Took a buddy to Casamento’s years ago. His first time in New Orleans. Oysters arrived. We were about to dive in when he spotted a small writhing worm in one of them. He called over the waitress. “Aw, baby,” she said with a smile, already turning away, “you found the good luck worm.”

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

This factors in the Delap move, but not Fernandez's potential "record" transfer to Man City; however, even if the Argentinian did go to Manchester, Chelsea would end up having spent more than it earned from player sales, and by a considerable margin. This is pyramid spending, and can't end well.
