‘Image regarding Alpine’ - wonder what that was about?

One of the BBC’s better recent articles summarises the massive hole Trump has followed Mad Ben down and why years of slagging off NATO partners has caught up with Trump and Vance, hitting him on the nose like boomerang 🪃 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r17plnvy3o Trunp needs a plan and doesn’t have one. Curbing some of Israel’s funding to slow them down for a bit might cool things enough for other nations to help keep the Strait open.

Now resorting to threatening NATO partners to help him as he’s realised Mad Ben and Israel are not going to stop in Lebanon or Iran until they’ve reduced both to the entire rubble Gaza is. Might have been a good idea to do that thing MAGA and Trump never do - think - before following Mad Ben and his loony cabinet down another rabbit hole.

Er, based on wages alone, no.

Usually meaning that they have no such interest in that being the case.

The game at Fratton seemed to really give him extra petrol - very fired up for that, revelled in the atmosphere and has carried that on.

Can’t agree, he’s fine for say Exeter or Bromley next year, but not for top 6 L1 let alone Champ. Peretz is different calibre.

South West Water are every bit as bad as Thames https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24djd273y6o The fine will end up being paid through the bills of one of the lowest wage and seasonal economies in the UK. Levy it directly on the boardroom instead, and a hefty top slice paid direct to customers on the next couple of rounds of shareholder dividends. If people are wondering why my words are so strong, they’ve only recently fessed up to this serious offence which they tried to cover up https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg3599690yo

I thought the thread was for unpopular opinions 😉

I’ve effectively had an enforced mostly dry February and March so far with this git of a chest infection which I got after the antibiotics I took to sort my sinus infection meant all of the crap settled there instead.

Jeffrey is still kicking around I think.

Everyone is and always been skint in January, regardless of who is in power. Christmas is a blowout for families and people go easier in January and sometimes February. Plus you have the Dry January campaigns etc and the weather isn’t great. Not difficult really and not changed since I was a nipper in Southampton.
