When Ron was a boy, his London was being bombed by the race-obsessed Nazis...and some of the people who saved us where Empire & Commonwealth soldiers & airmen. Maybe he might want to dwell on that.

Why Arsenal's 3-0 win is bad news for Arsenal... ...while Man City's 4-1 deafeat is good news for City. According to the Telegraph.

The Trump govt told Ukraine the restrictions on Starlink/Starshield was done by Elon Musk. Elon Musk has now told Ukraine the restrictions on Starlink/Starshield was done by US Govt. One (or possibly both) is lying.

Im always intrigued theres only 17 years from end of "Yes Minister" series to start of "The Thick of It". In a universe in which both exist, a graduate joining in 1980s would be working in a 1950s looking world..but be in his early 40s in "The Thick of it" world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz4b...

Its doable. 1. No self inflicted mistakes 2. No ridiculing former Leave Voters 3. Broadest possible coalition around EU & Single Market 4. Include those 'moving slower than you' on EU integration It really is doable.

US is now in a relationship with Russia & China - the 2 main sponsors of Iran...which the USA is fighting. This is why Iran war is dragging on so long. Trump cant commit to win a war against Iran as that breaks the alliance. Neither can he admit defeat. & XI & Putin are happy to watch USA bleed..

Man City & its fans can come back from what happened in the boadroom. Accept the verdict, do the time & the come back could be incredible fun. But this. You wont come back from this. You cant blame board/owners for this. This is City's own fans making *their own club* toxic. Why would you do this?

An incredible story. In 1946 a 12-year-old local boy kicked a ball under manager George Allison’s car outside Highbury - he was given a matchday messenger job.....he never left. Ken Friar aged 92 - now president of Arsenal - gets his own statue...as the 12 year old boy who joined the club in 1946.

Typical Daily Express readers are circa 69 years old. Theres a decent chance, delicately put, that many readers will not vote in the rejoin referendum & by time UK could enter the EURO in a couple of decades will have long stopped voting. Rejoin will be decided by swing voters not Express readers.

The "57% believe UK was wrong to leave the EU" actually underestimates the anti Brexit feeling. Its 57% of people (of the 87%) who expressed a preference. In other words those who believe the UK was wrong to leave the EU is likely well over 60%.

This needs to be said unfortunately yet again: Man City is not the victim here. Banter can be harsh, but what City has done is brought the Premier League to the brink of ruin. Much of the last 2 decades was simply a lie. That is worse than banter ever is. Stop your self pity. Accept the medicine.

Another "good thing" is its forced me to reasess Wenger. The guy essentially spent a decade running Arsenal at a profit to pay stadium while oligarchs were throwing billions around. Without Chelsea & Man City cheating billions there was a good extra 4 league titles in play during Wenger's reign.

Its hard to explain to people under 35 how deeply weird Britain has become. Im not that old but I can remember a country where politicians discussed policies on Newsnight... ...and topless models did photo shoots for disreputable magazines bought up by nervous young men.

This article only makes sense if you deep down believe there is no longterm electoral majority for right wing parties. Perhaps Janet Daley is right.

Tom Harwood seems to be confusing the UK with Bermuda and The Azores. "Europe" is a short train ride away from the UK and 20 odd miles by boat. We share a land border with it. Its also to the North, East, South & West of us.

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

I never mind people criticising my club or a bit of banter It can be good fun. Its the sheer idiotic ignoance that grates. A decade struggling while having to make a profit to pay off the stadium debt - a stadium they built themselves. & then another decade watching a $1Billion cheat club.

Guardiola 1. Inherited a Barca team with Messi, Inesta, Busquets, Henry, Eto'o & Xavi in a 2 team league 2. Managed Bayern in a 1 team league 3. Managed World's richest club which cheated to astronomic financial levels Guardiola's legacy: Never managed a team cleanly in a competitive league.
