Honestly, she has always done my head in but she has got worse. She was trying to justify Farage schoolboy fascism by saying “we all do stupid things when we’re young”. Yes but that’s usually drink and drugs bot Hitler Youth songs and jokes to Jewish kids about gas chambers. Appalling

The same rubes who think Donald Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war are the same rubes who think Donald Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run an economy.

This is what Trump Derangement Syndrome truly looks like.

Elements of the British press really do have a colossal boner for the idea of following demented Donald and his band of bloodthirsty, genocidal freaks into an illegal and unjustified war. It’s insane on so many levels, not least because said war is hugely unpopular (and rightly so)

So “corrupt crooks join party of corrupt crooks” basically. Probably well suited to the party of grifters, charlatans and swivel-eyed loons

100%. He barely cares about his kids, if at all, and we know what Melania thinks about him (though she is just as bad in other ways)

There’s a definite order to things he cares about:
1. Himself and doing whatever he pleases whenever he pleases, however criminal or repulsive
2. His bank balance
3. His family’s bank balances
4. His donors’ bank balances
5. Retaining power as long as possible so he can keep focusing on the above

My brother’s mother in law. That and the Telegraph have fully radicalised her (she was previously a more one nation type Tory). You can imagine the “fun”my brother had trying to keep me and her from killing each other on Christmas Day 😂 I tried to ignore her sniping but eventually lost it

It was to be fair. Can’t grumble
on that score. Surprised England got as close as they did even if the pitch was a road

Ridiculous that Sanju Samson won MOTM in that #T20 semi-final - what made the difference on a road / insanely high scoring match was the bowling of Bumrah. Plus someone else in the match actually got a century in tougher circumstances albeit in a losing cause

Kemi Badenoch: “That’s not the question I asked. I don’t care about stranded Brits, I just want to grandstand and try and blame military cuts on anyone other than the government I served in while making it obvious that I would follow Donald Trump to hell and pay for the privilege”

Even if they did (suspend your disbelief), who could blame them? Goodwhinge was spouting appalling rhetoric about how they aren’t British (even though they clearly are) and should be deported. He was lucky to get away with a staring!

He’s such a aelf-absorbed cretin. If he was genuinely serious about being elected, he’d need to be less of an obnoxious arse with repulsive views - views that alienate all bar the most radicalised racist bigots and permanently online nutters. Zero surprise that the electorate said “no, thanks!”

Oh yeah, fun game. I don’t need the tv coverage to look like it though. Bah humbug!

Speaking of the TV coverage of this tournament, they’ve really made it look like a video game with graphics like the pointless “skill scale”. It’s like stick cricket with humans

It’s also helpful for relegated teams - they can start slowly, scrape seventh or eighth after a run in the spring, and stroll through the play-offs

It’s a start. They may tweak it in future. Reminds me of the Rugby League Super League play-offs in structure (except there are no two-leg ties in that). That can go both ways - ie teams with the rest week either benefit from the rest or lose all momentum

The ICC television coverage of any games involving India is hilariously one-eyed. The build up barely mentions who they are playing. Looks like England today you’d never know from the coverage

In “selfish wealthy tools not reading the room” news, the most predictable story ever. I hope they get clobbered by HMRC

Well, the extra round looks like it is structured like that - ie teams 5 to 8 play one knock out game at the home ground of the highest placed team (5 v 8, 6 v 7) before the two-leg semis. Time basically the national league play off format I think

Quote from the FT article: the rich “really value the ability to move and work wherever they want, when they want”

How predictable. This quote made me laugh. The rich still have the “ability to move and work wherever they want”, what they really value is paying zero tax and contributing sod all - unlike the rest of us. Selfish parasites who often expect us, via government contracts, to subside them

He’ll probably also play street cricket and take in an IPL game

No surprise from that colossal whopper Ant Middleton, one of the worst specimens the UK has produced in recent times. With all of his SAS training he can just sod off into the desert and bunker down in a hole in the ground for a bit, presumably while clutching suitcases full of his untaxed wealth

It is heartening to see. I’ve heard two interviewees with Dubai-based Brits today - one said “me, my uk based dad and my partner think we are still safer here than we would be in the UK”. Really? The other claimed he did in fact pay tax in the UK… why go then?

Bit harsh - they appear to have solid plans to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else

He could use all that commercial property he owns - the offices nobody needs any more because more people are happier working from home. You know, the root of Reform Ltd’s obsession with getting people back into offices

Quote from the Guardian interview with Pete Tong“…. Tong appeared to avoid the hedonistic excesses of DJ life”.

He “appeared to avoid the hedonistic excesses of DJ life”. This does not tally with the umpteen stories I have heard over the years about his alleged fondness for, ahem, certain things

And in the case of the KLF, fire blanks above the heads of audience members using an antique machine gun… while also performing a thrash metal cover of a dance-pop hit 😂

It reminded me a bit of our home game v Bristol City under JHT - they outplayed us, kept winning the ball back in midfield and ended up winning 2-0 (at least that’s how I remember it). I was disappointed of course but their tactics and execution were excellent - as ours were yesterday

Oh yeah. I get being grumpy and sore that they lost, but even the most one-eyed Foxes fan would look at that game and think their side was outplayed and be annoyed about that, rather than this laughable nonsense.

Wowsers. Not sure how anyone could watch that game and say that NCFC were “jammy” 🤣 Leicester had one shot on target from memory and offered next to nothing. Trump/Farage levels of sore loser delusion!
