As most Palace fans will confirm (myself included) Jordan was and remains an absolute bellend.

I’m old enough to remember the 1980s rebel cricket tours during South Africa’s apartheid era and similar justifications being used - it was BS then and hasn’t changed. It was just about the money…

Yes I would concur. Highly unlikely to end well.

I feel like I should give her a plug now :-) If you’re in or around mid-Sussex: www.limepalmproductions.com

She teaches a lot of kids with mental health issues (including some that start as non-verbal). It helps that her business partner is a former teacher and SENCO. The changes she sees in these kids is nothing short of spectacular - to see them confident enough to sing and perform is amazing

I will - She is a remarkable women my wife. I am constantly in awe of what she has achieved (I just sit here mucking about with laptops and worrying about cybersecurity :-) )

Also remember that those ‘useless’ exams and medals that silly arts organisations like www.lamda.ac.uk provide for young people earn UCAS points and may make the difference between getting into uni in the first place.

With the notable exception of John Major who did a fair bit to help, but yes, they have in general looked on with disdain.

I’ll be sure to let my wife know that her drama degree was a rip off and in no way led her to a successful career in West End theatre production or allowed her to then start her own drama & youth theatre production company, survive Covid, employ 3 people and teach hundreds of children…

I wonder how that is calculated - to my knowledge there have only been 4 mass shootings (involving the public) in the UK (outside of incidents involving criminals or gangs) since 1950

They did a good job at showing up all the pundits who were saying Big club must buy X for obscene amounts to win trophies and Glasner has done it with a squad assembled for considerably less than Liverpool’s bench.

This is the point most miss. The first step is to access the phone and get into banking apps - if they can’t get in then the phone gets sold. So enable the stolen phone protection that most modern phones have. Use an e-sim to prevent physical sim swap attacks. Use Face ID for all important apps.

I find these articles so frustrating especially with the undertone of: gosh we’ve realised this may not just be an IT problem. If I had a pound for every time I’ve had that conversation over the last 20-odd years….

Probably about the same percentage that have proper monitoring of their networks….

I think it was Everton who were the last team to beat us at Selhurst Park as well (same score too).

So true. Can’t help thinking that jail is not what she needs. My wife suffered PND and it was horrific. We had another close friend who contemplated suicide when suffering from PND (that was after putting her hand through a window). We are far from alone in stories such as this.

Some of us do recognise what you have been saying & it is echoed throughout the industry. Years (decades) of being ignored or dismissed as alarmist or using FUD to sell stuff have taken their toll. My sympathy for JLR is limited (although not their supply chain) as they took the easy (cheap) option.
