    [Politics] Westminster debate on returning football fans

    Brilliant. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Parliamentary time is very limited. They set this debate up as a matter of semi-urgency, well before the announcement of the second lockdown. Also, lockdown is the perfect time to have it as, by the time we come out of it, and assuming football...

    Should we? Oh, OK. Thanks.

    [Politics] Westminster debate on returning football fans

    The recent online Government petition demanding football spectators be allowed back into stadia attracted just shy of 200,000 signatories. This afternoon, MPs will be debating this petition, and what to do next. Details here. Additionally, the Daily Mail (yeah, sorry) has run an article on...

    [Misc] Global warming....possible to argue?

    Then there's mere fact he's still calling it 'global warming' when the scientists dropped that a while ago, and use the term 'climate change'. So yes, you can argue - if you wish to use alternate facts.

    [Politics] 2020 US election - Joe Biden vs Donald Trump

    And Brighton play in red and blue stripes, and Crystal Palace are nicknamed 'The Seagulls'. Jesus wept, you're making this fantasy up as you go along, Karen. Textbook gaslighting. You've posted your fabrication several times, and it doesn't make any more sense now than the first time. There...

    [Football] AFC Wimbledon

    9,000 apparently, with scope to make it 20,000 if necessary.

    Ah yes. Mis-read that first time round.

    [Football] AFC Wimbledon

    Good luck to them in their 'new' home. Or rather, their re-built home in Plough Lane, which they return to today. The way we got ripped out of the Goldstone Ground is one thing - but they had their entire club stolen, and I take great pleasure from seeing them above MK Dons in the table.

    [Music] Style Council : Long Hot Summers - Sky Arts

    Coincidentally, I was due to see Weller at the Brighton Centre on Saturday night, when the TV programme was on. Obviously, it got postponed and has been re-booked for next June. Here's hoping.

    [Music] Style Council : Long Hot Summers - Sky Arts

    If it's the same day, I think he had been recording with Steve Ellis from the Love Affair in Brighton, and also went into Immediate Clothing. I suspect Ellis was just showing him the sights... Now Ian MacKenzie knows Steve; apparently friends of the family - but he REALLY wasn't expecting...

    [Music] albums that didn't get anywhere enough notice ....

    Some excellent tracks on 'Home' - Terry Hall's debut solo album from 1994. Critically a success, commercially a flop.

    [Football] Glasgow Celtic.

    I'll go with what the Celtic club historians told me (I asked them). You go with your own version, if you wish. I was never talking about how people referred to them. I was talking about their actual name.

    I was going to challenge that with Canvey Island FC, but I think your claim is pretty conclusive...

    [Football] Glasgow Celtic.

    To people who wish to call them by something other than their proper name, absolutely.

    [Football] Glasgow Celtic.

    The opposite, actually. Neither club has ever had 'Glasgow' in their name. It's 'The Celtic Football Club' and 'Rangers Football Club'. Always has been. :)

    [Football] Future VAR referees

    We are probably making the same argument from different ends. Only Clattenburg was qualified to be on the international longlist, so no-one else from England could have been on it. And as you say, by the time the FA's next choice was made (Michael Oliver), it was too late for him to do the...
