Bulgaria. It's ok, better than Italy. But very much 'don't call us we'll call you' when you apply for something like a passport etc...

Huth has to be the most important. Maybe the most consequential loan signing in our history.

I was sceptical until I saw this still image from Epstein's island, recently made public

Name sounds like a drunk Brit trying to compliment the chef in a Corfu restaurant

Landlords get scarier the further north of Watford you get. Once you get to Glasgow they are positively terrifying.

It's either AI generated or it's come from another language and they haven't changed those letters. There is no reason to put 'S' next to champions.

Obviously this is disappointing but I feel that if the club were organising something a lot of people on here would say it was a cynical plot to distract from the current shambles.

Baby looks as surprised as they are! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/02/florida-fertility-clinic-embryo-lawsuit

Caring about everything all the time all around the world is exhausting though and maybe one of the reasons so many people these days are burned out and apathetic to many of the world's problems. Probably better when we didn't know much about what was happening outside our own communities.

I mean we had mass protests here when a guy was killed by a policeman in America so obviously there are people in England who care very deeply about stuff that doesn't affect them in the slightest.

Because every time something like this happens now people need to point out it's not their tribe doing it

I assume you're talking about Pakistani grooming gangs, which obviously operate more in those places of increased ethnic tensions than Epstein does. I imagine if Epstein, Andrew et al were grooming girls on a large scale in a post-industrial town in Yorkshire, people would be protesting. You have a point about Farage and his friendship with Trump I suppose, but it's a more general one. Also the notion that Farage doesn't complain about 'white' people is quite a funny one, considering how he built his career. I guess people generally care more about stuff that directly affects them and their families, which might not be right but is kind of understandable.

"Hits different" being used for the most mundane things ever. "Pint on the way back home from work on Wednesday hits different" well not really. Or King's Lynn FC social media posting "Tuesday night at the Walks hits different" which I'm hoping is ironic but then again probably not.

If you want a palate cleanser after all that toxicity and torrid emotion, I'd suggest Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Very heartwarming and uplifting!

Don't disagree and I can't really get over these people consistently voting to make others as miserable and soulless as they are. So while I sympathise a lot with the concerns over immigration and cultural change, I'm also kind of happy for them to stew in the vat of red-faced, vein-popping rage of their own creation.

Having just had a child with a non Brit, and trying to move to abroad, we've been coming into contact a lot with both British state bureaucracy and that of the mother's home country. It is quite surprising as you say how smooth and easy the process of obtaining stuff from the British state is. Unfortunately it feels like our elected officials are always threatening to make these processes more complicated and unsuccessful to win votes from a section of our society.

Vardy's game today appears to be live on Talksport youtube.

If those are the only two options to the UK at the moment then there are alternative socioeconomic models we can follow. After all there are many countries around the world that have neither. I think it's Anglocentrism to claim that we have to continue on the same path we have done for the last few decades because that's just the way things are.

I actually think kind of the opposite - one of the reasons everything is ****ed is because people think the past is stupid and backward and we can't learn anything from it. And that anybody with reservations about the present direction is labelled as nostalgic or regressive. But I feel we're not going to agree on this.

Most European towns are not full of vape shops and nail bars.

Also find it interesting how many 'everything is ****ed' guys are also quite sceptical of voters being motivated by nostalgia, as if it's ok to think things are crap now but only if you accept certain things are crap and not others.

I think it's pretty obvious that people who are 'nostalgic' for the past are unhappy with demographic and cultural change. Nothing particularly surprising or controversial about that.

Only one man can save us, time to recall Faes

The weird thing about Farage is how little he is held accountable for the big thing we're not allowed to talk about, which I can only assume is because our media class is all terribly embarrassed that it happened and that many of them supported it.
