I reckon he’ll get done for breach of contract if there’s another ban on top of the current one. Hopefully the FA will see sense and any additional ban would be considered unduly harsh. I won’t hold by breath though. It would also be a harsh move by the club but they’d probably not really see any other option thanks to FFP rules. And if all that were to happen then I think his whole career would be in jeopardy. It would be a terrible way to treat an addict imo. I’m not just saying that because he’s our player. As I tend to agree he’s not that likely to make it here either way

That and his party has a large working majority. Not to mention being the largest party in the Lords. He’s thick as pig’s shit as well, which doesn’t help

Didn’t realise you worked for the mail. My condolences

I like how she’ll have said that whilst knowing it was absolutely untrue and the Mail printed it anyway. Almost certainly also knowing it was bollocks. The UK press in a nutshell

That's a massive ship to squeeze under the bridge btw. I'm surprised a collision with one support can bring the entire structure down and that's it's taken so long for it to happen 

 

Edit - 

 

Turns out some other bridges have safeguards against this happening 

 

Yeah, I thought it was odd that it didn’t have those (which was mentioned when the accident was first reported). Even the Gateshead Millennium Bridge has them. Them was some minor controversy about if spoiling the aesthetics at the time, as some people deemed it overkill. When you consider it was deemed necessary there, you’d think it would be in place for a bridge carrying traffic over such a busy waterway / port of that size. Probably missed out the original design and thought too expensive to put right in the age of massive container ships. Fucking mental in retrospect

I got the train into Leeds today and was pissing myself at the PR system. 

 

'This is the northern service train Leeds' 

 

The Leeds part. Fuck me. It was someone seriously taking the piss out of the Leeds accent but they absolutely nailed it. Superb. 

Almost every time I’ve been to Kings X, which is a lot of times, there’s been a bloke with a broad Glaswegian accent on the PA doing announcements. It’s not even the same fella, as I can even remember this happening decades ago. They simply have to be taking the piss, given how many of those listening will be struggling to understand what he’s saying

I mean he’s basically done two things here: realised being a cunt is more lucrative than being a woke / sensitive / modern man. And also realised he’s much more suited to the former

Look, he may not have studied Das Kapital. But there were at least a couple of Marx quotes in that calendar he got for Xmas. Around the time he started wearing horn-rimmed specs with plain glass in the lens

 There’s a party utterly bereft of anything remotely approaching talent. And then there’s this. What do we reckon will come first? A general election or him being suspended then defecting to Reform?

I don’t know about that. But I think she repaid Ashley the buyer’s loan. Wasn’t there a story that the Reuben’s had bought some of her stake in the club?

Wow! I remember reading several years back that it’s still a fairly regular occurrence for remains to be unearthed by accident on Belgium. By farmers ploughing fields and that sort of thing

He’s gone from being a Labour councillor to a Reform UK MP (via the Tories) in the space of 6 years. Tells you all about his principles (or lack thereof)
