    Not this again. Didn't we have all that with Boeing, and the RWNJs claiming every accident was down to DEI hires, and had nothing to do with cost-cutting to drive profits at the risk of passenger lives?

    The Labour Government

    This was all just political theater. Theatrics by the SNP for bringing an amendment that they knew was never going to get voted through, but can land an early blow on the new PM. Theatrics from the rebels by voting against it. They knew it wouldn't pass, they knew the reasons for it (as they...

    How much have Thatcher/Reagan contributed to the state of the world today?

    If I were to give Thatcher the benefit of the doubt (I feel dirty saying that, and not in a good way), I might consider that she didn’t fully grasp how selfish and greedy many people could be. Her embrace of neoliberalism and the trickle-down theory of unrestrained capitalism might have been...

    US Politics Thread

    Our US based posters might correct me on this, but I think to a lot of Americans it's a big deal for their candidates to 'look' Presidential (or it might just be the campaign teams). In this clip she very much has that aura.

    I find displaying the 10 commandments, one of which being Thou shall not kill, in schools in a state that has the death penalty to be quite humorous. That's before you get into the rest of the commandments Trump has broken and that most in that state see him as an idol. It's as if followers of...

    President Trump

    Come on! There’s a world of difference between what is in this article compared to what Trump has been found libel for and has been accused of…A few of the accusations in that article is that he held a hug a beat too long. Which lies does he continue to peddle that irk you? And are these more...

    President Trump

    I believe it is only one allegation, which has been found wanting....added to this, the woman has since defected to Russia. I wouldn't say memory holed, people are aware of this, these are well documented. When confronted with them he set the record straight (Has Trump ever done that?) There...

    President Trump

    It beggars belief that anyone could vote for Trump. He's a rapist, He's been accused many times of sexual abuse. He's a fraudster, He constantly lies, He cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star. He only cares about himself, He's surrounded by the worst people, conspiracy nutjobs, and...

    The Labour Government

    Somebody needs to point out to these healthy, well-educated and happiest nations on the planet that their high tax/high public service economies aren't working.

    Gareth Southgate knighted

    Aragones took over after Euro 2004. They lost in 2006 against a great French side, after that defeat he realised they needed to change the way they played, adopting a more possession-based (tika-taka) football that suited the players he had. They won Euro 2008 and his successor won the following...

    Spain v England - Sun 14th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Final

    I can confirm it is nowhere close to being Walker's fault, at all. First off, Rice and Bellingham are far too deep, allowing Zubimendi to receive the ball in acres of space before passing to Olmo, who again has been left in acres of space as Rice and Bellingham have drifted towards the left and...

    FA confirm Southgate will stay on until after Euro 2024 (p 101)

    Tough looking abroad though, as they need to 'get' English players. We brought in Cappello who was a disaster, whereas Sven was great although too laid back with the players. The dream for me would have been Ancelotti, we should have lined him up for after this tournament knowing his contract...

    Spain v England - Sun 14th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Final

    First half it looked like Foden was told to stay on Rodri, he was constantly looking for him and didn't stray too far from him. That sums us up, our best attacking player being told to marshall the oppositions defensive midfielder.

    Spain v England - Sun 14th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Final

    I'm not having that Southgate is a lovely bloke. The man has a fragile ego, he's stubborn and a hypocrite. He's a fraud that can't influence a game. 8 years on and there is no plan, no clear idea of what this England team's identity is. Listen to Sid Lowe talk about de la Fuente's impact on...

    Euro 2024

    I'm not trying to score points nor argue. I'm just providing context to the facts. Southgate has the best record of any England manager at tournaments. At these tournaments: We swat aside the minnows - Panama, Iran We struggle against, but ultimately overcome, inferior but well-organised...

    Euro 2024

    Why do you have a picture of me? and am I naked in it? Yes, you can only beat the teams in front of you, it does help that all these teams have been inferior to us. Both Switzerland and the Netherlands are currently teams we're expected to beat. His record is the best. Records also show...

    Netherlands v England - Wed 10th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Semi-Final

    He played 96mins less in the league than he did the previous season. Overall he played more minutes last season than the season before. He started and played 90mins in 6 Champions League games. He started, played 90mins, and was MotM for his only England appearance last season. He's a player...

    Euro 2024

    Sure Southgate has gone further than any manager since 1966. That is a fact. Another fact is that he has done what every England manager has done which is, generally stink out the group stages and then lose to the first decent team we face in the knockouts. WC 2014 and Euro 2016 were complete...
