One could look at that late Saints score and simply consider it's a two man tackle that doesn't stop the ball getting offloaded, and so you'd want a word with two players wasting resources in defence, addressing that which you can control. Or you could blame the ref.

I'd be a big fan of RHCP, but actually that All Saints cover didn't piss me off, and in advance I'd have expected it to

It looks like a dual strategy to me. Something closer to what you're saying around farmers for the MAGA masses, "people are killed" is easy to understand, he's turned the Oval Office into a TV show. That doesn't look like everything that's going on, the sanctions bill in Congress (a review of the ...

Covid alone estimated to be £500b pa, longer term mental health and industry structure effects still being analysed and realised.

Well after today’s agreement , Brexit doesn’t really make much difference now to anything - handy scapegoat for every economic effect for those with an agenda who can’t / won’t blame such things like Putin , Trump or Covid

Nah, all that stuff was just mentioned so that leave voters would feel they didn’t fit the ‘thick and racist’ agenda being constantly hurled at them by remainers.

That does seem a little off, thick and/or racist would be much fairer

In advance this might be quite smart from Labour on the politics front.

You might not like a ref's performance, or even a certain ref, but that sort of language and indeed thinking feels just wrong. They're doing their best, feel free to do better, or to encourage others to pursue a path into match officiating and try/hope to raise standards that way.
