Salt of the Earth, Capt Tom. It was a lovely little fundraiser and his modest, determined effort deserves widespread praise. The fact that it was seized on by the media, went viral, caught the public imagination and raised millions was coincidental; giving him a knighthood looks OTT, and...

Are the Mail, Express, Sun and Telegraph in on this metropolitan elite Remainer conspiracy?

Are you sure? Managing a squad of reasonably competitive players into relegation at short notice seems to me to be much more complicated than juggling the books and putting the company into administration.

Nice for almost the whole wide world. But not perhaps so nice for the shallow make-Britain-great-again clowns in Downing Street. A Trump defeat would see the arrival of a Brexit-sceptic, Europhile leader of the western world more likely to see the grown-ups in Brussels and Berlin as people he...

A fascinating disquisition but it didn't address what was clearly the question.

The odds will be more based on the facts that Norwich would still have to win five games, Bournemouth, Watford and Villa three games and West Ham two games, and that's assuming our GD was obliterated.

A Biden presidency wouldn't be ideal for post-Brexit Britain and its special relationship fantasies so perhaps Boris and the gang have bunged him a few bob.

Yann Kermorgant. It was terrible; right in front of all of us. We could see it coming long before it happened. Kermorgant launched himself from yards away. I don't think he was sent off.

Yes it was my point.

I suppose the reason the effect on Leicester City was mentioned is because this is a football club forum.

Indeed, it is pretty amazing that an established western nation can be sucked in by a crazy-haired philandering liar with the morals of a scrub rat and the political thinking of a second rate TV celebrity. America eh?

Careful, you'll be accused of being a member of the metropolitan elite any moment now...

I prefer him saying... it was a momentous day in English football, the debut of one of our greatest-ever wing backs for one of our country's greatest clubs - it's amazing to think the Brighton was actually at risk of going down when that game was played. Can you imagine... Brighton, not in the...

The key to this is Lincolnshire. If you go due north up the Greenwich Meridian you will pass through the sacred county. Stamford, in the south, is roughly level with Birmingham and therefore definitely Midlands. My sister's village, near Grimsby, is further up than Liverpool and therefore...

America does some things bigger and better than us, including populist lunacy, but the number of reference points to the UK situation in that piece is startling. Politics driven by a fear of 5G, vaccines, of a hidden conspiracy of experts, the lurking power of the metropolitan elite, of George...

Indeed. Or to put it another way, out of 30 points available to our rivals, they have accumulated two. Two!

I'm not sure you're supposed to say that. The Great British Common Sense has helped turn our country into what it is today.

Are those words on the side meant to be ironic?

I agree with you in a sense - the Mail, Express, Sun, Telegraph, in fact most national newspapers, campaigned furiously in favour of Leave, claiming as you say that they knew best and therefore they (or at least their vested-interest owners) should share the blame for what happened.

Lettuce pray he's not injured.
