Did MAGA actually believe Trump wasn't in the Epstein files? He's literally the most photographed filmed celebrity with Epstein. I'm seeing in social media that theyre starting to suspect Trump might be in it. They used to not think that Trump was a pedophile, but now they don’t care. Just moved on...

Yes that and that international league really isn’t a thing and the Kangaroos dominate that anyway. State of Origin and the NRL are the most important things in Australian rugby league. I guess it’s similar to America’s NFL in terms of importance of the domestic game (although there’s no real inter...

Tomorrow mad Ed Milliband is going to lock in high electricity prices for a generation. He must be stopped soon. Is this to do with dropping the plan to bring in zonal spot pricing? No massive increase in the contract pricing for wind and solar…. Taking over 1/3 of our electricity prices in net zer...

Wouldn't EMP suggestions be more about cutting the drones off from their operator and any nav or control systems rather than the engine? It would. I was just havin' a larf re dredging up old motors more robust to EMP. (That said, AFAIK it's not a lay-down misere that electronic ignition motors woul...

Still some tickets available. No bronze seating, but silver can be picked up for the bargain price of $360.

Which then leads to a further discussion of how to mount a successful assault in this environment. Going into the teeth of a drone dominated lanscape is massively difficult. Only possible from either adopting the Russian perspective being willing to accept enormous casualties, or working on new com...

"Immoral"? Yes, in some ways. Used by the far left. And, opportunistically, by the "no developing nations migrants at all costs" far right.

Perhaps. That might just help. If doctors were to be made liable to pay the TRUE COST of their professional training upon emigration rather than an airy fairy "notional" cost, perhaps we might see better retention? Hopefully enough doctors would train on that basis, with only wealthier students stu...

Was such a deflating game. It really was like a pub team v a proper team. After about 10 minutes it was obvious what was going to happen and concentration turned to the stadium beers. I wish they could have had more prep time together. Seems like a waste of a game. Exactly how I feel. Unfortunately...

Palestinian negotiators - "We will release all living and dead hostages if you release X Palestinians in detention, withdraw the IDF from Gaza and stop the air and artillery strikes.”

GOOD:

LSL

Bad:

Everyone else.

Frizell would have been in the good category but for his shit discipline.

One of Lukhan’s best games for a while. Actually, one of his first games for a while, IIRC.

That maybe true, but the way those pundits were carrying on was frankly cringeworthy. I don't think they were even convincing themselves, maybe just some yanks who know nothing about it and a bunch of die hards back home living in an echo chamber. It's a bizarre code inferiority complex. Yous never...

Will the ref find a few penalties for AUNZ in the last 10 minutes to even it up on paper? I reckon he might.

Nah, either of the history making Welsh hookers are handy (geographically) He won’t be needed until a week on Wednesday so geography isn’t much of an issue With most positions this statement is correct but front row is different and whoever is called up will need to be able to cover the test match....

I find it hard to believe he wouldn't be, if he's being brought on in an official capacity. He's not doing it out of the kindness of his heart... If he's getting paid that's extremely dodgy.

Yeah I still think he was a big loss. He was probably the most talented of all thy flyhalves we had. Reminded me so much of Larkham. He also had bloody good tackling and breakdown skills for a flyhalf. There were erratic parts to his game but I think those were down to composure and could have been...
