Yes I know this but looked for an easy proposition the point is that the energy secretary carries out the will of the government- he’s not acting in his own interests. starmer’s answers just stunk of hiding behind legal speak. PMQ is a waste of time now the questions are generally poor and there are almost no answers provided
-
Listening to Starmer saying that he can’t change policy on North Sea drilling because it’s the responsibility of the energy secretary is confusing me. surely the policy of the govt is a decision of the cabinet rather than just the minister ?? on that basis the defence secretary could take us into war ???
-
So we believe the Iranian regime ??? both sides are likely telling untruths.

Depends if the words have more than one syllable……

Or he’s realised that his marines won’t be in place in time to align with the end of his deadline. doesn’t help that Iran have come out and claimed they have won a victory on the back of the TS post climbdown. Trump won’t like that.

they will be insured. They were financed privately and the taxpayer should not be expected to contribute to their replacement. (EDIT apparently streeting has committed to paying for this ) I assume it’s top of the front page news in the uk because it’s happened in the uk it won’t be top of the front page in Italy or Greece. There were attacks two weeks ago in Brussels and Amsterdam but they didn’t make the top of the front page in the uk. The attack on the synagogue in the states did. (Until it was clear there wasn’t much news in it and it dropped away) it won’t be front page news by Wednesday. (unless they find the perpetrators or have a lead they want publicising)

I mean there could be a contractual clause that the option reverts to Rennes call if we are relegated.

How many of them would trust ? JJ ? winks ? not many others

Tbf, radio said it was a decent pen but a brilliant save depends how near the corner it was

That was a shock ! second consecutive miss ??

Good continuity with their parent club

Have we reached the point where we’ve acted outside of our national interest by alienating the country that we actually need to protect Western Europe from attack. And if we don’t need the Americans then what was all the arse licking and posturing about for the past year ? is Zelenskyy doing enough on drone assistance to keep trump onside because I fear the lack of assistance from Europe for trump could mean he turns around and says that he cba re Ukraine ?
-
The Everton ruling wording is interesting I wasn’t aware of that but it’s typical premier league ‘corruption’ the clubs vote and the clubs decide nothing will happen but it’s possible that the FA may try and stick their oar in, a regulator certainly would have. (Which is why the PL don’t want that)
-
Different offences we broke psr the sanction for that is a points deduction
-
just listening to the man baby and he’s unhappy with Starmer about minesweepers and that the uk won’t commit to sending any to the gulf. why are we not willing to send vessels to enable international shipping from being able to use international waters ? We did it in the Red Sea.
-
You’re better placed (geographically) than us to make that first judgement. I assume the reason would be a lack of Muslim immigration into Eastern Europe. So the far right in this region retains its primary anti semitic basis. America is interesting - the far right have always been anti semitic. In areas of high Muslim concentration, are the far right more obviously Islamophobic? Is there strong white supremacist grouping in Michigan as opposed to Wyoming ? I think clogger made the point about the facists (and moreso the real facists rather than the wannabe ones) going for the easy Muslim targets before they turn their attention back to their more traditional foes.

I was asked it’s my opinion that’s your opinion ‘Innocent’ those responsible for the killing outside their borders will justify it (especially to themselves) on the basis that it’s targeting those who are not innocent. Those innocents who die are accepted (by them) as the dreadful ‘collateral damage’. I struggle to understand killing many thousands of your own citizens.
-
yes, imo, a country killing its own citizens is worse. That’s not a comment about worth - every innocent life is worth the same as another. pedantically, tens of thousands of Iranians have not been killed at this time. Unless you’re speaking about those who may have died due to sanctions which is not something I’m knowledgeable about.

Thought fitzy rushed his final putt. Or is that just his style ?
-
the supreme leader of the west was quoted on AF1 saying that he asked the British to deploy an aircraft carrier but we declined. This was some time before the first attack. There is no getting away from the fact that some people in our defence ministry/foreign office/govt were found wanting by not having assets at the very least ‘ready to go’. We don’t know where the fault lies. was thinking yesterday evening - the straits of Hormuz are international waters. Surely the Indian /Chinese navies are able to escort their tankers through without being attacked. Similarly the Spanish and any other nations that have specifically prevented the Americans from using their territories.

Fitzpatrick took the bait and hit his drive too well. looks like young took a bit off his drive.
-
I’m wondering if I’ve wandered into another dimension trump is a lot of things but he’s not murdering tens of thousands of his own citizens within a week trying to make a case for the Iranian regime being anything but disgusting murderers is indefensible
-
He’s been a manager for years he won’t have been on a fortune but he’ll be more than comfortable, especially after being a decent level pro for many years. we’ve only offered him a deal till the summer. I guess he might have negotiated a chunky bonus but even then, he doesn’t strike me as the type to throw away his principles for half a million quid (Oxford would have still been paying him 10k/week and he’ll surely not be on more than 25k here).
