    The RSF, The UAE and the killings in Sudan

    The Newsagents podcast (Emily Maitlis & Co.) did an episode on this yesterday, specifically about all the British military equipment that seems to be on those planes going from the UAE to Chad. A clusterfuck indeed.

    The Labour Government

    It certainly is, but it's also beyond frustrating that they keep shooting themselves in the foot like this by handing their critics ammunition on a platter. We all know that there's different standards at play, with Farage and the Tories getting away with far worse, but that's why Labour...

    Uefa allow La Liga games to be played abroad | Plan for Villarreal v Barcelona in Miami scrapped (p3)

    I meant competitive against other leagues/competitions, as La Liga's statement gave that as the main reason. But even so, the only way to become more competitive against other leagues, and therefore financially stronger in the long term, is still by increasing competition within the league...

    Uefa allow La Liga games to be played abroad | Plan for Villarreal v Barcelona in Miami scrapped (p3)

    If he really wants La Liga to be more competitive, he needs to rethink the distribution of TV money rather than coming up with batshit crazy ideas that make the league even less appealing to watch than it already is. It really is as simple as that, but he's never going to take on the greedy...

    Uefa allow La Liga games to be played abroad | Plan for Villarreal v Barcelona in Miami scrapped (p3)

    La Liga's statement on the cancellation is a disgrace. There's no hint of contrition and not a single mention of the very valid concerns raised by fans and players. I thought it was going to start with ''LaLiga deeply regrets that this project has caused such division in the game" but no...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Another soft signal that a decision is imminent

    Savinho extends his contract to 2031

    That bit on the touchline in the second half yesterday was embarrassing. Rolling around like he'd had his leg snapped in half while we're trying to defend, then immediately jumped up when the ball broke forward. Can't be doing with wankers like that, no matter who they play for.

    Exactly. And they'll be stuck in this predicament until the Ferguson years become a distant memory. They've spent the last 12 years forlornly trying to leapfrog their way to the top of the league without even attempting to put in the foundations first. Everything they do — from the managers...

    Ryder Cup 2025

    The captains only nominate one player each who would stand down. So i assume you'd just forfeit the others if there was more than one injury.

    ID cards.

    It all depends on the purpose and level of functionality. We have them over here and it makes performing all sorts of day-to-day admin tasks an absolute piece of piss, presumably massively reducing overheads and fraud in the process. However, that's in a country where all the systems are...

    Chinese cars

    Jetour, GAC, Exeed and a few other Chinese brands are growing massively in popularity here in the UAE. Great looking cars (albeit blatant rip offs of more established brands) and really nice interiors at unbelievable prices. Never driven one but know plenty of people who own one and they all...

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    Correct, you didn't say it was impossible, you only insinuated it would be unlikely. It wasn't a criticism of you or your post (which I agree with); it was just a broader observation (way beyond this particular case) that we no longer tend to associate Republicans as being against fascism.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    Correct. But that wasn't my point. It was the suggestion that he couldn't possibly be Republican if he hates fascists.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    It shows just how far the Overton window has shifted that we now think it impossible that a Republican could also be against fascism.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    Yeah, that was an impressive jump, my knees would have blown out! The footage of him limping is before the shooting; the theory is that the gun was down his trouser leg. Weird but plausible as he keeps his right leg completely straight.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    Yeah, you're right. I missed that. So he walked to the scene with it down his trousers and had the rifle bag in his backpack. That clears up my confusion about that part.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    That's presumably the backpack he's seen carrying in all the other footage.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    The same old method used in the immediate aftermath of Hillsborough, Muddy the waters quick enough and the bullshit will stick in people's heads for years no matter how many times it's proven to be bullshit.

    Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

    That occurred to me, but if he was worried they'd be searching bags, you'd think they'd find a massive rifle down his trousers too! Anyway, I'm needlessly speculating. Obviously no one really knows at this point, and we may never even find out.
