In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

The opening paragraph of Ed Sheeran's new statement is a great example of spineless both-sideism that will only annoy people even more
"I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy. There are too many wars across the world causing immeasurable pain, none of which should be tolerated"

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!
Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.

In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.

Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

All creative players had ebbs & flows productivity wise, but Barnesy just floated gracefully around a pitch looking effortless (it wasn't). Fab player, so excited when we got him, and Aldo (after losing Rushie for that year 😄) and Houghton & Beardsley in '87. Newbies think this lot are exciting..😉

Seen nothing from Kerkez distribution wise so far (1 PL goal, zero assists), playing him further up is not the solution. He was brought in primarily for his defensive acumen, his assist stats were bang average at Bournemouth (and at AK Alkmaar)...

#Konate needs out the door (and #Guehi in), when he arrived you could forgive the odd poor decision. But going off his feet at the weekend was bonkers, and just the latest clusterfuck. Does he have elite level physical attributes, 100%. But not the intelligence to marshal the defence when VVD goes..

RonanB @ronanb.bsky.social · 09/12/2025
Shite pitch, first touch, goal. #Barnesy could show the current lot a thing or two about touch (on the billard tables they have today). Drives me mental how many touches players want when they get posession, delaying, and then forced into backwards pass as a result... #LFC #OldSkool

Ekitike can play anywhere across the frontline, clearly got the skillsets to help out until we find a Diaz replacement. We're left with so little attacking threat on the left, Gakpo doesn't have the pace to trouble defences at top level, if he's to be utilised at all it should be closer to goal...

RonanB @ronanb.bsky.social · 09/12/2025
Stick him on the right, while Salah's in Morocco/unavailable for 8 Wks. Put Ekitike (who can play anywhere across the front line) on the left, and Isak through the middle (or rotate). Not a fan of Wirtz's free role, may have worked in Bundesliga but he's still adapating to more physical/pacy PL.

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

Dunno what was said st halftime to Irish team, but if anything they've been worse, and vs a team with a player short. Absolutely appaling across the park, from brainless solo carries, to passes to nobody. Just awful, and gifted win to Scottish side that couldn't believe their luck... #SCOvIRE #W6N

Carty is supposed to be the best tactical 10 #Connacht have, but he's killing his team with lack of game intelligence. Ball in play far too much for a match at altitude. He needs to kick tactically, give his forwards (especially) breathers. Can see Connacht falling away badly in 2nd half... #LIOvCON
