Pleased about Bellerin he was beginning to develop a habit of scoring against us.

I agree with this and think there are similarities here though not on the same scale. I only post the Biden one as I think they get an easy ride in the media. I didn't like Corbyn yet did not believe he was either corrupt or anti-Semitic yet the media witch-hunt was in full swing until he stepped down.

I agree on Hezbollah being a player. Think Iran's annoyance was Trump stopping negotiations and putting Sanctions on Iran. They expected Biden to remove Sanctions as part of renewing the negotiations the US has not done this. So they say they are continuing to enrich nuclear material. Iran is a much more difficult target than either Iraq or Syria and since the 90s has been preparing for an attack. Notice with their missile that hit the US airbase in Iraq under Trump it evaded detection.

Is Biden this bad?

My reading at the moment suggests Israel is getting concerned about Iran's progress with nuclear enrichment. Allegedly they were asking the US to bomb Iran's nuclear sites yet the Biden govt is not interested. So Israel is looking at what they can do. Of course for them to bomb is not easy as they need to fly over a number of countries and then of course is the military reaction if they do go ahead.

I lived down under for a couple of years and it was Whinging Pom rather than Pommy Bastard.

I was looking at an article by the founder of the PCR test, said it was wrong to use this test as it could not distinguish between a live virus or a dead virus.

From Al Jazeera only other link was Guardian Clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill, proposed in July and updated in November, exempts the government from giving notice of a decision to deprive a person of citizenship if authorities do not have the subject’s contact details or if it is not “reasonably practical” to do so. Makes you wonder what situations this would cover, I could see it being used with illegal immigration via boats where they suspect it is economic migration rather than escaping persecution yet of course it could be misused or have other motives.

Even Theresa May has now come out and said we just now need to get on and live with it.

UK govt exempted the vaccination companies from liability even though using experimental vaccines (at least initially). Suppose the claim if lodged is then against the local health authority.

You are correct on the virus, the former Israel Medical Head at the outset said lockdowns are silly you cannot stop a virus and it mutates too quickly. He went further on those deaths in Northern Italy saying this is normal every winter a lot die due to the specific geography there. The other thing a lot died on the respirators as staff did not know how to use them and so were giving them pure oxygen which is poisonous. After saying this the former Israeli head was never consulted again and excluded from the media. Recently in Israel the head has come under attack after another lock down and after 4 rounds of vaccination the media got wind that his wife and family were flying out for a vacation.

I had a look on the BBC about cocaine use and passports and it is clear this is not to be used for all just some. No detail yet suggests a particular type of user. I'll wait on the detail before judging.

I don't see a problem getting rid of the EU human rights, the way it has been abused to go after old veterans that served in N.I was deplorable. Also like others have said we have the bill of rights and also we have the H of L that can delay legislation if they don't like it and as it is full of political appointments so they will make political capital if the govt try to push any thing too dodgy through. On asylum seekers we should be taking a lot back to their own countries especially young African males who are mainly economic migrants. The Middle Eastern ones are more difficult to judge due to our participation in dodgy ME conflicts. Until we start repatriating ( forget France) the obvious chancers no-one will take us seriously.

Well with over 30 mutations I personally think some dark forces are now trying to cash-in on this and I have further heard this virus is only mild. Bill Gates is pushing an idea for a smallpox vaccine and yes biolabs still have reserves of small pox. Now if Gates wanted to make a difference he might have gone into getting fresh water into places like Africa, instead he has opted to go into a business where they can make further money from patents. Guaranteed income as tax payers cough up and you can always threaten scientists with blacklisting if they don't do what you say. I have a child that is not vaccinated and ran rings around other kids at school, she won nearly every event and was in every team. She made head prefect of her school and selected as a future national leader though decided to step away from that. Now in her 20s she is working. She is not vaccinated and will only agree to do so if it detrimentally affects her livelihood.

Not knocking your right to protest yet football is a business these days, perhaps not for the fans yet for the owners they can sell more or less to anyone and move on. They tend to not care for traditions unless they think it will cost them money. The walkout may have the desired effect and realistically it is a fair protest and probably beats hundreds of fans outside the club with placards as the media will report an in match crowd movement more likely than those outside the club.

Chelsea no decent trophies between 1971- 1997 when we won the FA Cup, if it helps. 97 was also under Bates not Abramovich.

I think in Australia they forcibly rounded up the Aborigines in Northern Australia to place in isolation camps. Some have condemned this. Last week there were large crowds in at least three big cities over the continued lockdown measures. For once did not notice the police using CS gas wonder if threats were made as saw in some previous demos some citizens thought the police had lost the plot and made their feelings known.

Israel prepares to deliver a fourth vaccine; https://www.cracknewz.com/2021/10/amazon-increasingly-hard-to-avoidpicture.html

Just came across this which raises questions, whether right or wrong her nursing career is most certainly over https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/covid-19/crisis-in-slovenia-whistleblower-nurse-says-politicians-receive-saline-instead-of-mrna-jab/

Yes it is beginning to look like the players that struggled to make an impact last season are now doing that with Lukaku on the bench. It may be the case that Lukaku will struggle this season as the other player options prove better.

Felt at the time Silva's block with Mendy beaten from Moratar's lob was very important. Otherwise a very satisfying night.

I agree I don't see Poch winning major silverware (EPL or CL) while at Utd though expect them to play better and win some less prestigious silverware.

At the weekend before Ollly crashed he was in the UK papers complaining about his chances of winning anything with a front three of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe. Said none of them close down enough. At the time a funny article or did he know something so took a chance to criticise his employers with the Utd job in mind?

In one of my last jobs before COV-ID was working alongside consultants and one had a daughter obsessed with Peppa Pig and yes they went to Peppa Pig World. Peppa Pig worth £6bn to the economy, not to be sniffed at for me

I like history and think it was the general Jodl saying in December '41 they had lost the war as they failed to take Moscow. Their war had been Blitzkrieg tactics not attritional warfare, We know they did not give up there was Stalingrad and Kursk. One of the very senior Nazis and close to Hitler was Martin Boorman, he has never been found. I would think it is possible after Stalingrad they knew they were going to lose and so constructed an escape plan including experts to attest to false remains. Not saying this happened yet would keep an open mind.
