Good. To come out of the summer with someone of the calibre of Potter is unexpected and welcome.

They could start by ensuring council housing is of a decent well-maintained standard, especially if they are going to house asylum seekers in nearby hotels. For most of us, the idea of living in a bog standard UK hotel more than a week or two is not attractive. How shit does your accommodation have to be to think this is a luxury? I suppose my point is there are lots of low hanging fruit for Farage and co, so the Conservatives have only themselves to blame.

Americans are like anyone else, there are smart ones and thick ones. Top suggest they are all thick is not right. That said it quite possible to be a successful professional in the US without having much awareness of anything outside America. the US population is after all around half that of the whole of Europe.

It think it is important to understand what happens if you actively push back people on small boats, or indeed remove people from the shore and dump them back at sea. We don't do this, in fact the RNLI and others pick up those who are struggling at sea. If you rightly don't do this though, you need another way of demonstrating that those who do not have a proper case for asylum (including the many thousands of fit healthy young men looking for work) will be removed. This is important whether you think so becuase "too many immigrants innit" or becuase people are drowning on shit boats. Its very difficult, and hence why Rwanda came about, ridiculous as it seems to be sending people so far away.

Personally I think if the ball hits your hand and you benefit, it should be a handball.

It’s just possible that maybe not ignoring the needs of the people of Clacton would help.

I once got charged by a cow. It had just given birth to a calf and I was walking through it's field, so fiar enough. It had already chased a teacher into a river leaving a bunch of schoolkids stranded in a lane. I can tell you that half a ton of cow running at you is quite alarming and indeed Cows kill poeple in the UK each year, so I would be quite happy for the police to try to remove it safely.

Starmer is not hanging out is he? Look at him, he looks about as relaxed as me in a flat roof pub.

See the TV screen behind them ? There is another one like that directly in front of them behind the one facing sideways.

I wouldn't say he is lying, but he is omitting certain facts. If they want to actually change something they are going to need cash, so they will have to increase taxes somewhere beyond those they already mentioned. I do think they manifesto is deliberately non ambitious, and once in power they will push to do more and tax more to get there.

I don't mind the country being protective of animals, I think it is a good thing.

While this is true, it comes from a long history of violence between the police and young black men. The same is not true between the Feltham police and cows. Unless I missed something.

Those who feel they are morally superior and really good at being *****. People who cannot even spell Israeli should probably stay off the internet.

He may have wanted to start in the summer, or not fancied the project, or been locked into his Chelsea contract until a set date. Or he might have an unreasonably high opinion of himself.

I went into a community pub once, it had a flat roof and everything.

Or Foden isn't half the player for England that he is for Man City. Some players just don't work as well in a different environment. He has literally played nowhere else has he? No loans etc.

There are no nations taking part. Only clubs.

I am thinking if you hadn't sworn the first time they wouldn't have put you on the lets wind this guy up naughty list. Seriously though I would be putting in an FOI request to find out what is going on.

Cool. Who names these events though? Sellers on Aliexpress? Its not Womens International Football FFS.

I suppose it beats being hit by a fast moving car. Tricky buggers cows. Edit, oh no it was a fast moving car. I had imagined them nudging into it. Poor thing. Jesus. I swa a few posts saying "would they do this to a dog"? No they shoot dogs they can't control. Also they knock thieves off scooters. The calf on the other hand was no doubt terrified.

The world would be a better place without either Hamas or Hezbollah that is for sure. Hopefully the fact that they don't have the tunnel infrastructure means any Northern war would be shorter and less bloody. I do find it desperately sad that Hamas spent all this time and money building a tunnel network and arming themselves when they could have built a country from the base they inherited when the IDF left Gaza. What a waste.

Power with Principles can be worst of all if those principles are not the right ones.

Never watch ITV in general.

Takes me back to the opening game against Brazil in the 1998 WC which I watched in a pub in Edinburgh. Early Brazil Goal didn't quell the Awesome atmosphere and after Collins scored it went mental.
