1st sentence - Their huge expensive monster PR department will make sure that never happens. Don't know about that second sentence, needs to be backed up with some evidence.

I see now there is talk about Independence for Wales. Seen that on the BBC. Leaving UK is viable says new report??

Good post, we'll agree to disagree. who else posted the full hour comment, just out of interest?

You mentioned still eroded from the pandemic response, I didn't. Drinking on trains couldn't really be described as a right? Unless you are one of these people that argue the toss with rail staff about it because they can't go a full hour without alcohol passing their lips. Maybe they should ban alcohol in Parliament, some of these decisions and that behaviour from our politicians jeeezz.? Explains a lot. Doubt there was ever a ban on alcohol there during the pandemic. I'm right in a ranty f**king mood today

Looks like tomorrow the House of Lords will be discussing the UK-Rwanda treaty before moving onto the bill's second reading on the 29th. Be interesting to see if the House of Lords understand the implications of breaking one of the core principles of International Law, the UK Government already prepared to break our own law on Non-Refoulement with no shits given. Cleverly's Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration ) Bill looks good on paper to those eyes that needed to be convinced but once those planes touch down it might very well be a completely different story out of sight from the British public. All very well reassuring, but how many more lies and smoke screens by the current UKG does it take to convince everyone that, its not going to be alright, its never going to be alright. we are seeing the erosion of core laws that are in place to protect human rights just because a dozen or so politicians take illegal migrants landing on our shores personally. It shows up even our own rights in the UK are fragile and at the whim of our politicians, we know this from the pandemic.

I've been looking for this quote - "I've been crystal clear repeatedly that I won't let a foreign court stop us from getting flights off and getting this deterrent up and running," Sunak said, according to Sky News. "The bill specifically contains a power that makes clear that ministers are the ones that make these decisions. Parliament has supported that." "[The bill also] makes it perfectly clear that the domestic courts should respect that decision. I would not have put that clause in the bill if I was not prepared to use it. So, look, if you're asking me are there circumstances in which I will ignore rule 39, then the answer is clearly yes." Heard this a couple of days ago and I was half listening to it on BBC, the word foreign caught my attention when used in this context. Doesn't it make you proud to be British standing up to and ignoring these pesky foreign senior courts with their soft feather bed liberal ideals?

Good to see the diddy parties represented on here. However sadly a lot of these parties are out of their depth against the big boys so may I suggest for fair competition that from the next General Election there should be two divisions with the most popular parties in the top flight, 12 parties should be enough and the smaller parties in the second with promotion and relegation between the two every four years, say 2 up, 2 down. Of course the Champions can't qualify for Europe any more.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-67654360 tories want people like her out of the country. lived in the uk for 40+ years, married here, raised children here, ran a business here, paid taxes and now receives a pension. 74 years old. this should not even be questioned by the authorities. never mind her missing deadlines, it should never be like this in the first place. where is she going to go since all her whole family is here, rwanda? yep! brexit strikes again.

i missed the game on saturday, is welsh done or does he just lack match sharpness? seen he was one of the subs along with longstaff and sheridan. could be a busy january for us, hope so. we could do with an improved standard of competition for places in the starting 11.

minor blip last saturday, this is still work in progress and we are still on the way back up to the sharp end of the championship. normal service should be resumed.

australia is said to be being the only so called democracy that uses this technology on the public, the tech was used during the covid-19 pandemic. their security agency there were keen to use it to not just to filter porn users but also on gambling sites and then onto when you are using everyday - online banking, using your mobile, laptop etc just basically everything that would require online personal security like a password to access. its going to become the norm eventually, inevitable. seen lots of articles from 2019, this is not a new story. one example below https://www.9news.com.au/national/department-of-home-affairs-face-scans-for-porn-watchers/3358eff0-74b9-4e1f-8bb3-184fee60b642 not sure if this went through as many proposals of this time would have been put on hold due to the pandemic. meanwhile in la-la land we jump in to be world leaders in something, anything. of course absolutely none of our politicians are heavy users and or have accounts on porn sites and regularly splaff/throw money at content creators rather than they would donate a similar amount to a good charity or to help poor people get though the financial crisis in this country, of course not. ? also-

Bird feeders on tree next to shrubs, perfect cover for a cat to sneak up on feeding birds.

not sure where to put this, this will do. off the normal treaded path on this thread here for anyone who likes games with snow or in snow or too a point where a player would have to dig a trench in the snow first before passing the ball to a team mate. i see that the bayern game was postponed yesterday due to a huge dumping of the white stuff, as were games in austria and switzerland. in poland, a couple of ekstraklasa matches, korona kielse vs lech poznan and the attempted piast gliwice v puszcza niepołomice game which only got as far as 14 and half minutes before the conditions were too much. btw i like the match balls, that orange and black with a touch of silver design, nice. we don't get to see a winter match ball very often here in scotland.

raith rovers will be massive favourites for this on form and the fact they have over double the points inverness has. nothing short of a 5-0 nil away win and a dominant display by raith will do. anything less would be an embarrassment.

certainly no one here would be impressed by an economy ran like the finland model. high taxes but a high standard of living in return. that library in helsinki is something else.

noticed the new witch doctor voodoo threads from usa had been deleted. tried to explain that black magic can't cross moving water and that the sales pitch was all scuffed because of that, but i was too slow. well, it was something you don't see everyday.
