Meanwhile ... " we have met the enemy, and he is us! " Or US, whichever way you want to read it it's the same in this case.

Oh dear, she doesn't even know Ukraine is in Europe .... Putin must be so pleased with his investment in the "America First" GOP.

Meanwhile, the GoP (Go Putin) party continue to display their true colours. Not only are they NOT America first, they are clearly anti-democratic as well as being un-American.

The advantage of letting Fox produce their misinformation (propaganda) is it flushed out all the insurrectionists. Now the question is what will happen to them - ignore them just like Germany did with Hitler - we all saw what happened when they did that.....

Here we go, tonight we find out ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, George Soros and Ukraine were behind the Jan 06 insurrection. 😞

But in the meantime, someone else has a better plan. And he should know coming from where he does. Aparthied Apart = Apart Heid= Living Yeah that's a great idea... let's try that in America.

Oh well, meanwhile TFG has a plan ...

Amazing what a couple of $1Bn lawsuits will do to encourage you to finally tell the truth eh Rupert?

And now, despite all of the above, the Republican Speaker of the House has given exclusive access to Jan 6th security camera footage to Fox News and Tucker Carlson. And meanwhile his pet Congresswoman (is he having an affair with her) says -

Opinion is way too kind, it's actually blatant misrepresentation for profit. And that is not protected speech.... Fortunately, they have a second lawsuit closely following on the heels of Dominion's defamation case.

Time for the Democrats to apply a public pressure campaign to shut Fox down. This is an organization that is in practice a PAC (Political Action Committee), not Press, and exists only to elect Republicans.

The penny has dropped .... "sovereignty" was just a slogan, the people behind Brexit had no intention of allowing Parliament to retain it. Now, what will these authoritarians who hijacked the country do about it? Double down, as what we know about authoritarians is chaos IS the point of their "policies"; as in the chaos they are free to commit their crimes. https://twitter.com/implausibleblog/status/1626865124257550336 Baroness Jones, "The only sensible thing now is to cut our losses and rejoin the EU.. I say that as somebody who voted for Brexit.. The gov is taking away parliament's sovereign powers of voting for or against laws.. We've reached the slash and burn stage of Brexit cultism."

IMO we should only ever were the "away kit" when there is a color clash - i.e. Watford. And maybe Blackpool, Hull, Luton. Although if you can't tell the difference between Canary yellow and orange heaven help you. But then as you say a white shirt would suffice. Always wearing our high visibility "home kit" is exploiting the "fine margins" our sporting director has claimed makes a difference.

Why would Musk be sitting with Murdoch this past weekend? Were they working out how to distract from this bombshell reporting of Fox's collusion with Trump's election claims? Let's hope the American courts take down both of these anti-democratic fascists who have leveraged American goodwill and economic and speech liberties to build empires, both of which could have done so much good but have instead revealed hearts of evil. "power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely" ... e tu Rupert, Elon, Vladimir?

While Rupert Murdoch's Fox News and Republicans in Congress have been trying to whip up a national scandal over Hunter Biden's laptop - the FBA and President Biden (who wasn't even President at the time) were alleged to be blackmailing Twitter to not repost (Rupert Murdoch's) New York Post's laptop story..... Trump and / or a Trump-associated group had copied Top Secret files onto a laptop. I'm sure we'll hear crickets about that actual national scandal from the above propagandists over the next few days.

Well in that case, maybe he can stay back and stop getting in the way...

How many times has Hanley actually put a header on target, rather than over the bar ??? Given that he's supposedly so quick, why don't we leave him as the covering defender and let another CB have a go?

It makes no sense at all. In another field why do you think Ukraine wants to join the EU and NATO? Because by sharing its sovereignty it can remain a sovereign nation and not be devoured by the Russian bear. Same with rejoining the EU, we'd be so much better off, and a much more powerful voice in the world than one trying to go it alone. There is a reason the UK economy is underperforming every other G7 economy and it's not how hard the British people work.

In the medical field there are two technical standards that virtually guarantee access to 90% of the world market. FDA 510(k) and CE Mark. There is absolutely no point whatsoever in the UK having its own standards that diverge from either. If a UK standard is higher no manufacturer would bother to create a product specifically for the UK market, if a UK standard is lower no manufacturer would bother to create a product that they could only sell into the UK market. No political posturing can change that commercial reality. When in the EU the UK had a very powerful negotiating position - often backed up by the smaller countries - as a counterbalance to the interests of France and Germany. Outside the EU it has NONE. It is commercial stupidity of the highest degree. p.s. who is the 10% not covered by FDA or CE? China. Good luck if you think you can sell there and still maintain your IP or get paid.

It's the truth none of the anti-EU brigade wants to face. To believe that the UK with its centuries-old history of trading around the world building a commercial and political empire the spread of which had never been seen before wasn't already trading with every single one of the countries that are supposed to replace trade with the EU beggars belief. Then again people do buy the Daily Mail etc etc.

Well, there's the rub. The political branch of the UK government may have decided that they want nothing to do with CE, but the administrative branch has done nothing to create the UK alternative. As an importer, I know this first hand as we have been trying since March 2022 to get an answer to a simple question "how do I proceed to obtain certification to sell our medical device to the UK market" "Will you accept FDA, or CE or do we need to obtain a reconstituted BSI / new UKCA certification?" Nobody seemed to know, not even the appropriate medical expert at the UK Dept of Trade. p.s. The answer just revealed was - the UK Gov will accept a CE mark until July 2023 (since pushed back to July 2024). At that time we will need the new UKCA mark, but they still can't tell you how to get that. So what should our company do? We'll just have to sell to countries that will accept our product and pass over the UK for a European HQ. All over "sovereignty/immigrants" rants from prats like Farage.

Meanwhile over in the AFC, that's a finish everyone hoped to see. 20-20 and 48 sec to go as I write this.

Pukki’s successor then? Not necessarily for the goals, but for setting them up for others.

Congratulations to the Eagles. The better team won, please go win the Super Bowl now? This stings, but this unbeaten run was like lightning in a bottle and it finally escaped. Last time i felt this disappointed in a what could have / should have been result was Texas losing Colt McCoy to injury at the start of their national title.game v Alabama.

Why hasn't Biden or Zelinsky done that. They are in charge right... I mean common' man stop the war, give True a call....
