Fair play. I always admired that guy. He epitomises the "size of the fight in the dog" thing. It's easy to be huge and be a tough. It's hard to be small and tough. He has real brass. You've just described most half-backs. How can it? The words "Mouthy little gobshite" didn't appear in his post?

The US Military budget is ridiculous, outspending the next 14 countries is mental. I'm sure much is skimmed off the top too, didn't some r...

In political elites, you'd be right. Maybe media (where I think a lot just kept quiet out of fear of cancelation). But not the wider public.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cq8zyn041llo Looks like the new boss of the IOC will be looking at making women's sports protected for females. All in all very sensible. No doubt the far-right will find something else to be outraged about. I care not for what the far right think. In t...

Rosie Galligan is engaged to Marley Packer. I have to say that's quick from Marley from her old marriage to a new one.

I did laugh at Trump calling Israel and Iran f**king idiots today

Well done to OKC, a shame the Pacers suffered via injury but great series.

Many Iranians, including us, feel this is not our war. It has been forced on us by a corrupt regime that only has the support of maybe 10 to 20 percent of the population. The overwhelming majority are completely against it. Our government is truly the number one enemy of the Iranian people. It has ...

Most successful Russian asset ever? Like I've said many, many times; it confounds me how people still have to think Trump is just some Russian plant and not he's obviously a shit, incompetent President with not an ounce of filter on him. It was a joke... being a foreign asset would require a level ...

No. Obama did not get impeached for bombing Libya either. Doesn't matter, impeachment is not even a big deal anymore because it has been used so many times. Word has lost it's meaning. Presidents can lie under oath and then tell us that it depends on what the definition of is, is. Much of that is t...

Nothing else to say

Has any US President been impeached for foreign wars? George Bush still walks around happily with both sides of the political establishment.

eldanielfire

Indeed. American liberals are conservative when compared to others around the world. That's not actually true. Your most "batshit insane" lefty in the USA is a centrist in Australia. I think you're mixing up "Lefty" and "liberal". In the past they often overlapped in their Venn diagram, but less so...

Neither team have won it before, but of the two the Thunder have a claim on a previous title (as the Sonics won one). If we're giving OKC credence for the Supersonics title surely we gotta give it to the Pacers for their ABA titles. I'm cheering on Pacers. Gotta back the underdog. I'm also supporti...

People will start to realise it has nothing to do with Islam. Then they'll realise that there aren't grooming gangs all over Europe. Then they will realise why our Pakistanis are different to everyone else's Pakistanis. I've heard Mirpur mentioned a couple of times on lbc today. Will become a house...

Whilst I've by no means taken up some of the positions attributed to me, by down-valuing some of the claims made by the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon, I have to say it now appears a fair chunk of my past input on this "grooming" issue has missed the point.

Well those fans who like to see women go into each other got their share last night

It's shocking that eye gouging in Rugby rightfully has a ban of many months, but it seems in the WNBA it's unsanctioned by refs.

Back onto the NBA, can the Pacers make it 7 games?

It's a shame there seems to be plenty of internal politics int he WNBA that they almost can't show any delight for the clear effective and boost in popularity in the sport after decades of almost nothing moving interest expect down. In fact many seem to despise her for it. Clarke is basically the B...

Thank you Baroness Casey! Let's not forget people like Sherblue and Corbyn Dallas were also strongly against an national enquiry and called people who supported an enquiry far right. I'd imagine it's people like these that were involved in the cover ups 'for the good of diversity'. Her headline fin...

Hadn't considered that. It's a best guess on my part. But numerous YouTube videos won't mentioned rape, even one that reports on news and an obvious rape is the subject, and always say the algorithm will screw them if they use it or they get demonetized. Which means it could also be down to adverti...

No women is XY , certainly not an “ordinary “ one. The rest of your diatribe is just,invented nonsense and has no basis in reality . Literally no basis at all.

Good. But I genuinely don't get the months of resistance to it and calling those who want it racists. It was obviously an easy winner to do it, but politicians so so out of touch and in a bubble they actually thought against it. Now they are doing it, they won't even get the public on their side fo...

So Starmer has finally accepted a national enquiry on the grooming gang scandal. I can see some of Labour council people and MPs involved in the cover ups being extremely nervous. I'd imagine weird plums like Sherblue are probably unhappy about the national enquiry. Good. But I genuinely don't get ...

media want the alliteration though. Raping ring or c unts club might be better.

It’s just a bit weird that you care so much about this and claim to know so much about the biology, etc. It just reminds me of those religious types that hate gays and then act surprised when they’re caught sucking off a homeless bloke.

Just wondering if the intelligence indicating Iran was minutes away from having a nuke is as watertight as the intelligence indicating the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza was the nerve center for Hamas?
