Wouldn’t surprise me, Labour have been obsessed with people having some sort of ID since Blair. If they have their way, you’ll have to prove who you are for everything, (apart from voting that is, that’s a step too far 😂).

first season he scored 5 goals. Second season he scored 0. It was the third season when the goals started to come. Goals are not everything though, BT ran his heart out and the did count for something.

Sounds like Farage and the boats to me.

Nope, it’s because it’s pro-Labour, pro-state. For all the other platforms he is following the same playbook that authoritarian governments always use: Create the problem (stranger danger), sell the solution (more authoritative surveillance state), repeat.

It was

Egypt leading Belgium now. Nice shot

Private companies are always better than public, for a plethora of reasons. State planning and centralised control does not work, and always leads to terrible outcomes Anyone that thinks otherwise hasn’t read enough history. (Sorry to be blunt; but it’s true).

And, of course, the US utility companies, for example, are peerless in their quality of service and value for money.

There is a lot of comment on this if you GOOGLE it, including a report that criticises Police for arresting a man who posted pictures of his fancy dress worn for a party - he was dressed as the Manchester Arena bomber, carrying a placard that read "I love Ariana Grande", and had "BOOM" and "TNT" written on his rucksack. Obviously harmless play and totally inoffensive.

Oh for fuck sake, it’s Danny Murphy now……

The infrastructure is the same! Same with the energy firms, they’re just buying from the wholesale market. It’s why public v private comparisons are best left to rent-a-Henry dinlos in the Telegraph. Some sectors do things better than others and nothing wrong with a mixed economy.

This is a bad example as even though they are “private” they have not been a truly free / private market. They’ve been kind of a state sponsored monopoly which has allowed the worst of both worlds. The failures of the system aren't born out of open-market competition; they are born out of a deeply flawed regulatory framework that gave private companies the perks of a monopoly without the market discipline that forces normal businesses to perform.

Can you actually put the link please? A screenshot of a title doesn't give us the context of the article.

Yeah, because the privatised water companies are working out really swell (if the swell is faeces or toxic). I could really rub your nose in it and highlight facts and figures about our energy companies and the tens of thousands piled up in US Republican states through Covid by their healthcare system but I’ll save that treat for a future occasion. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68701486

Perhaps because they already have age verification in place.

Yes - over 12000 since 2023 The thing is - these new powers never get reversed. You may agree with it now, but what happens in a few years if someone you disagree with gets into power? Would you trust Trump with a totally censored internet?

The Internet is not designed for anonymity To start with, your IP address is known to your ISP, and everything follows from that. Yes VPNs and the "dark web" can help, but Social Media is certainly not the place to expect to operate without being identified.

Definitely. Beattie showed effort, and commitment that opposition struggled with. He built on that and the rest came later. But from recollection within a year, not three or four seasons later after a failed loan.

But doing the same thing against Northampton a few days later probably only reinforced the issue. That he’s crap

https://www.efl.com/news/2026/june/15/efl-professional-retain-list-2025-26/ The EFL has published a list of contracted and non-contracted retained players, and also a list of released contracted players. Note that Bree, Long, Lavin and Peretz are not included as they were not contracted to the club when the list was submitted to the EFL. In fact Bree is on the released list with a note that he was offered a contract. Dobson-Ventura has been offered a new contract. Hansel Adjei-Afriyie is in the contracted list so must have signed pro terms. The list of scholars is the entire list of last year's first and second year scholars (except those on pro terms) so not sure it tells us much about who has been retained/released. For example, it includes Tino Goremusandu who has posted farewells on Instagram. I've posted the list as published. The comma key doesn't seem to work on EFL keyboards!

Just as well that you don't, then.

A bit of name dropping. I did a charity cycle ride across Scotland a few years back now and Lee Dixon was one of those on that ride. He was a really decent bloke with a great sense of humour along with Sir Les Ferdinand. Now the rugby guys to a man apart from Kenny Logan were a bunch of cvnts.

fucking hell all of our strikers for the last 6-7 yrs hated getting on the end of crosses. They were all top of the box merchants

Thousands of arrests mate. Thousands!!!!
