    The article appears to be a critical one about far right groups in the US, run/funded by far right Israelis, supporting a far right racist. Not sure how that means that "Israelis" are therefore far right.

    75 | Nico O'Reilly - 2024/25

    Competitive debut. Most inexperienced player on the pitch, in a makeshift City team. Up against a United team full of experience, and almost at full strength. Clearly not the best player out there, but he played pretty well, and showed off quite a few nice touches. I think he'll be delighted...

    Middle East Conflict

    By asking us to define Zionism, aren't you trying to nail a jelly to a wall? With so much painful history, conflict, hatred, pride, abuse, and more, defining people's views and understanding of the word, it's impossible to define. Sure - you can look it up in a dictionary, or research it's...

    Alvarez replacement thread

    With Savio coming in, and Oscar Bobb looking so good, we should have more attacking players than last year. Savio and Bobb added to the wings, frees up Foden and Bernardo for other roles more too. WhoScored and FotMob both had Savio as one of the top five players in La Liga last season, so he's...

    Let's face it, the places that are pushing the "two-tier" claims, aren't doing it because they want to present a balanced picture.

    Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

    And he's a "bench player" who happened to play more minutes than all but three of United's outfield players.

    Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

    Foden was the only one I could think of. He's 24 now, so not for the last couple of seasons. Agree it's unusual. It does seem like there's not much transfer activity happening yet - wonder if it'll kick in a bit later than usual. It seems amazing that we're going into the Community Shield with...

    Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

    In those seasons did we have players in a similar position to Rico and Oscar that didn't count? Rico played 1600 minutes last season, and Bobb (who is nearly 18 months older than Rico) played 800 and was probably our best player on the pre-season tour. Add in that we've got even more...

    Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

    Perhaps the reality hit that they were going to end up with Conor Gallagher, if it went through? ;)

    Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

    Hard to work out as it's not clear, but wouldn't it make more sense that PSG are offering double Atletico? Otherwise it's a funny way to describe it.

    The Conservative Party

    All the polling from the last election says different. The Tories were only the 2nd choice for about a third of Reform voters. As many Reform voters would have gone Lab/LD/Green, and a good chunk wouldn't have voted at all. Without Reform, Labour would still have had a huge majority, and given...

    Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

    I'm a big fan of Alvarez, but I don't think it leaves up particularly short. I assume with Kev and Bernardo now looking like they're staying, Savio coming in, Bobb looking so good in pre-season, and Foden's success in the centre last season, that the club were fairly relaxed about him leaving...

    UK far right trouble

    It's disingenuous racist nonsense. We've got thousands of people saying that plan to attack Mosques. Of course, the PM is going to say that protecting Mosques is a priority. It would be idiotic nonsense to suggest we should therefore step up security at Churches. There's a list going round of...

    The Labour Government

    I remember reading that other MEPs were initially confused when he would walk into a debate, insist on speaking, read out a prepared speech on a totally different topic, then walk right out again. It was only when these speeches started turning up on social media, suggesting he was 'standing up...

    UK far right trouble

    But you're mostly talking about other countries, and focussing on the negative aspects of religion. I was pointing out that putting religious people in a box that is marked "hate and violence" doesn't reflect the majority in this country. Christianity may be more marginal in people's lives, but...

    UK far right trouble

    It also brings people together, supports those in need, and most moderately religious people (which is the vast majority) are very tolerant, and tend to have similar beliefs. There are obviously complexities around anything that creates differences between people, but I wouldn't say the...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    The actual article is a total puff piece for City. Comments are delightfully sour.

    UK far right trouble

    I'd imagine the police are better able, and more used to dealing with this kind of low level disorder. I was also reading something last week about the use of more aggressive anti-riot tactics in Europe, and the argument was that they can be counterproductive. The police response is almost...

    UK far right trouble

    Clearly hotspots - and it's not a surprise that it's the poorer towns that are the focus. Even then, most of the "riots" seem to be a few hundred people at most, and probably just a few dozen actively participating in rioting. Even in Middlesborough or Hartlepool, I expect it's not 1% of the...
