    Just how awful is this government? June 2020 edition

    Full control of our borders is an impossibility. A small vessel slips unseen into the expanse of Dungeness. The 10-15 passengers scurry across the shingle to a waiting vehicle ( all part of the service ) It takes them to an area of the country where they can enter the black economy, be paid in...

    So has a separate subforum for racism,antisemitism, homophobia and Nazism worked ?

    But I thought that was the idea of The Bear Pit. Allow the inflexible and excitable to play verbal ping pong, winding-up, reacting, more winding-up, overreaction and eventually descent into downright rudeness. All good, harmless fun to those that don't take themselves too seriously and highly...

    [Politics] Brexit

    We already make many varieties of Brie and Camembert in the UK. The French and Germans have been producing their own Emmental ( Swiss ) for years. The Europeans have been producing Cheddar for a long time but the UK market is pretty solid. Ireland does a lot of dairy business here, particularly...

    Thank you for suggesting that my view favours the Tories but just to set the record straight, I have never voted Tory in my life and never will. Don't allow the narrow parameters of political bias to let you assume that criticism of one party automatically infers support of another.

    As soon as I saw the scorecard this evening...I thought of.....Dexter...Parks...Snow...Greig...Miandad...Wessels...Parker...Imran...Le Roux..Wells...Goodwin.....and I started crying.

    [Food] What was your favourite school dinner?

    Wow....lucky you! I was weaned on Meat ( varieties ) + 2/3 Veg ( varieties ) plus stodgy pudding and custard....and to be honest, it didn't vary very much. When they finally opened a Tuck Shop, I reckon 50% of the kids abandoned school meals and switched to Mars Bar and Crisps.

    Just how awful is this government? June 2020 edition

    Well........if their record in getting to grips with rampant anti-semitism in their party is anything to go by......I don't hold out much hope that they would have fared any better......The easiest thing to do in this whole scenario is to be a little bit clever in hindsight and start latching...

    Bernie Ecclestone says black people are often 'more racist' than white people

    1) The Nation of Islam ( NOI )....Black Supremacist and White hating organisation. 2) The Ku Klux Klan...................White Supremacist and Black hating organisation. Both visible, transparent and in the public eye in the USA and very little done to curb their activities. Both been around...

    [Football] Relegation odds 20/21

    Wolves are interesting as they are almost a unique project, built around a Portugese manager, a Portugese agent and a core of very good Portugese players ( 7 at the last count ). Their ' sustainability ' in the top half could well depend on this core staying in place. The dynamic in any club can...

    Don't let the facts get in the way of a bit of Brexit bashing. Its wearisome to think that we have got years of this ahead of us.

    Peerages for Brexiters, Knighthoods for Tax dodgers

    That is why I am totally anti-establishment, unlike many on here, who moan and groan but are so frigging insecure that they can't bear the thought of not being under the ' safety net that ' Big Brother ' throws over you. Politics, the Civil Service, the Diplomatic Service, the Judiciary and the...

    [Football] It's CUP FINAL day

    Their domination has been a bit longer than that.....23 years to be precise. From 1997 to 2020, one or the other or both have been in 16 finals. Arsenal have won 7 out of 8...and Chelsea have won 7 out of 9.....Arsenal's only defeat was 2001, when they battered Liverpool and should have been out...

    [Football] Adam Lallana ****Singed****

    .....and considerably better than anybody we currently have in midfield. If we are going to progress, we have to re-shape the most ponderous, creative-less, goalless midfield in the PL. Who sets up chances? Who drives into the box to set stuff up? Or gets on the end of anything? Who tests the...

    [Albion] Positives from today

    Achieved 12 points from 9 post lockdown matches. Moved from 2 points above drop zone to 7 points clear. Strong finish to season from team as a whole and in particular from Bissouma, Lamptey, Webster and Maupay. Plus a goal from Connolly, which is a massive confidence boost. Onward and upward.

    Aah...The Black Prince. One of my favourite players. No quarter given, none asked. Full bloodied commitment. The memories.....back heel v Walsall....the 4 goals at Hartlepool that should have been 5 ( his shot stuck in the mud on the goalline )...getting stick at Crawley in the Sussex Senior...
