What is the world coming to when we have to speculate on how the Governor of South Dakota slaughters puppies and goats, why can't we just take her at her word and let that be an end of it?

I did wonder on 'THIS IS Milton Keynes!'

One has a feeling we're not in Kent anymore

The Tories’ poisonous anti-culture politics has crushed the arts. Bring on election night Polly Toynbee https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/26/tory-cuts-anti-culture-election-night-labour And these absolute bellends don't realise how important arts and culture is to regeneration.

I don't think the EU would push for the €, or at least if they did they'd simply be saying we don't want you back (for now), because that's just the stuff of fantasy getting that past anything like the current electorate, I might not vote for that (I might, it's just far from certain in advance) an...

If you know a way to make an alcoholic quit, I'm sure you'll find an eager & attentive audience ?? You can't force someone who believed in the Brexit bullshit to wipe the scales from their eyes & acknowledge they were duped; they have to work it out in their own. The problem is that it's bl...

Especially O'Brien. Constantly furious, without ever advancing any solutions.

You could tell him he does then have something in common with Brexit supporters

If people don't want the English, and they very recently had a chance to say thanks but no thanks, then fair enough. But we are at least in Europe and don't present as an absurd travel requirement. Who in their right mind wouldn't want an away trip to Gloucester. If there's one team in England who ...

If people following the URC like the URC that's great, but an African teams have no business in a European event, and worse it's not even a North African set of sides so the travel is way too much (even before one considers climate change and that flights should be discouraged)

Someone else is welcome to all those 'good parts'. We're all about the giving in Europe

If you go a really long way back can you confirm at some point gouging wasn't allowed?

There is no way this wasn't known in relevant circles, not perhaps by everyone, but the numbers who did and didn't act assuming others must/might be or pretended they didn't know would be along a similar line of defence being used by various Post Office managers. It stinks. But also, over to Exeter...

I thought he couldn’t cash out for 6 months this is the stock bonus, what he's due in another 15 days or so just for being him. Well it's now fallen below $25, from ~$50 at the start of the month, that's an an average of a couple of dollars a day loss, & the decline is nice an linear, so in 15 ...

His Trump stock needs to fall much, much further in value to deny him what would still be a huge payout, indeed he's probably already safe. The terms of his upcoming stock bonus are nuts, it's almost like it's written with him not the company/shareholders in mind. I thought he couldn’t cash out for...

Are you saying it should be full of anti League rhetoric?

It could be an opportunity for people to come together, and do both

So labelling the entire faith for the actions of a subset of that faith is ok? I'm sure there's a name for that. If it's around having a belief in a sky wizard it doesn't seem unreasonable, as opposed to a belief in a sky wizard (or indeed sky fairy if that's your thing) which seems odd and then so...

In a few days time he'll get the option to take a $1 billion or so stock bonus out of Trump Media & Tech Group. He could of course turn that down citing the basis for the issuing of the bonus is ludicrously weak, reflects no value for shareholders following the public launch of DJT, and actually...

Private provision does not by definition take funding out of the system. It has to - any surplus that could be re-invested into the system is taken out as profit. It also takes resources out of the public system, staff, even facilities now. That one cold argue as to whether it's a good thing on bal...

One of the comments nails this… he’s bringing the darkness but thankfully it’s only momentary. https://twitter.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1777187345374322904 I’d forgotten about that Covid video he made when he left hospital which is genuinely the maddest thing I’ve seen in politics Was that the ne...

Well, at least it's Richard Strauss not Wagner

Such a dull non-story. This is why the UK is so shit - big issues are made out of minor stuff and large scale fraudulent stuff committed by our elite is just brushed away. Just constant distraction. This will be a pitiful gain compared to the tax avoided by our non-domiciled elite like the owner of...

So it begins. Privatize the profits & Nationalize the debts https://www.ft.com/content/58834a3a-8754-41b9-bd40-938e62fd662c More a continuation than a beginning. I'd say it's a disgrace they were ever allowed to rack up such debt, and to rack up debt paying out bonuses and dividends not even on...

An individual can be fined for GDPR breach, but what is more likely is that they will sue him in tort It'll come as no surprise that, rather than being hauled over the coals for his rank stupidity and the illegality of his actions, the Tory machine is trying to present him as some sort of hero. &qu...

Been for my money the best lock going over the last decade. Like a bigger (and slightly angrier) version of Richard Hill, just an outstanding consistency in decision making and execution

All for the sake of a dick pic or two. What an absolute twat!!!! A senior Conservative MP has reportedly admitted to giving out the personal phone numbers of colleagues to a person he met on a dating app. William Wragg told the Times that he gave the information after he had sent intimate pictures ...

All news is local and we have a responsibility to our own citizens, so when Israel starts murdering our citizens it is naturally a bigger thing to us (which is distinct from it being a bigger thing)

Interesting to see what happens next with Smith and Cannon. Smith has really stuck two fingers up to the judge, and that's unusual, but it's probably needed else the whole thing may get canned by Cannon

One of the former prosecutors has pointed out that threatening the President is a criminal offense, so by posting the video of Biden hog tied in the back of a pickup, the Traitor, it can be argued, has violated the terms of his bond in DC & Georgia, as well as NY, by committing a criminal offen...

During 2003 World Cup England sent on a sub for injured player who was still on the field without permission of forth official, the only similar situation I can remember. Options were England to be deducted points or even thrown out of the tournament but somehow the end result was a fine, and a tou...

Quins do have form when it comes to illegally returning a player to the field

Broken bone I believe, at least that's what I've read. Worse then; to be honest that number 8 is chunky. She got 6 weeks, reduced to 3, wonder if they will put Poppy Cleal in. 6 weeks for an illegal act that's leaves the opponent with all the risk and this time a horrible injury is very lenient, or...

The clubs and unions need to stop spending such a high % of revenues on wages. They're refusing to follow a sensible business model and then object to not having enough money.

Preliminary loss reserves by insurers are in excess of $3bn… 😳 I bet it hits many more times that once the yank courts bend Maersk over BP style. Every resident of Baltimore and the surrounding area will claim compensation for loss and inconvenience. Oil & Gas companies tend to self-insure, shi...

I'm in favour of someone who has difficulty raising the funds without incurring harm being allowed to appeal, that holds even if I don't like Trump. The law at times works to protect the worst so it can protect the best, it's just how it needs to be. Even if in many other instances the law is badly...

So much for justice being blind, & equal for all ! "Sorry Judge, I've already spent $300 million of the $450 million I stole, so how about I give you the 150 back while my appeal is pending, because I'm definitely going to give you the rest if my appeal fails" :roll: I really don't mi...
