If it’s “societal” it should be prevalent as a gesture in all sports, the arts and other forms of mass entertainment………but it’s not, and there is no outrage that it’s not. As the European matches (international and UEFA cup matches) indicate its not prevalent as a gesture before matches in...

Football players are within the top percentile of the top 1%, they could easily create scholarship funds to help underprivileged black children to attend the same schools they send their own kids to. No doubt some football players donate money to worthy causes, if they can collectively kneel...

Nicely put, my experience of this weekend and bank holidays etc. is that it has created opportunities to meet neighbours (in a number of different jubilee inspired events) that I would never typically take the time to speak to in the ordinary course. Most of who I spoke with were neither Che...

Probably true, but what is it being replaced with, and what will that mean? Is it a President with executive powers or a ceremonial President, with largely the political leadership status quo. If there was a referendum that would broadly be the 2 choices? I would be surprised that we would...

Good luck to your generation on its Great Leap Forward. As demonstrated by Brexit overthrowing the control of institutions that are only decades old can be hard going, and massed ranks of political/artistic/media/corporate establishment will set their face against it as they seek to protect...

An interesting choice…….I am assuming Sir David Attenborough OM GCMG CH CVO CBE FRS FSA FRSA FLS FZS FRSGS FRSB will be a more straightforward President Dave Attenborough on the nomination form? That’s the good old multi millionaire, Cambridge University educated, privileged Dave, whose brother...

The comedian is missing a trick because he could have increased the diversity in this joke…… "I went to the Doctors last week and he said I've now got to have a pacemaker, so with Gerry and Frankie Marsden unavailable I've now got got little Kenyan bloke comes everywhere with me now" That said...

If it’s about the total deaths of the poor you’re concerned about, then surely your question should be why are thousands more Brazilians killed by guns than Americans……….or, if it was per capita of population then it would El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela……….on this metric the US...

Well Belgrade got bombed shitless by NATO without a UN mandate or an attack on a NATO member in 1999, but they got a free pass in the end. Once Johnson starts launching air strikes without UN mandates like that or even invasions on other sovereign states based on dossiers of lies we could start...

Of all the recent time lords surely this incarnation has the greatest chance of turning round the seemingly terminal decline of the franchise. After all this one will be able to draw on his experience of getting out of one shithole only to arrive in a similar shithole but without any...

So, connections between Kenny Everett and Angela Rayner? How about sucking cocks? Do I win a prize?

Whooooooooooooooooosh.

Seems to be a waste of a political scandal…..surely if MPs with cervixes were attempting to use the physical attributes to distract MPs with prostrate glands from their obligations of office, then I would hope Jess Phillips would be pouring her fun bags out of some skimpy low cut number at next...

Are you sure that quote wasn’t about politics in general….. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/no-10-aide-fired-over-obscene-email-smears-1667519.html Seems to be like a power corrupts issue…….

The French have been bitterly divided across a number of social and political fissures since 1789 which has created the accommodation of more extreme attitudes. The Dreyfus affair was in the 1890s and a helpful reference point to social attitudes in France compared to the U.K. who had already...

Hmm……it was 1.2% when Mutti got roasted by the Donald. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/11/donald-trump-tells-nato-allies-to-spend-4-of-gdp-on-defence #justsayin

I will take a bet with you it’s not oils and gas this year…… https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/german-industry-and-unions-oppose-eu-ban-on-natural-gas-from-russia/ar-AAWl3VT Still they are talking the right game publicly, and for many that’s all that really matters.

To be genuinely honest I think that view is entirely fair, I am an fashioned liberal I have no difficulty with opinions not aligned with my own. As I said at the start, IF those supporting the women’s game want parity with the men’s game the most effective route would be the creation of mixed...

HT NOT obsessing about people he doesn’t like on football forums in the early hours of a morning.
