Verstappen losing power. More bad luck for Red Bull. Wtf is wrong with them?!

mate wtf is this

Leclerc out

Great start for Mercedes.

Kimi love him so much.

Hamilton front row. Mercedes 1-2 lock out. 2nd row Ferraris. Raikkonen out-qualifying Vettel Great stuff from Gasly, too. 6th!

was it just me or was that Q1 really hard to keep up with

loving the shots of the dark black clouds in amongst the clear blue skies above the track.

Lewis is disappointed.

Raining for qualifying. should make it a bit more interesting.

Lookman is presumably going to Leipzig so not in the squad.

Embarrassing defending

2-0 to Blackburn.

Fergie looks great considering what he's been through. Fair play.

just seen some pictures of the Greek wildfires. Looks mad. Would hate to be caught up in that. As above, hope @Fusion and @Dalmore are safe. And anyone else living in the areas affected!

Leroy Sane says Chelsea are Man City's nearest title challengers... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44933222

Just when you think you couldn't like Stroll any more

Yeah but it's one of the most expensive tickets you can buy? Which is what I said

£15m for Ojo and £27m for Origi

going by this for last season: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41482931 not even close! 16 clubs charging more as their most expensive. Orient nearly charging double that. 7 clubs charging more or equal for their cheapest.

I'll give you that one. Voting for the lesser of 2 evils I guess. For me that's Corbyn. May is so incompetent. She doesn't scream out to you any authority or presence, even confidence.

@Smiley Culture I know you don't support them any more but no doubt you've seen this already https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44929169

that's literally the first thing I thought of when I saw one bellend fan of your club wishing that he was dead. Did not understand at all.

The responsibility lies with the candidates/campaigners to promote their own party and 'educate' their own policies as opposed to what Brexit became i.e. a slanging match and just a lot of lies bandied about each other's party - bordering on offensive, abusive, insulting etc etc. The media have a big part of the blame there though - they became volatile and created an environment to be just that. I agree about the schooling - I don't remember ever getting taught about importance of my vote and what I could be voting for at the time. Unless you're gonna do a politics course at A-Level/Uni then I doubt you'll know complex intricacies of government and the way policies effect society and the country (or learnt it outside of school). Not sure I agree too much about the aptitude test - I think you'd end up eliminate a lot of voters even though they'll be living in a place where some policies really have an effect i.e. high population of students in an area may want to know what their life will be like in terms of fees for uni - if they fail the aptitude test, how can they have a vote on their future? That's just one loose example though.

I agree about the GE where people are less likely to vote, but referendum was a totally different matter. It just frustrates me that people didn't vote in the referendum - like you, I can't control other people and couldn't force them to vote. But I'm of the mind that decades ago people literally fought for the right to vote and people aren't willing to use that right and prerogative to do so. 13 million people being able to vote, and not doing so, is a very large amount which could have influenced the result.
