The replies to this post, even on here, even moreso on X, are so depressing to me. We live in a world where cities have never been safer and a minority of people are denying themselves a lot of delightful experiences because they’ve gone mad online.

Surely this would be better with Chinook helicopters rather than c130 Hercules?

In 1977 we didn’t even have a TV with remote controls! Voyager is the size of a VW van and if you start thinking about it being parked in Australia and trying to get a signal to it and then multiply that distance by 100million - and your brain melts!

This is part of the massive Russian campaign of disinformation across Europe. Russian bot farms want right wing governments and to portray the left and centre left as losing control. Sadly many many people are idiots.

But of course the BBC and Laura K want this. They relish turmoil and chaos- it literally pays their wages. We should move parliament out of London to Manchester or Birmingham and this would reset media and newspapers too as there’s nothing to feed off.

An actual tragedy is playing out in real time on the pages of the Telegraph.

If you are the praying kind then please pray for them.

Sunderland using their usual pack the defence and hit on the break tactics there. Possibly more than 13 players, and definitely utilizing the false 9!
