Had enough of X and the person I'd become on there. Hoping to be calmer and less sweary on here. Newport County, Wales, politics, health, sport, music. Willing to pontificate on anything. More intolerant as I age. Ex-Nurse.

And the 'patriots' were probably too busy running away as fast as possible...
If anyone dares to ask you “why do we let THEM in?”, remind those asking that the vast majority of THEM are regular folk like you & me, & that the actions like this of people like THEM have highly likely prevented many more fatalities at Bondi Beach.

The EBU bending the regulations and ignoring a genocide isn't going away. I wonder whether other countries may yet withdraw before next year's competition takes place...

Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future
Livery for renationalised railway features red, white and blue alongside familiar double arrow symbol
No matter how much train fares cost under Great British Railways, no one can accuse the government of wasting money on an expensive redesign.
The logo, branding and livery for the impending renationalised and reformed railway will be unveiled by ministers at London Bridge on Tuesday. It is red, white and, yes, blue. Continue reading...

My wife Bunty & I had the privilege of visiting Nigel Farage in his campaign office during the last election.
He was so lovely & allowed Bunters to take a photo of him (shown below).
There was absolutely no hint of him exceeding electoral expenses & being involved in fraud.

FIFA have essentially politicised football. Unequivocably. Therefore, they have completely lost all rights to sanction any individual player for political protest or display of allegiance on the pitch.

Words fail me. Apparently taking 'donations' from a criminal doesn't finish your career, but gives you room at a bigger trough to stick your snout in. UK politics is a sewer. Proper 'change' is long overdue. PR, federal governments in England, independence for Scot, Wales and NI would be a start
Keir Starmer's planning to make former First Minister Vaughan Gething a Lord according to The Times.
Mr Gething was FM for 4 months.
His time as leader was overshadowed by a controversial £200k donation to his leadership campaign.
He stepped down after 4 ministers resigned.

Hopefully the BBC will follow suit. It's the same rule as when Russia was banned from participation. Israel should have been banned two years ago.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

The problem is that the six that we've had have been absolute cack. So perhaps if we had a decent PM, it may make a difference. But probably not. We need to dismantle the current system and build back better. Start with PR, federal governments in England and Independence for Scotland, Wales, NI
If you think a seventh prime minister in ten years will magically solve the structural problems, deep malaise and febrile atmosphere caused by austerity, Brexit and social media, you're a fundamentally unserious person.
