Gloucester Saint

I have to deal with it at work. But that doesn’t mean I ever have to like it.

Courts will kick it out at state level, SC hasn’t been as compliant as he’d hoped either. If they don’t go ahead, it’ll break up as a country starting with California and NE Seaboard.

Just read about that, what an absolute bellend. Sit down protest. Just let the clubs get on with it and if Fiorentina make them an acceptable offer I’m sure he can go. Three PL goals last season sunshine in 20th place. Might want to reflect on his ‘contribution’. Mind you, Wolves have had Mario Lemina stain their armband and there are few bigger wasters in football than not so super Mario.

Your middle paragraph gets to the core issue - Trump and Vance expended both political capital and taxpayer dollars bringing him to the US. Very strange hill for them for to die on when they’re already in huge trouble ahead of the mid-terms because of the war and chewing Mad Ben’s winnets. If the Democrats were any good (they’re not) it’d be a foregone conclusion already.

We’ll see what the wicket’s like when they bat on it but not an inspiring start. Smith got a peach from Cook but he’s also shit. Stubbs carrying on his brilliant contribution from Finals Day. At least Thomas Rew and David Miller can bat (even if Miller is almost old enough to be Rew’s dad).

Ann Widdecombe nearly got into the final of Strictly despite barely being able to dance. You don’t do that unless you have a pretty strong cross-party, and non-political following. There must have been people voting for her who had never engaged with politics. We did in the early rounds because it was fun to watch. So this idea of a torrent of people gloating at her horrific murder is bollocks. Everyone I know is horrified of all stripes. Her politics are different but I liked her when I met her, a lot. Someone at work who met her a few times got on so well that they sent each other Christmas cards every year and their politics couldn’t be more different. If people want to find ghouls and plumb the gutter of social media, they’ll find them. But let’s not pretend it’s typical in any way of one ideology or another. That’s victim mentality. Horrific humans - that’s the common thread.

How many people actually was that though? A few braindead wasters singing Ding Dong the Witch is Dead which got on the radio. Specifically LBC. Probably no more than the Man City fans celebrating Bobby Charlton’s passing. Or people at Liv-Man U singing about Harold Shipman or Hillsborough. Proving beyond doubt that there are cunts on the right, cunts on the left and cunts at football grounds who don’t vote or have any idea about politics. Cunts on X or Facebook who wish cancer sufferers trying to fundraise for research to die (one of my friends received a string of these). There are a small number of cunts and trolls everywhere. Anyway, I’ve turned into @whelk and I can’t be stealing his mantle for efficient and effective use of the c-word.

I can’t control what others think but I certainly wouldn’t be celebrating and I don’t think when it came to it that all bar a small minority of ghouls who I’d rather not share oxygen with. Farage has got a partner and kids, Jo Cox had a partner and kids. Hope the twat who made remarks online recently about Farage being shot gets prosecuted for hate. And let’s not even go there on all of the various vile and hateful posts by Reform local candidates.

Either GM has hacked @Crab Lungs account or he’s become almost as a big a cunt, because his last two posts have been woeful. Used to be a well-respected poster on SWF for many years but seems to be radicalised. Just unnecessary towards fellow Saints fans. Even the toy salesman on the Pompey Takeover Thread had better manners. I’m going the best thing you can do with WUMs, and that’s putting him on ignore. As for people having sub-IQs, hilarious, given most if not all of the people he’s taking a pop are professionals/graduates/expert trades. I’d love to see this plank’s professional and educational attainment by comparison. Learned all he ‘knows’ on Raise the Colours.com from Tommy and hates the MSM.

I still don’t think they know what his real motivation is/was. Has to be political somewhere but could be single issue rather than parties. But who knows.

That’s not entirely my impression. Raise the Colours activists got behind suspects online enmasse for attacks like this on a regular basis https://news.sky.com/story/council-pulls-down-large-number-of-flags-after-racist-park-attack-13441679 Plenty of support was found online for these incidents too https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/lamppost-flag-campaign-founder-charged-murder-5HjdZt2_2/ and this person was arrested at the Unite the Kingdom March https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx217901n00o You could pull up examples of equal shittiness from the person at Aberdeen Uni, and some of the comments on Charlie Kirk at the time. I find it equally vile and a serious illness on our democracy. The reporting doesn’t help often either in terms of enciting grievance on either side of the extreme margins.

That’s a much better post now.

Let’s use the court’s official term - sexual abuse and defamation https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/07/carroll-receives-payment-from-trump/ He’s finally had to pay up from his cryptogrifting for the $5.6m, but still stalling on the $83m aided by corrupt Justice Dept officials and trying to get his judges on the SC to help (they’ve proved rather less compliant that he hoped thus far on several other issues) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit-payment-b3018969.html

Petrie dished up rubbish. Liking the Hill of Bean gag 😀 Only 4 down Yorks favourites but as we’ve seen so often a couple of quick wickets and sides can panic.

Oi, I made that joke first 😀
