It is telling that most Brits still seem to think immigration is still something that happens to us, not something millions of Brits themselves do, and that voting to reduce it may actually blow back in their own faces. Strange when you consider Anglos spread around the world more than almost any other tribe in history.

Currently going through the visa process to go and live in Europe because we took back control and people are still losing their minds over immigration. What an unbelievable **** up and complete waste.

On a human level of course it's difficult not to have a teeny bit of sympathy for the bloke but as above he will have known what he was getting himself in to

Ahh Beacon Bitter. So good. Not produced any more I don't think.

Badenoch is so painfully bad. Real second hand embarrassment watching her.

Horsfield and Andy Johnson iirc. 06/07 has to be our worst ever team.

Too funny. Please let them keep him

I mean Teresa May was anti immigration. Johnson was always quite vocally pro immigration. Oh and he made it treble, not double
-
Should've kept May eh? One of the most anti immigration politicians in our history, but not brexity enough for the loons...

Sounds a bit like 'project fear'

I remember "leaving the EU will neutralise the far right"

I actually quite like it and watch a bit and yes Americans over intellectualize it to an absurd degree. Like it really doesn't take much to remember which lineman to stand in the way of or which direction of the field to run to to catch a pass. Come on now. -
Had his faults as an owner and business man to put it mildly. But was a real football guy and the Pearson 1 & Sven era was great fun. Goes without saying he played a part in our rise.

True, many of us lack the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate 350 pound men giving each other CTE in 10 second bursts interspersed with 3 hours of adverts. -

I would say it's precisely this that makes it unpopular -

I have a very good knowledge of American football and still think it's insanely drawn out and very often quite dull. Also if you're saying that a rolling highlights show is better than a full game you're kind of proving my point. -

Have to say I really like TDF and Giro d'Italia. Nice way to spend an evening watching highlights of people cycling very fast through some bucolic countryside. -
There's so much low hanging fruit in Britain, so many easy wins for the government. Small, simple things that would make people feel a little more like they live in a relatively prosperous and pleasant society. Other countries with economies much smaller than ours manage to do it.

One of the reasons I think is because our urban areas have become so grim. Shitty pavements, litter everywhere, poor housing. Haven't been to many places west or east Europe that are worse. Gives the impression of a failed state. In general though yes the state still works better here than in many places but there is a general feeling of everything getting slowly worse.

I don't hate American football but I refuse to believe anyone truly enjoys something that lasts that long for so little action. Really pushing the boundaries of the meaning of the word 'sport' -
Maybe put stuff like that in the cvnts thread so I can avoid reading it. Incredibly disturbing.

For all of the hype, Champions League is probably the most purely entertaining tournament in sport. Helps that I very rarely care who wins. -

World cup final isn't always a great game and the tournament has been ruined to some extent but it's still the true global sporting event. There's really nothing else in the world I think that has its power.
