Good shout. I also think that unlike many “naturally” skilled players (Cooper, Cips, Henson etc) his game has improved considerably over his career. That takes a lot of hard work and he should be credited it for it. Instead it gets overlooked became of the Mars bars

Weirdly that aspect of the game reminds me of Glen Jackson a bit. About the same size, also know for his hands, would also surprise everyone when he occasionally just looked up and ran through his opposite number.

The past 200 years of Catholic Emancipation have clearly been a mistake, I’m sure Mr Tomlinson would understand, given his deep respect for our cultural history, if we barred him from public life.

But why even then, for Wexner and Black? These are common enough vices for rich old men, I’m sure, why spend millions/ hundred of millions?

I think in this case she doesn’t want to think about herself clearly. Not out of moral guilt but because in clear light her actions have been tawdry and small. And one casts outward desperately for Big Meaning

Yes. This is correct. It has not been about politics for a long time. It is about morals, and it should be judged as such.

I think at the very least, inflation needs to be taught somewhere/ somehow. If you understand that £10k 10 years ago is now circa £6.3k had you left it in cash, people will work it out from there once they are ready. (Equivalent in global index in that time, about 30k)

Yes, it genuinely is a case of two countries divided by a common language. If Americans spoke any other language, it would be much easier for Brits to perceive how different they actually are - culturally and politically.

Eesh. Add in inflation and that’s what, effectively a 25ish decline in value of Prem tv right?

“One had indeed personally to come under the shadow of war to feel fully it’s oppression; but as the years go by it seems now often forgotten that to be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than to be involved in 1939…By 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.” JRRT

There is a massive issue with subbing at the BBC generally, particularly on areas they clearly care less about (Rugby Union etc). You’d think at least for the Politics stuff though some care might be applied!

Agree. Didn’t mind the old Conan-y ones but these make a lot more sense thematically!

I would add that the Kings also (largely) learned a lesson from that - it’s generally not great for their career prospects to horde all the ways you can get blamed…

Yes! hopefully would also mean less models that have spent weeks painting getting killed on turn one every game, and open the door to more troop types being effective. E.g ultra elite could still have ability to go squad by squad in some circumstance but guard etc would be very much mass firepower

In 40k, to speed it up and add a tactical layer I would love to playtest (a) all attacks allocated at start of turn, then all resolved simultaneously (b) initiative or leadership test required to shoot at anything other than nearest enemy unit

That the diaspora minister would have the temerity, at this moment above all, tells you everything you could possibly want to know about the bottomless cynicism of the Likudniks.

This VDV cosplay would have made a bit more sense a few years ago, before they got themselves all killed by the Kyiv 103rd Accountants brigade etc

He was very strange as undergrad by all accounts. Media ecosystem has a lot to answer for. Old Tel blog editors used to think he was mad, we’re amazed/ horrified by the clicks he got. Now the whole Tel Opinion section reads like him

Nowhere near 1.5 million. Much smaller than the Gaza and anti-Brexit marches. Been in London all day, large parts of it you wouldn’t even know a march was happening
