No but I've been to Ukraine... The locals gave the lad in the pic that flag after the game v Kharkiv. They were fuckin lovely to us. They all said how corrupt their country was though. The club doesn't exist anymore, can only guess what happened to the gangster who owned it who propelled them into Europa League football...

Still no footage of that Gloom, you're a video journo aren't you? am certainly not saying it didn't happen, just I can't find any footage of it....

Am I detecting evidence of a Friday afternoon session? Landlords folks used to run it & he was the chef, fuckin great place in those days, still is to be fair , buy he told us he can't get a chef at the right price to make meals work for him...shame really..

If they don't go in the day after the winter Olympics finish then it's doubtful...at the moment Vlad doesn't want to steel the limelight from his old mate Ping...

It's opportunistically using yesterday's news to denigrate a non threat. Apparently on the eve of war. Fuckin pointless in the big scheme of things. So we're in clear agreement really.. we're just looking at it differently

Yes, this is what I'm suggesting is Starmer's priority, an election rather than war. I get it, it just stinks to me. No, not sure why you'd ask tbh

I understand what people are saying but it just smacks of settling old scores to me. Corbyn is not an issue when we're on the edge of war. It's utter bollocks iyam.

One is rather more important in the current circumstances than the other iyam. Either he wants to avoid conflict or he wants to win the next election. Conflating the two is what Johnson is currently doing...funny that..

He gets a free ride because he's not Corbyn?

OK... I'll stand corrected if you can find a link because I can't, there was no coverage on TV news yesterday that I saw. I'm not pro Russia, but I am pro pointing out that the Tories are rotten with bent roubles from Putin's goons. Starner would've better putting the emphasis on Russia feeling they can wander around and do precisely what they like and the last decade of Tory government has encouraged them to do precisely that

They've had no publicity about their stance on Ukraine till yesterday. Go figure.

Yeah. But you didn't know about this online event till Starner's comments. That is rather my point...what the fuck is he using a column in the Guardian for to attack a fringe element who have no say over anything? ....

And did you know that before Starmer randomly attacked them yesterday?

My dad knew Jim Clark when they were teenagers in Berwickshire & I knew Steve Hislop when I was a teenager... think the moral here is if you drive cars, bikes or aircraft very very quickly then it's best to avoid our family

And have stop the war been making nationwide headlines with this hardline pro Russian stance?

are the red lion doing meals again yet?

Sadiq Khan appears to have stabbed her square in the face….fair play…

Met police chief Cressida Dick to step down https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-60340525

She lost then accused her fellow Dems of rigging the vote. Trump publicly supported her, adding fuel to the rumour she was also a Russian asset who would run as a third candidate in 2020 thus splitting the Democrat vote and allowing Trump to win....so apart from that she'd have definitely won, yeah..

Of course she understands what the rule of law is....she's just getting away with ignoring it. Until there's consequences for these fuckers nothing changes. Our method of democracy is too weak to withstand attacks like this, so was the the US...

Don't remember her standing? 🤔

Neil Lennon is a decent choice ability wise and would certainly be my personal choice just for the fewm factor it would create

Ive just got in from the pub where I watched the game with several members of our old Sunday morning football team, one of whom is a die hard Everton fan . 25+ years on we still fuckin hate each other for the 90mins

I think there's probably more to it than that. But he might just be doing what comics are known to do when they're in hot water, use some convoluted algorithm of the "it was just a joke" get out clause. I've recently listened to his "self help" book... which was a bit self regarding but funny in parts...at some point in the book.he said the joke that would end his career was already out there...think he's been waiting for this moment for a long time which means he's pretty well prepared for it. I think TV will dump him but he says he's not bothered by that, live stand is his thing and he'll always get a huge audience....unless the venues cancel him...
