It's literally a city the size of manchester each year, and most of it legal, not illegal. It's beyond the pale. It needs to be literally zero for a while. I know that will upset people but in the short term, literally zero and work out what the hell has gone on. The tories are leeches and need to go.
I'm not even too sure if I'm fussed. GDP goes up, we don't see any of it. Market goes up, the public receives nothing. It all feels like a con.
The capitalist system is fundamentally broken, just as a matter of thermodynamics never mind ideology. A system that requires perpetual growth into finite space is going to collapse. Better to change it now than wait until we've tarmacked over the Lake District and turned every town into Johannesburg.
Congrats to Lando Norris on his maiden F1 victory in his 110th race. Only McLaren’s second Grand Prix win in the last 12 years. I can only hope they start to win more consistently and provide Max Verstappen some competition.
Did it on pace as well. For the most part when the Redbulls have been beaten before its been by luck. But this time Mclaren were just faster.
I think theres a good chance that US will have big Shock Market crash in the next 5 to 10 years. What with the political situation and the overvaluation of some very large US companies.
Monty gone woke? So today I am withdrawing as a General Election candidate for The Workers Party. I realise I need more time to listen, learn and find my political home, one that aligns with my personal and political values.— Monty Panesar (@montypanesar) May 8, 2024
He’s a lovely man but he’s not very bright. I mean genuinely as well, he doesn’t seem to have a high IQ and I think harder questions fired at him would be a problem.
I don't think he has much chance of doing much in politics really. Like you say he's not the brightest and he's too much of a nice guy.

😡 John Fury has hit out at British boxing fans going against Tyson Fury ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.Check out our full Fury/Usyk playlist on YouTube HERE 🔗 https://t.co/ufq8BzrSAK#FuryUsyk | #RingOfFire | #RiyadhSeason | #JohnFury pic.twitter.com/SccJIiKAtA— IFL TV (@IFLTV) May 15, 2024 Absolutely desperate for Usyk to beat this pathetic Saudi shill and his family of sell outs this weekend. Whole family including him are so odious, from head butting people, to slagging off and refusing to speak to journalists, to ducking fights, to wanting to move to the IoM to avoid tax, to slagging this country off and promoting his bonesawing paymasters country at every turn, one of the biggest hero to zero cases I can remember in my time watching sport.
Not sure how Fury thinks he won that fight, in my opinion it really wasn’t that close! Fury needs to get his weight back on if he’s going to beat Usyk.
It was close until Usyk had Fury break dancing. I doubt Fury will want a rematch. I think Fury will retire claiming he won the fight. Its a pity he's such a prick because he's a bloody good fighter.
It all depends on how you score those first four rounds. Very little seemed to be in them when watching live. Maybe I’ll have to rewatch the start because the commentary gave Usyk all four. I assumed Fury would do much more hugging and holding to tire out his opponent. That and the body shots I assumed was the plan. Way too many voices in Fury’s corner. God know why he’s got his Dad there. It was a great fight. Very high quality stuff from both. Not seen that quality in a matchup from both fighters probably since the Lennox v Holyfield fight.
I think the fight was just going fury's way and then Usyk smashed fury's nose and then had down in the next I think.
Delighted Fury lost, him and his family have shown their disdain for this country this week. John Fury: “ The British are traitors, we’ll never fight there again” We don’t want you anymore pal, you and AJ both now losers with Usyk the main character. Let the Saudis put up stupid money for two has been fighters.
I think it was the pace of the fight mainly. Fastest pace fight at this weight in a long time. Seemed to take it out of him a bit too much. Hard to know for sure on these things though.
Yes I think that was part of it but I think they were both feeling it. But Fury's whole demeanor seamed to change after he got his nose smashed it was probably broken stopping breathing through it.
With some talk of how good nations are across other sports, across all sports who would you have as the UK's best current athlete and the best of all time? Best current athlete I'd have Adam Peaty. I'm no expert on swimming but he's the most dominant swimmer ever in his discipline. I read that not only is he so dominant but that he's also doing it in the strongest field in the history of his discipline. Best of all time I'd have Steve Redgrave. He won gold medals in rowing in 5 consecutive Olympics from 1984-2000. He's the only male athlete across all olympic sports to achieve this. To remain at that high athletic level for so long is obviously extremely difficult. I'd give a special mention to Bobby Charlton. To achieve what he did after what happened to him at Munich was very special.
He was certainly involved in one of the most iconic moments in British sporting history The glory days Proper Sportsmanship Proper Athletes pic.twitter.com/ddZ70Ol6zW— DartsAnonymous (@anonymous_darts) November 16, 2022
