Sorry but outing Priti Patel for her insensitive comments is not part of a 'labour echo chamber'. Outing Rachel Riley for her actions also isn't either. Got nothing to do with supporting Labour. Just saying how I see it. Even if I wasn't Labour, I'd still be severely worried by seeing that. Do you think what they said/did were positive?

Swinson was terrible. No substance. No style. Johnson was disastrous - bumbling idiot. As per. Genuinely barely answered any question that was posed. Corbyn was decent. Missed Sturgeon but heard she was good. Format was decent. Stopped all of them talking over each other as we usually see on some debates.

John Salako's had a mare today then

By the way, the article states he said he never considered leaving but if you look at the quotes in the article, no mention of those words

agree to disagree on that front then!

But he literally said 'there's nothing to talk about it'. Where does he say he was in contention for it

Notoriously cheap but just forked out to pay Mourinho about £15m/year if some reports are to go by?! If other reports are to go by, Spurs had been looking for up to a month to replace Pochettino. I don't get why it's so outlandish to want a manager at a club and for that club to say 'nah, go look for someone else'. I really don't see the problem with the Rodgers quotes either. It's quite obvious he's been asked about the Spurs links. It's not like he's just started a press conference with those quotes

Spurs made an approach. We told them to do one.

so fucking backwards, that.

Yeah she taken it too far with that. Utterly embarrassing that.

Haha

you're certainly wrong.

Cor Priti Patel is a slimy bitch as well isn't she? One of the worst of the 'elite'. They just really do not get it do they?

Top 2 divisions to not play first minute this weekend https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50496274

@nudge any news on Haaland potentially moving in January? Obviously hope he stays with Salzburg as he's absolutely tearing it up there as is well known.

Also ended up not going on Sky with Kay Burley, presumably out of fear of embarrassment.

James Cleverley, chairman of Tories, refusing to take responsibility of the whole Twitter FactCheck name-change thing. Passing the buck on to the 'Digital Media Team' but is not willing to say who made the call. He's slimy as fuck.

This became very frustrating. Especially when he diverted the NHS question to Brexit. Just became tiresome if the whole thing wasn't already.

It's only Estonia but Wijnaldum has scored a hat-trick for Netherlands tonight.

Almost always paying over the odds for players in that window, too. Unless you find a gem in leagues around Europe. We did with Ndidi and Mahrez but they're not players that will make immediate impacts. Think your squad is fine until summer anyway. Lampard seems to have good gauge and control of the squad as it is.

I think there's just a lot of generalisations there to be honest and while I get its based on personal experience, that only counts for so much. It's not just 'black kids stabbing each other'. Just because you get 2 black kids attacking you when you're younger doesn't mean that every black kid (with or without a father/father figure) ends up in jail or in a gang or committing crime. I agree society and culture has to change - having said that, taking police off the streets does have a huge impact in how society can behave. The correlation is clear from where I've worked for the past 4-5 years. In the start of my job, we had a PCSO or 2 covering various districts and wards of the town. About 4 or 5 covering the town and being visible in the areas. More to the point, they would actually converse with the kids who would cause petty crimes and they would know the families and the history behind the kids being little shits. And when the cuts hit? There's one or two PCSOs covering the whole of the town. How is that even practical to manage? Their time is taken up by crime that happens all over and the impact of their work is lost. Obviously we want to eradicate gang culture (which comprises of white, blacks, Asians, not just one or the other). So I would disagree when you say 'no amount of Police will stop this'. I think more police on the streets, even in a PSCO role, would have a positive effect. Purely because it's worked before until the cuts came in and then when they did, there's less for a Police force to spend on that particular role. Even higher up the chain - there's just simply not enough PCs to manage large towns/cities. So as a result, I think it's quite obvious that crime rates increase and it's not just because of 'society'. The culture in schools I agree should change and be directed towards making kids more active and promoting good exercise. To be honest, I don't work in a school and I haven't been back in one for years so I couldn't really say what kind of schemes or initiative there are currently in place to promote it but I think it's imperative for any government to influence in future the importance of getting kids active. Pushing the idea of physical activity and allowing a certain time in the school day for it is just important as being academically sound, too. Mental illness is a sensitive subject - it's too easy to say 'physical activity makes you feel better' and clears your mind. Especially when you look at the amount of athletes/sportsmen/sportswomen that are literally physical every single day of their career and still suffer depression/anxiety etc. Of course there's different pressures in various walks of life but mental illness can't be treated so easily as just being a physically active person. There definitely must be more investment in support services for mental illness. I'm not talking about those who feel a bit shit one day. I'm talking severe cases where there's mental breakdowns and genuine mental concern. I have one friend who suffered a breakdown and had to wait 99 days to be seen for her first appointment. That's not on.

Definitely going to become a paedo, a serial killer or both.

@Toinho any news in Australia about what this could be about/what they were banned for? Dare I say it could be sexual assault or something along the lines of it... Atkinson, Wales & McGree the main A-League players involved. Brandon Wilson doesn't really play these days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50471012

I did it better.
