The season is disjointed and unfair to the lower ranked players.

What should happen is:

Qualifying held in the HOST country immediately prior to the main rounds.

Flat draws as standard

An even spread of OPEN ranking events

Mark Selby saying there are still a lot of tournaments until the world championship when meanwhile I'm watching Iulian Boiko who if he loses, won't play any further match until the world championship. 😨

Famously, in 1985, the Hurricane & the Whirlwind failed to qualify to defend their Hofmeister World Doubles title.

Not so Scott & Fox who will look to defend their 2024 6 Reds DOUBLES triumph.

No thanks. The Ryder Cup is special party because if it’s history.

Snooker should have a 3-player World Cup thou, for national teams.

The stats don’t lie.

The Beeb is complicit in broadcasting in a way that’s entirely unbalanced.

And Mason, as editor, should be held to account.

Mason was supposed (I think) to be talking about the conference BUT more than half the interview was Mason's faux anger and questions about RefUK ... and he claims there's no bias 🤷

The BBC then had to state after the interview that they are impartial. Deary deary me!

Chris Mason #bbc getting very shirty with Ed Davey challenging the BBC on giving too much airtime to Reform. If only he brought that level of energy to scrutinising Farage. Mason coming across as petty and vindictive.

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.
