they go across in busloads. Howay, you irsh lads aren't so insular you still stare at brown people are you? I agree with you about it needing a European eide solution, let's see what Labour come up with I guess. But the optics of people arriving in small boats on Kent beaches is clearly a problem for government, whether they apply for asylum or simply disappear into the black economy. The latter has got to be a huge security risk too.

I googled him to remind if he really does look like a medieval peasant. I think he looks more like a bowl of soup personally.

Baby Reindeer is top notch imo.

Puzzled me a bit too. Do you need ID to cross on a ferry? As for it working, I'd say the opposite. The only metric of it working is people not coming across in small boats in the first place, but so far we have record numbers.

I see the Rwandan scheme is forcing people over the border with Ireland who don't have the capacity for them or people are simply going off grid. Genius. Now we will have tens of thousands of asylum seekers without any knowledge of where they are.

The results from that equation equals one fat bastard.

Listened to the Newsagents Kinnock podcast and think the answer to the question premise is yes, he's the best PM we never had, a political giant compared to the pygmies today. I think all the lefties should listen to him. Anyway, there followed a newsagents special with Lewis Goodall about the treatment of child asylum seekers. I had to turn it off as I found it too upsetting.

Gemmill is a cunt. Let's see if Shearer parrots this next MotD.

"Raise warning level to Def Com Brown. We thought we'd gotten away with it after the Black Cats bar blunder, but Grimes has sussed the Frat kid's true allegiance and the placement of the infantry behind enemy lines". "Roger. We'll I instruct the Frat kid to wear an FTM pin badge. Over."

Aye. It looks like the ManU match might decide 6th place, hopefully by then a draw will be enough for us.

I dunno. Aren't they red and white Bilbao brothers in arms?

ManU drawn. Mackems perennial losers. Another near perfect day for us!

Well done Klopp.

Tbf I have a weird blind spot for QPR and Crystal Palace, always get them mixed up for some reason, don't know why.

Got that saved. Very underrated politician imo.

Didn't Sunak recently think Rwanda was in Louisiana or something?

I normally have empathy in this kind of situation, but for Trump supporters?

@ the title. Nothing less than 6 goals and 4 points is acceptable.

You've all accidentally toggled it into nostalgia mode, 2002 edition. Settings>Internet time>nostalgia mode. 👍

But Whickham and West Auckland are both in county Durham marra. Must have been a fifth column of fans of massive lads with a grudge against toilets.

I do love how they make the SoL seem like such a lovely place.
