That's fair. He was doing Basil Fawlty esque jokes - rightly or wrongly - yet the headline and opening paras make it sound like he was randomly going full-on Bannon/Musk.

Can't even accuse random Germans of being Nazis any more, these days.

Tbf his display after coming on tonight shows why he's not in the team.

Good fan. Sportsball til I die!

He was alright first half - mainly early on - but completely anonymous after half time. Not really his fault, we just stopped playing and he was never going to thrive with us just punting the ball aimlessly up the pitch.

This almost makes me glad I’m emigrating to Australia in December ☹️ Why? Where in Oz you moving to? My wife is Aussie and wants to go home after 25 years here. It’s been coming for about 6 years now and I’ve finally agreed. I don’t really want to, but… We’re going to near Gosford on the central co...

Worst game of the season. Goal and a few half decent saves from Keeley aside I don't think anyone comes out of that with much credit. Currie was alright, I guess. Maybe Cooper as well. The subs made zero impact. Well, zero positive impact, anyway. Although at least OON looked lively. Absolute dross,...

I actually know someone currently doing time for their - alleged - part in a JSO protest. Huge amount of respect for them. No idea why they've made this decision now, but perhaps the way the laws and courts are stamping down on people's previously hard won right to protest means there's just too muc...

Nah, she's not Scouse. Just a Liverpool fan. It all lines up.

I've listened to a fair bit of drill and you can't move for references like "egads! man's strapped", "bounder gonna get wetted!" and "dat shanking hath besmirched thine honour!".

Liverpool, obviously.

Do we know for sure this isn't just kids taking part in a reenactment event?

Do some laws or something. I'll leave that up to Reeves, I'm sure she'll strive to come up with the answer since the only reason she went into politics was to help out disadvantaged kids. Shame, expected at least the effort of a Guardian comment piece or a Tax Justice link from 6 years ago :( Got a...

The one time I er, forgot, to declare some income while I *might* have been in receipt of JSA, they pinged me straight away and I ended up having to pay it back. There's plenty of mechanisms already in place to weedle out fraud. And even if there wasn't, 1000s and 1000s of people would have to be on...

I'll bring my boots.

You're not that tall.

You wrongly assumed I didn’t know anything about the family or the circumstances . At no point did I say what particular benefits make up the £2000 per month , neither did I claim to know. Again , bore off So you don't have all the facts then. That's cool, thanks for clarifying. You should have jus...

Pretty sure I've seen that video months ago, claiming to be another part of the UK.

You really are a cretin. I have known the family for 30 years. I have known the daughter since she was born. The father talks to me about it and I do know all of the elements you claim I don’t. Troll someone else and bore off Go on then, specify precisely which benefits she's receiving since you ha...

He's hopeless... Worst manager ever imo

Wondered what the beef with him was but just checked his record and, apart from decent enough stints at Oxford (one L2 promotion) and Lincoln, it is pretty...not great.

No need to sign your posts!

A daughter of a friend of mine is an alcoholic ( recovering but relapsing ) , she has three children under nine by different fathers , and she receives £2000 a month and has done for at least the last five years. Her parents could afford to keep her and have bought her a house. It’s one example of ...

Genuinely interested in the "without having a negative impact on services" caveat to that question. I would bet a hefty amount that those same people would also decry the current state of those same services.

Whenever we play Stevenage there's always an arguement for picking the team based solely on height and weight.
