What just happened?

I don’t think that Dibling had any choice but to go on his own.

I don’t know what it is like down there, but here in Kent it is blowing a gale. There are times when you should be playing the ball on the ground. Not sure about the wisdom of brining in Tall Paul on a day like this?

Look on the bright side. Perhaps the gusty conditions will prove to be a leveller. 😉

I remember May saying that the Tories were in danger of becoming the nasty party. She was certainly right on that score. It seems that they have completely given up on taking any high moral ground and are just concentrating on fighting it out with Farage for the culture war/anti-woke/flag shagging votes. Still, it worked for Trump.

Personally I think that the Championship is a better place than the EPL for a host of different reasons, but each to their own. We also now have a much stronger squad Championship wise and depending on who leaves or not, will be strong contenders to come back up again.

His gut feeling was to take a conspiracy theory from X and spread it on another social media platform. -

Bomb scare at Gatwick airport. Putin’s doing? Also a bomb alert near the US embassy and two undersea cables cut in the Baltic in the last couple of days.

Can’t believe that anyone with any level of intelligence still falls for the guff on conspiracy theorist heaven that is X. Where was all this during the last 14 years of Tory rule hippo? You have suddenly woken up but hardly a peep out of you during one of the most corrupt and incompetent periods of government in our lifetime. -
A very long but interesting read. https://zoe.com/learn/covid-response?lid=3e3l30a22q2l

Netanyahu has played the anti-Semitic card against the ICC.

Still stuck in the 1970’s Duckie 😂

I can think of several people who would be all over social media if they were dating someone like her. Have a go at his tactics by all means, but I think he is doing what most would do in the circumstances!

As do the people who think it is funny.

Sorry to hear that Trousers. It probably doesn’t help when some idiot plays down serious medical issues. All the best to the family.

Another reason for the idiots to post laughing emojis. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/arrest-warrants-issued-for-israeli-pm-netanyahu-and-former-defence-secretary-gallant-over-alleged-war-crimes-13257801

More from Parliament https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgl4p3yg769o.amp I have listened to a lot of compelling arguments against the bill in the last few weeks but I still think that the choice should still be there for those who want it. I do accept that there is a problem about policing and how decisions are arrived at and the “slippery slope” arguments are clearly a concern, but, in certain circumstances I still think that we should have the right to end our lives with dignity and without have to resort to either suicide or going through a traumatic end of life, if it can be avoided. Coming from someone who knows a lot more about the proposed legislation than most of us, apparently the bill is a lot more watertight and less likely to be able to be challenged in court for the purposes of amendments than other legislation around the world.

The Korean War ended with an armistice signed on 27th July 1953. The armistice was a result of months of negotiations between the U.S., North Korea, South Korea, China, the Soviet Union and the United Nations.

All conflicts end around a table. It is just a question of when a conflict reaches a point that an agreement can be reached between the combatants. If Ukraine are losing more slowly it also means that Russia aren’t winning very quickly.

Storm Shadow missiles fired into Russia and Biden agreeing to the deployment of anti personal mines (which I thought were “illegal”) show that we aren’t falling for Putin’s sabre rattling.

I think it goes a bit deeper than that doesn’t it? If it wasn’t such a big deal, why do it? I am sure you are aware of the theory that Netanyahu allowed the attack to go ahead to give him a reason to do what he is doing now.

As I said, everyone has to find a way of finding the money to pay inheritance tax if they are liable for it. In terms of “grave robbing” as you so colourfully put it, what should farmers be exempt? We all benefit from the NHS, public services etc, should we all pay for it? Not every farmer will be liable for it. Do you have an issue with those with the broadest shoulders taking a bit more of the burden?
