UK tourism to America must be done. I wouldn't go if I got a holiday for free.

Steve Clarke is done, Derek. He's making no impact on team performance in defence or attack. There's enough evidence that qualification successes were in spite of the manager, and not due to him. Best crop of players in decades. Wasted. McGinn being selected on performances from 3 years ago.

Well, with Robbie Gibb of the shameful Jewish Chronicle in the thick of it at the BBC, I'm not sure he'd necessarily see this as a bad thing.

I don't understand why his lawyers who are openly defying supreme court instruction, are not subject to "fitness to practice" proceedings by law profession bodies in USA.

Agreed David. It's rats in a sack and it makes for real drama.

Surely we know where we are with Reform? Unaffordable everything and mainstream parties failing make meaningful change to anything, leaves ostracised population leaning into unchecked immigration as a cure. Got it? That's really all it is. Nothing else.

Politicians don't come close to inflicting damage in the way banks do. Do a fag packet calculation of how much money is extracted from the British economy to pay bank salaries, bonuses, dividends and running costs to sustain an ecosystem that exists to facilitate business and commerce. A scandal.

No politician has come remotely close to the damage the financial services industry does to this country. Billions re-directed to the pockets of bankers for an industry that is supposed to facilitate business and commerce.

AI photo generating will kill us all, enabled by politicians who stand by and allow it to happen. Easily cured by forcing any created image to carry a visible 'marker' confirming authenticity or otherwise.

Sounds like a robust push-back from the chair, here. A whimpering charlatan, paid to oversee the BBC funeral arrangements.

Banks are a curse on us all. The grip they have on every aspect of our lives is suffocating, as they extract billions in operating costs, profits and bonuses that would otherwise facilitate a flourishing business environment. They have become bigger than the businesses they are expected to assist.

America was already hated before these gangsters from hell came along. All you can say is you reap what you sow. This won't end well, in the country borne of a gun.

If the world was to end in 24 hours from now, these tossers would still find time to award each other millions of pounds in salary and bonuses.

Steve, these exchanges will be watched for decades to come. Threatening, intense with a hint of pantomime. Bravo.

Why must everything be burned to the ground? Why not raise the bar for everybody? UK may be sinking, but this is not how you fix it. By eroding institutions available to all. And that means you. Go and become an MP. I'll vote for you if I can.

None of this happens without the acquiescence of banks. None of it. The monetisation of everything, facilitated by billion dollar loans.

It's the most insipid, craven performance you'll ever see. 60 minutes in and not a shot on target. Hopeless on retaining possession. Let's no even talk about Hatate.
