Also a decent shout. Mosquera is good there, but better when youโ€™re shutting a game out.

I dunno. Heโ€™s got a lovely touch, decent pass on him, loves a tackle.

If weโ€™d have tried it in a few dead Euro rubbers or a Rumbelows Iโ€™d be half tempted.

My Dad had JPG in the back of his cab once.

He asked him where Pipi & PoPo were and he got a proper sulk on and didnโ€™t tip.

And then he goes back on it and does the complete opposite of what he originally said, ensuring 100% of the people have been annoyed at the whole business.

That is incredibly grim. At least we know what Labour Together get off on now.

The decent people in Labour really need to have a word, because right now most people think youโ€™re complicit in this.

Oh no, donโ€™t think I donโ€™t think the lad has shit for brains, he absolutely does. He has terrible football opinions, and worse social ones, but heโ€™s a technically decent writer.

Basically Iโ€™m saying his sentences parse, essentially Iโ€™m damning him with faint praise.

Ronayโ€™s a decent writer with terrible opinions. At the least I appreciate his consistency in this matter.

I've literally had staff members and volunteers return to the country they fled saying they'd rather take their chances anywhere other than here.

So grim. I'm with you.

Blimey, I had know idea you were involved. I run a migrant support org.

Been doing it eight years and this is the worst I can ever remember it being.

That'd be my solution too, though all these things are a bit undermined by the fact we're at the business end and nothing has been tried out yet.

Let's be honest, they're just getting carried away by the cruelty now.

Not a single thought to the lives they're wrecking.

Richard Hanania's not really followed through this line of thought.

Not entirely sure you should be tempting people like this, it might give them ideas.
