  1. Even before the rioting a few on here predicted he’d be pig sick of being an MP before long. Due to the greater scrutiny it would bring to his views, his past, his financial dealings etc. He’s fine when he’s prepared about what he’s going to say but he gets very prickly the moment he’s challenged.
  2. I don’t, however, think it’s too far fetched to suggest certain forces are primed to try and instigate this sort of thing when the opportunity arises. There’s some coordination but, as with everything, there isn’t sone overarching control. A lot of it is a chaotic chain of events. That doesn’t mean the usual suspects shouldn’t be held to account for fanning the flames of course. Particularly with how serious it’s become
  3. Difficult to see how much different Kerr could’ve ran that because of the way Ingerbrigsen ran his race. It’s over in the metaphorical blink of an eye when it’s that fast. Tactics, to an extent, go out the window and its survival of the fittest in the last 10-15% of the race. Which is what you want in an Olympic final. Thought it was a fabulous race and Kerr did himself proud. It’s incredibly fucking difficult winning a medal in an event like that anyway and that was a mental final
  4. One of my favourite players ever. An absolute genius
  5. Surprised they’re not in for Clarke
  6. One of the main reasons Baggio went to Juve was because, iirc, the stadium renovations for Italia 90 for Fiorentina which spiralled out of control. It’s basically like a national monument, so it was inconceivable they relocated. Florentine pride also meant it was inconceivable that the stadium wouldn’t host World Cup matches. To improve the capacity they lowered the pitch and removed the running track. Baggio was sold to help pay for it. They already hated Juve but it was a particularly bitter blow for the fans at the time. Especially as the team didn’t really get anything out of, as the money was already spent
  7. Talk about handling of immigration. How about record levels of legal migration? A complete failure in tackling a refugee crisis, in no small part directly caused by a variety of policies and by Brexit. Underfunding all manner of public services to exacerbate the pressure on them. Then demonising the very people who aren’t to blame. 👍🏻
  8. He’ll be windmilling fascists. Or turning out for Brazil in Paris
  9. I also think you make a very good and valid point about BBC and SKY news and their collective lack of investigative journalism. Coupled with just looking for the controversial angle. I honestly don’t think it’s that representative of the nation but it’s not a million miles away from parroting the vile stuff you see on social media.
  10. At the start of the rioting the BBC included ‘people with legitimate concerns about immigration’ as being amongst those taking part in one of the reports
  11. Keep reminding her Jesus was a Palestinian 👍🏻
  12. Tbf anyone in their right mind hates that fucking prick. 🖕 And Ronaldo
  13. .com have the contract end date as ‘tbc’. I honestly think, due to the lack anything solid, people have just made up the 3.5 year thing to generate hits. Especially as it’s yet another window where FSR has meant there’s not a lot happening. You would think 4.5 years would be the minimum length of the contract
  14. Not just that. These ‘patriotic’ pliable fuckwits types are literally doing the bidding of hostile foreign powers. Who are looking to destabilise the country and its new government using Facebook etc. In the wake of a previous regime that’s left the police woefully undermanned and the criminal justice system at breaking point. It’s not just terrorism and political violence. It’sp coordinated acts of treason.
  15. Btw, Flintoff’s son, who is also an allrounder, has scored a couple of centuries for Lancashire second XI and made his List A debut for the county last month. At the age of 16. Seen some footage of his batting too and he looks just like his dad at the crease.
  16. Aye, that’s exactly what I thought must be happening at the time
  17. Ah, come on, man. It’ll have been before she crossed the line
  18. Unbelievable achievement winning Olympic gold in such a competitive event. But doing it in such a high quality field, as favourite, with all that pressure, with such a confident display? Fucking class that like
  19. Should’ve been arrested for that shirt alone. 90s Snoop Dog wasn’t wearing tops that baggy
  20. Means held in prison until their trial and not offered bail I think. Would be standard for this sort carry on. Also there is relatively high prison capacity at present after recent emergency measures lead to early releases
