It remains staggering that the Commander in Chief is held to a far lower standard, if any standard, than teenage reservists when it comes to national security. Without doubt the fat orange rapist should be in jail, and for any number of reasons. But he may instead return to the Oval Office and we're...

Re: What's going on in Ukraine?

How do Ukraine regain the initiative here? Russia seems to be able to absorb horrendous losses without keep and nothing seems to be giving on their side. That would be down to us in the west. But we're still not that serious about supplying weapons, we're a long way from really cutting down on Russ...

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread

May was fantastic when he still had express pace and I think being thick as mince (allegedly) might have helped: if he didn't know where was running, nor did the defenders. Could score tries out of nowhere, rather like Robinson, albeit in a different style. Remember 2 he scored against France, beat...
