Vlaky jsou dnes levnější, lepší a rychlejší než kdysi. Jediné, co se nezměnilo, je to, jak často na ně nadáváme
V magazínu Deníku N vás v rubrice Tehdy a teď pravidelně seznamujeme s věcmi, jevy a událostmi, které se během jediného lidského života změnily k nepoznání. Dnes se svezeme vlakem.

You will notice Israel isn't in it.
So why are they in UEFA?
They should be in UAFA with all the other Middle Eastern teams.

Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from.
I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR."
It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
