I popped into Sainsbury’s earlier to buy a “This Christmas I’m identifying as a transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic twat” to send to you but sadly they had sold out.

Liz Truss as a “voice of authority?” 😂 https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/donald-trumps-10bn-claim-against-bbc-mentions-liz-truss-as-voice-of-authority-401423/#

Indeed. When Biden showed signs of losing the plot it was quite rightly picked up by the mainstream media. Not only is Trump’s loss of plot on a far bigglier scale, but the mainstream media are giving him a far easier ride. I was concerned that he might somehow orchestrate a third term (declare war on someone and cancel the next election?) but the way things are going with his behaviour and apparent health problems I can’t see him lasting another year in office. He has prevented the publication of the latest growth indicators, that can only be because they are not good. You would hope that more and more of his supporters are seeing through his bullshit. Doubling down on his disgusting comments about Rob Reiner and his wife probably didn’t go down too well either. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-canceled-gdp-report-scrutiny-11103747

Oh dear. Get a grown up to explain to you why there is a difference between having an attitude that hasn’t changed in 50 years and still being firmly rooted in the past, and actually evolving. I’ll give you an example. Men used to call women “birds” back in the 60’s and 70’s. The only people who still call them “birds” in 2025 are those who have that same mentality and haven’t moved on with the times. The only person making themselves look silly is you nic.

More embarrassment for the White House. https://news.sky.com/story/new-plaques-in-trumps-white-house-attack-joe-biden-barack-obama-and-george-w-bush-13485023

This should be interesting. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/donald-trump-s-bbc-lawsuit-puts-him-on-the-stand-where-he-must-tell-the-truth/ar-AA1StSFz?cvid=0a52709d84d24cfba130b4b88e8f4765&ocid=hpmsn

Perhaps the rest were black and she was the first white woman? 😉

Can’t remember the season but it was in the Channon era. Stoke at The Dell. 3-0 up at half time. Stoke pulled three goals back in the second half including a 30 yard screamer by our ex centre half Dave Watson. The place erupted when we scored the winner deep into the game. The 1976 FA Cup Final obvs. The Charity Shield v Liverpool too where we played better than the final but lost 1-0. The last few games of the Great Escape were incredible. I think I still have the t-shirt somewhere.

Most father and sons find things to bond over like going fishing together. You have to be pretty deranged to do something like this in the first place, but to involve you son too…. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/dec/17/bondi-terror-attack-alleged-shooter-charged-after-15-killed-at-hanukah-celebration-ntwnfb

That is a strange one. I can only think that they are trying to be all things to all people and are trying to cater for those still stuck in the 1970’s.

I still can’t get my head around that last episode. Can’t believe that I left Succession off of my list.

Of course you can’t. You once asked why we gave so much air time to the president of the USA.

Time for your meds grandpa… https://newrepublic.com/post/204417/donald-trump-christmas-speech-snakes

He claims that the BBC has a history of reporting him in a negative manner. The filing says the BBC had no regard for the truth about President Trump and characterises the BBC as making an effort to craft as one sided an impression and narrative against him as possible. A lot to unpack here but let’s start with what happened to free speech Donald? Then, Trump’s relationship with “the truth” is tenuous at best so good luck with that. The only person responsible for crafting a negative impression of Trump is Trump himself. From memory the Panorama programme also featured interviews with some MAGA members who spoke favourably about Trump. Why do that if they weren’t trying to be even handed. I have seen countless news reports about Trump on the BBC and they have only reported what has happened. Usually what comes out of his mouth is enough to condemn him, he doesn’t need any help in making himself look stupid. The original speech in this case was around 50 minutes long and was always going to be edited down. He will have to prove that the edit was done with malicious intent. Unless they can produce hard evidence that was the intent, the case might not even make it to court.

It’s a point of view. I have already said that change is needed so I don’t see how that is ‘binary?’
