    [News] Reparations

    So let me get this right. Leaders from across the globe fly in to a small island in the Pacific to meet King Charles, Head of the Commonwealth, to suggest country of said King pay money for something that ended some 217 years ago with the Abolition of The Slave Trade Act. Yet these 55 member...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    This should be Labour's starting point. If they used this example then even the most stupid person could grasp what Starmer is so far unable to communicate: Employee with £18,570 gross salary sole income source pays £1,678.20 in tax / NI Saver receiving £18,570 interest sole income source...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    The worry is that Starmer can't tell the difference between active and passive income. If he thinks someone who receives dividends is not a working person then millions of owner-managed directors who take low salary, high dividends from their own businesses are in for a big shock on Wednesday.

    [News] At what age should kids have smartphones - if at all?

    I think they should raise the minimum age for phone ownership to 9.

    [News] Undercover: Exposing the far right. Channel 4

    I found the documentary a bit slow, and whilst the undercover work was both excellent and brave, the network of activity they did reveal was reassuringly small and - dare I say - a bit tinpot. The highlight for me was the explanation of The Overton Window. It explains much about why Tory...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    I'll tell you what I think: 1. There is a difference between Russia and Putin. I think Putin would take the land, if offered by Trump. However, the rest of Russia won't care about the Ukrainian lands seized if the Russian economy continues to implode. 2. Putin's agenda is the re-creation of...

    [Palace] #cpfc

    A lot of people say this when the football team bombs out of a major tournament, or we lose the Ashes. And then every 4 years the Olympics and Paralympics comes round and English athletes win a shitload of medals. As for Palace, they've been in the Prem 12 seasons in a row, and whilst I...

    [Music] RIP Paul Di’Anno

    RIP Paul. I had both of those early Maiden albums on vinyl. Great records, and a wonderful time for heavy metal.

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson

    It's interesting to watch his 2023 goal highlights and compare then with Welbeck. Evan's trademark is his quick feet, his ability to find space and get shots off quickly and accurately - that is a rare quality, it's something that is natural, cannot be coached and like gold dust in the Prem...

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson

    I think people need to turn this on its head. Maybe Welbeck is playing his best football in a decade in part because he has Ferguson as competition? Forest have a similar thing with Chris Wood having a purple patch and Awoniyi taking a back seat. Young pup energises old dog, old dog teaches...

    [Other Sport] F1 2024

    1. Fair play to Ferrari - a masterful performance. 2. I think Norris was unlucky to get that penalty.at the end. 3. I'm glad they got rid of 1 point for fastest lap. It was a naive gimmick that should never have seen the light of day.

    [Albion] Danny Welbeck.

    Only 2 goals off Pascal's Albion all- time record of 30 Prem goals. Also, the first Albion player to score 5+ goals in 5 consecutive seasons.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Maybe there IS hope with Trump. In a rare showing of fair-mindedness he tempered his boast of out-driving former golf great Arnold Palmer by admiting locker room gossip has it that Palmer has a huge cock and that he is "all man". What next? Lyin' Kamala is a communist but her gym buddies say...

    [Albion] Premier League 19-21/10/24

    He backs into him while the ball is in the air, the keeper pushes him away and is therefore in no position to save the header. Foul play for me. Not hat I care either way.

    [Albion] Premier League 19-21/10/24

    That is going to hurt for Wolves, and the manner of that defeat can only benefit us for next week. And that wasn't a goal. Bernardo has backed into the keeper whilst in an offside position, affecting Sa's ability to come for the ball and his abilty to react to the header.
