Gloucester Saint

Whilst I agree, sadly too many cases in this country eg Stefan Kiszko, Andrew Malkinson and others, the coppers never face proper justice for their crimes. Duckenfield and Hillsborough. Stefan Kiszko is the worst, as described by a Tory MP at the time. Dick Holland was corrupt on this, concealing evidence, and if this wasn’t bad enough, he messed up badly in the Yorkshire Ripper (albeit he wasn’t alone, see Oldfield, Gregory Hobson etc) enquiry leading to further murders after he told a junior detective at the time, Andy Laptew. who raised concerns after interviewing the Sutcliffes that he’d be put on traffic duty if he suggested further investigation into Peter after the interview and several spotting of his car in red light areas where police were active. If they’d have matched the sightings to the interview, the various photo fits, and trailed Sutcliffe, they’d have caught him earlier. Grade A arsehole of a copper and coward of a man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lesley_Molseed

That, and the island of strangers speech was clearly bollocks and counter to everything he had done in a distinguished career. It’d be like me telling people they shouldn’t drink quality real ales or craft beers, or Turkish saying going to the gym or fitness is a waste of time.

Soundtrack to many a Question of Sport mystery round.

May have been concerned that she might cut off their tails with a carving knife?

Grown on the cunt trees. Does seem to be bumper crop at the moment. Didn’t Blur sing a song about that? @Farmer Saint do you harvest them on the farm?

I’ll reckon the latter two options.

An imaginary one I expect. Interesting here, we don’t live that far from Fairford and has been expected for a while that the IRGC would try something. The fact they’ve been caught is good news for UK and US. Not as if the threat wasn’t telegraphed (no pun intended) since June. Very little to do with asylum issues, IRGC won’t have have sent them in on a small inflatable! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/23/iran-threatens-to-attack-raf-fairford/

Well-balanced article here on UPFs highlighting the issues but also that it’s case by case with each item rather than a blanket ‘it’s all bad’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqn4knlj9v81o

Luton got a huge deduction - 30 points IIRC which relegated them to non league in 2008.

More likely to fall asleep after drinking Perla 😂

Sank a bottle of Perla - wonderful Polish Pils - whilst watching Cheltenham beat Chesterfield 2-1 in a highly entertaining contest. Great to watch two sides going at it at a consistently high tempo unlike the plodding sideways shit beloved of SR. Finn Azaz was on loan there a few years ago and still remembered fondly by the Robins faithful. I see Harrogate whacked Beastleigh 4-1. Carlisle 5th from bottom - Rob Elliott still a crap manager. Sacked Mark Hughes after 93 points and appointed that plum instead.

Russia are also banned from all major sporting competitions, if they weren’t hardly anyone would play them, and America are heading that way if Trump won’t accept defeat in November. Wouldn’t be upset if Iran were banned from international football. Trump has had loads of artists take injunctions against him to stop using their material.

I agree with your top four, but not 🇮🇱 being a distant fourth under the Mad Bens. Under another government, they wouldn’t even make my top 4. I’d go: =1 to US and Russia =3 Iran and *Israel

Once their electorate dump Netanyahu and Ben Givr, they’ll get support again from me. But those two are even worse than Trump and need to go.

Some more US-funded ex-football hooligan patriots, this time also featuring some Nazi salutes. In the 1980s, we just called them the National Front.
