    "White Lives Matter Burnley" banner flown over the Etihad

    Whose life is specially protected and what form of protection are you suggesting? Most Jews are white but they are the most persecuted race on earth. White children bully other white children because they might be deemed to be slightly different, affecting their development and future lives. I...

    Staying away from aircraft until well into 2021. Can't understand the rush to get onto one. From October onwards this thing will be spiking again.

    [Football] Anyone miss the teleprinter?

    Remember watching Grandstand in 1972, when we were away at Shrewsbury. We were drawing 0-0 at HT and so when the Tele/Vidiprinter starting clattering away I was hoping for....Shrewsbury 0.....then it appeared.....Shrewsbury 3 !!!!.......A loud expletive hit the air and my head drooped...

    [Albion] Football crowds could return in September, says FA chief executive

    I was pondering a reduced crowd scenario, which by implication, means that some limitations are still in place. I know people arrive at different times. I was suggesting that you might not be able to push past people to get to your seat, if, for example, a 1m ruling is still in place. How this...

    [Albion] Football crowds could return in September, says FA chief executive

    Very difficult to keep comparing other countries and their progress. So much differs from one to another. Key factors are clear and concise messaging from the leadership and discipline within the population. Lets be honest, some of our population got bored and restless very quickly and showed...

    [Albion] Football crowds could return in September, says FA chief executive

    Plenty to ponder re a reduced crowd scenario. 1) Distancing markers needed outside each turnstile. 2) Frisking not possible. So new security control needs to be introduced. 3) Distance control on concourses. 4) Can kiosk staff carry out their duties whilst still distancing? 5) Entry and exit...

    Politically, are you left or right wing?

    My trouble is that I have always been anti Establishment, anti Left and anti Right. Whoever you vote for, one thing is guaranteed. They will not fundamentally change things. They can't. They are only allowed to tinker around the edges. We get by in this country because of determination and work...

    [Football] The two games tonight ( 17 Jun )

    Just a thought....why are these four clubs starting ahead of everyone else? I know its their game in hand but I would have thought, that after 3 months off and starting in rather unfamiliar circumstances, it would have been fairer to all clubs if there had been a level start i.e no teams getting...

    Katya Adler always looks a bit flushed around the cheeks. Like she has just had a bit of naughties in the broom cupboard and then hurried back into the office.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Physical political manipulation has been going on for years. It used to be called ' boundary changes ' Governments did it to suit their own particular agenda. Labour moving boundary edges to include more bits of urban sprawl or newly formed immigrant areas and Conservatives losing those types of...

    What....a ' Putinesque ' type approach....never mind the law....I'll rewrite it.....the people won't mind and don't care....and if it starts to turn nasty....well, I'm the one with the heavies behind me.

    [Politics] Black Lives Matters on shirts

    BLM on the back of shirts is just a step too far. Players should have their names displayed clearly for easier identification. Its purely borne out of bandwagon over-sensitivity. The media take great delight in interviewing protest leaders ( usually white/black middle class youngsters who...

    Is no statue safe?

    Well, I assume the poster is inferring that they were black but then black people seem to be in the minority on these protest marches. They are dominated by young white women ( most of whom would otherwise be in seats of learning and not have time on their hands ) aged late teens to early/mid...

    [News] Fawlty Towers episode removed from UKTV

    They are also uncomfortable about the removal of statues. What gives local authorities the right to instantly remove historical artefacts without consulting local people and canvassing their views. They pay their taxes for the maintenance of such and should have a say. The Colston statue had...

    Oh dear....use of ' thick ' again.....intellectual snobbery rearing its ugly head, as it does over and over again on this forum. Why not 16-40 something thick people while we are at it or is that your age bracket and its too sensitive. Every far right march contains mainly people in this age...

    Funny how he had the second highest listening figures behind Ferrari. Where does that put Dale and O'Brien and the others then? Oh....sorry....I didn't realise....he had one of the two best slots on the network.....silly me.
