Oh dear, I wonder how they will spin this to tax us more and keep us within 15 minutes of our home/place of work?

Maybe the Germans can go to Paris instead? Lovely this time of year. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11946855/Riot-police-battle-thousands-protestors-Paris-streets-French-pension-reform-plans.html Seriously though, if you are put off travelling to a country because you have to show your passport to gain entry, you should probably stay at home. Presumably they are put off every country outside the EU? Or is this just another Brexit bashing article by The Guardian?

Given what's happening in Afghanistan right now, it could hardly be worse.

And yet the UK economy is rebounding from the challenges of Covid and the war in Ukraine very well. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/31/uk-avoids-recession-as-economy-stronger-than-first-thought-at-end-of-2022

True. But unfortunately for you (and the people of Afghanistan), Biden was in charge at the time the troops withdrew.

It's never his fault, is it? ???? Biden mis-managed the withdrawal. He was in charge at the time it was undertaken. Huge mistakes were made in the way it was handled. It was a complete shambles. He should own it.

Withdrawing was inevitable. They couldn't stay there forever. It was the the manner/handling of the withdrawal that was such a complete disaster. Leaving weapons, people behind etc. Joe should own it, not shout "he started it" like a child in the playground.

Predictable. Biden really needs to start owning his mistakes, like a grown up would.

Whataboutism. You're kidding yourself. The people of Scotland don't want it as shown in the referendum of 2014 as well as in recent polls taken last month. https://news.sky.com/story/snp-leadership-scottish-independence-support-at-just-39-poll-says-12832783 Your "vehicle" has broken down, it's been shown to be completely unroadworthy and the driver can't read a map. It's on the road to nowhere and will end up in a drainage ditch.

Oh dear. So surprised. The Scottish Nationalist Party always seemed so honest and benevolent ????. Another nail in the coffin of Scottish Independence. I hope he takes Nicola down with him. I guess this explains her sudden departure. At least they still have Humza ????.

In fairness to Chelsea they didn't wait 2 and a half years to get rid of him, like Utd did with Solskjaer. I guess that's why they haven't been waiting 11 years for a league title or 15 years for a Champions League title. But hey, the Carabao Cup is still really good. Kind of like a medal for "taking part" ????.

Nah. United's implosion was down to very poor choice of managers. Ten Hag seems more promising. You might even finish ahead of Brighton if you pull your finger out. Top 4 and the Carabao cup, that's a great season for Utd these days.

Terrible against Newcastle. Could have been 5 or 6. Should be an interesting run in to see who gets top 4. I thought United were pretty much guaranteed a top 4 spot a few weeks ago but it looks like it could be close after 1 point from a possible 9. I say United still get third or fourth, which given their current status as a cup team, would be a good season given their Carabao cup success. A bit fortunate that Liverpool and Chelsea self destructed though.

Good. 7 years served for shooting someone to death is a woeful sentence. Until he admits to deliberately shooting her he should remain behind bars. The "imagined burglar in the en-suite" excuse doesn't wash, he should admit what he did and apologize to the family.

Ah. The old "no smoke without fire" line. They wouldn't have locked him up for 3 months if they didn't have something on him, right ? I think Tate is an idiot but this is a hatchet job, pure and simple. Let them present their evidence. If they had anything it would have been leaked to the left wing press by now. But we hear nothing except rumours. His fan base will grow exponentially unfortunately.

Good to see him released from terrible conditions. There appears to be no evidence against him. He is guilty only of having the wrong opinions so continued incarceration is unjustified.

Not for me. Just rented a 2 bed terrace for 1300 GBP a month. The last tenant was paying 900. Can't say that's a real problem.

Thanks. I aim to please, especially when the audience is pearl clutching, self loathing, white, liberal, privileged Americans. I have a Patreon if you're interested? ????.

I'm not a huge cheerleader of the modern USA although I must admit I was in awe of it in the 80's. So no tears from me, just an extra order of popcorn as it rips itself apart.

No. Laughing because the US is destroying itself from within with Woke ideology, right vs left infighting and divisive identity politics that pits it's citizens against one another. This forum shows it every day. They don't need to do anything. The US is eating itself alive.

It's really sad to see how the US has fallen since it's heyday. I'm half expecting Trump to have to flee to Mexico, chased to the border by tanks with rainbow flags, commanded by Biden. The Russians and the Chinese must be laughing their behind's off.????

Yes, pertaining to the Stormy Daniels payments.

Offer sex and drugs and then complain when the people who turn up don't adhere to social etiquette. Reminds me of Thailand.

We both know what it's about. You pretending it could be something completely different is just a diversionary tactic and quite frankly boring so forgive me if I get back to more interesting conversations.

In other words, you also know it's about the Stormy Daniels payments ????.
