I think it's bollox. Sure, there's a war industry, but I don't accept that BlackRock are influencing leaders to go to war, which seems to be his implied point.

There haven’t been arrests yet. Plenty were arrested after the Nowak riot, several were returned to their natural habitat, the prison. Sending threats of violence and intimidation to RNLI volunteers is a criminal offence and the cops won’t take kindly to it. Plenty of dawn door knocks to come.

"I DEMAND TO HAVE MY VOICE HEARD"... ...says man in balaclava who didn't want to be named.

Irrelevant mate, no arrests, so it was basically a tea party. Or something.

Are you seriously suggesting that without an arrest, a protest where things get damaged and people hurt, must be described as "peaceful"? What makes it not peaceful, an arrest?

You do realise that the word "attack" has many meanings and doesn't necessarily imply physical violence, right? Naming and shaming someone who risks their life to save others, and branding them as traitors or treasonous, is quite obviously an attack. What's your evidence for this?

Our issue is that we are very much reliant on keeping Larin free from injuries, fatigue or suspensions at least until January unless we have a free agent in mind. The fact that there are two international breaks may help us get through to the start of the Jan window. However, we need to have options in mind and act quickly once the next transfer window opens so that we can get a signing or loan in early rather than right at the end which would lose us another 4 weeks.

The point I was making earlier in the thread, we started off 4 points behind everyone now we are 6 behind WBA, 4 behind WHU, Swansea, QPR and Charlton etc. We have lost ground to the league leaders and made up none on the others mentioned.

Burnham is gaining more ground on the Greens as Polanski gets found out. Most Reform switchers, 8-9/10 statistically, are ex-Tories if you look at Curtis’s videos, so it’s how many/enough will make the move back given how tribal it’s become between Reform and the Tories. Can’t ever see Jenrick being forgiven - that was Harry/Saints - and Braverman is off her rocker. Plenty of councillors are switching back or going independent. I’m Lib Dem, so any gains we get are from are Badenoch shifting right wards (I know a few One Nation Tories she’s banned from standing who are switching yellow) and where Labour voters see us as the only option tactically to beat Reform where the Tory vote hasn’t recovered yet. Ditto many ex-Tory seats with former One Nation MPs.

He's mentioned several times that his boyhood hero (and later mentor) was Jussi Jääskeläinen, so had assumed a Bolton fan. Saw this as a good thing when he signed for Saints, as he said that a key reason was the chance to play every week, and emulate JJ's 500 appearences for Bolton. Hope the club can reach an agreement to get him in the first team squad for a promotion push, as him and Peretz in the PL would give us hell of a goalkeeping pairing.

The state & their mainstream media are DESPERATE to paint it as thuggery. But there is zero proof. Zero arrests. Zero evidence of any wrongdoing. Just people making their voices heard after being ignored for a decade.

12898475932 incidents at the 'carnival'.....but that is wonderful

See the post above yours. Your moral compass is more skewed than I thought if you regard a protest where people get injured, and items damaged, as peaceful. By your metric, if you popped down the local and people come in, cause damage, and hurt people, it'd have been a nice peaceful night unless someone got arrested. By a normal person's standards, however, that ain't peaceful.

It seems to be that if the BBC’s tone decides how people feel about protests, more than the data 9 arrests at the last pro-Palestine March. I bet that was mostly peaceful though?

Which bit of "Officers were injured and vehicles were damaged" do you not understand?

If we know anything from spygate and Tondas background as a video analyst it's that he's a hound for data and makes decisions based on it , but you reckon the data even though you don't have it would say playing out doesn't work but Tonda tells the team to do it anyway, nah doesn't make sense to me Swansea press high and hard to either win the ball back in a dangerous position or force the opposition to concede possession through going long , I thought we navigated it pretty well Come on Grandad be brave and trust the process!

More much more peaceful than many other 'largely peaceful' protests and "carnivals"...?

I agree. I am not convinced there are stand out teams so far... although i think the most likely 2 are ourselves and west ham. The 8 team play offs should also keep the league competitive and make it hard to pick up soft points near the end of the season - will impact automatics and relegation places imho. (I'd be worried if i was a shit team this season as so often they put together a nice little run vs sides that have nothing to play for and stay up as a result... not sure that will be the case this season).

I don’t think all wars are started because of financial gain (albeit some could be). However once they start, bearing in mind the sums of money and the power plays involved, it’s not surprising there is corruption at the highest levels unfortunately and that’s where decision making by politicians can become too influenced by different factors. I also don’t think it’s specific to people on one side of the political spectrum

So it was a peaceful protest, with zero arrests, yet you want to pretend it wasn’t peaceful. Got it. 😂😂🤡

It was Gary indeed, but this kind of thing shouldn't be surprising - it's why Trump has continued to give money to Ukraine as US companies will be involved in rebuilding - same with support of Israel in Gaza. All corrupt as fuck.

Not Gary?. Capitalism obviously isn’t flawless and should be called out when there are issues. Doesn’t mean that, in my opinion, it’s still by far the best system. Unfortunately regardless of the system human nature means that money and power corrupt.

So this is extremely similar to a video by another online commentator about where the COVID/furlough money went - in fact it's about the big problems with capitalism which is quite the opposite to your usual opinions. I'll give you 3 guesses as to who that commentator was...

Agreed re mixing it up. Is there also the argument that for playing it around at the back to work, the defensive team needs to lose the ball to the attackers occasionally. Part of the point is to draw the opposition out and if they never think they’ve got a chance of getting it back they’ll just sit deep. Bit like bookmakers always wanting you to win occasionally so you keep coming back.

Kemi needs to ask George Osborne and Vince Cable what happened about the Bedroom Tax during the Coalition (Osborne still regrets it today). Our politicians never learn from history https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9xznl0yvzo
