A ridiculous policy in terms of cost and morality. If the airlines have anything about them they'll refuse to get involved. I certainly won't be flying with any company that involves their planes in this shit show...... Top virtue signalling Prestwich 👏👏👏 Are you suggesting that the real reason he won't be putting his money anywhere near said airline(s), is because he wishes to appear virtuous to a handful of dudes on some remote football message board, rather than because he has some actual principles?

Yep, we've got people who don't even live in London, arrogant enough to tell Londoners that they deserve what they've voted for ... And we have people who think that they can speak and even think for other people... What on earth are you talking about knype, I've quoted his very words?

Conservative reverses in the Brexit Strongholds of Blackpool South, Hartlepool and Thurrock, Rushmore, Redditch etc demonstrate that nobody believes in the Sunlit Uplands vision anymore.
Absolutely.
And I think it's actually more than not believing in Johnson's 'Sunlit Uplands' anymore but rather, it's realising that the working class has been taken for a ride, yet again and the Tories treachery isn't going to be forgotten ...

London deserves all it gets.. only trouble is what happens in London tends to spread everywhere else eventually. So it deserves to be the most affluent part of the country with the most jobs and opportunities for its residents?

Think you've hit the nail on the head there mate. We obviously don't have an infinite amount of money to spend in the summer and it's all very well saying that signing Hoever is a no brainer. When actually, it totally is. For me, there are far more positions in the team crying out for money to be spent on it, than right back. By way of example, if Schumacher has a left back and a striker in his sights, which, if he's successful, leaves him with just £4 million left to spend, I wonder would most people like to see (based on the personnel that we already have currently) that money spent on Hoever of Cundle? 2 centre halves 🤣
Indeed.
That's exactly the point I'm making, if we're going to be spending (a limited amount of) money, there's positions all over the pitch that are far more critical to address, than right back at the minute.

Junior and Gooch should be enough on the Right. It’s the Left-back position which needs sorting first.

Wolves' representatives were at the game, no doubt enjoying what they saw, and it suggests they want him themselves. Could have been looking at Cundle
Really hope not, on today's performance!

Iversen - 8 - made 2/3 excellent saves Hoever 7 - steady McNally 7 - solid Wilmot 7 - solid Stevens 6 - I’m being petty cos he didn’t smash it in when he had the goal at his mercy Thompson 8 - cut out a lot in front of the back 4 Laurent 7 - some good stuff Cundle 9 - outstanding all round performance Manhoef 9 - 2 amazing goals Campbell 7 - cracking finish Junho 9 - flicks, tricks, tackles, passing, give him the world Burger 6 - steady Sidibe 7 - doesn’t look out of place. Really impressive cameo. Leris 6 - was fine Lowe 6 - some nice lay offs but think you can see the difference between him and Sidibe in terms of quality. Junior 6 - was fine
Agree with these completely.

I'd say a lot of it is because the pressure was off rather than anything tactical. Sure we've played well recently but not as free or as loose as that. That's football sadly.
Exactly.
If we'd gone into that game today knowing we needed a point before it started, there's not a chance we would have played the same.
Cundle is the perfect example of somebody who comes into his own, once the pressure is off him.

Knife lead for the UK my arse! He's nothing more than a pitiful grifter, who realised, that by exploiting his time in the London Transport Police and adopting a host of right wing soundbites, he could quickly make himself a few quid. He's been at it for twenty years, indeed as far back as 2003, the Police Federation said this about him ... The association that represents 135,000 officers, does not share his views and wrote 18 months ago to news organisations saying PC Brennan does not represent anyone's views but his own. One federation member said: "He causes a huge amount of irritation. He gives outrageous soundbites and simplistic solutions to complex issues. I don't think he represents the views of many officers."
One of Mr. Brennan's latest, considered tweets this evening ...
He's an absolute charlatan, pandering to a very specific audience, who lap it up, it seems.
Fair play to him, I guess ...
I’d still say he has more experience of knife crime and the more dangerous sides of London than the experts on here so is more qualified than most and he lives in London too most importantly.
Well I suppose he does have that going for him but I thought you didn't place much stock in what the actual residents of London have to say about the place Cobs?

Very powerful stuff from the knife lead for the U.K. Who made him 'knife lead'? Not that knife crime isn't obviously very important but there's something that kills 20 times more people every single year in this country that nobody sems to want to talk about, especially politicians 🤷

This case polarises opinions like no other, and I for one don't mind the money spent because I really want to know happened. Many people dislike the McCanns - calling them posh self publicists etc, but put yourself in their position, would you not do whatever it takes to keep the investigation alive ? I've spent many weeks in Praia da Luz and know the apartment and the surrounds very well. The distance from the restaurant to the bedroom isn't much more than leaving your child asleep in a bedroom whilst you bbq at the bottom of your garden at home, who hasn't done that ? This idea that people from a different class would be prosecuted for child neglect just because their young child goes missing doesn't hold water, nobody has ever come up with an example.
I agree and disagree with you ...
"This idea that people from a different class would be prosecuted for child neglect just because their young child goes missing doesn't hold water"
I don't think the class accusation is about people being *prosecuted* (the police are ultimately going to need evidence regardless of the class of the potential suspects) but rather, it is about what the reaction of MSM and the public would have been, had the parents been (say, call centre or supermarket workers) Gary and Tracy from Abbey Hulton, who had been down the karaoke bar that evening. There's not the slightest doubt in my mind, that it would have been massively different, even though the tragedy of the case would have been just as horrific.
But where I do agree with you ...
"put yourself in their position, would you not do whatever it takes to keep the investigation alive ?"
Absolutely. And to me, this has always been the 'smoking gun' that (almost certainly) proves their innocence. If you were responsible for committing a major, heinous crime wouldn't you want to (once the heat has died down) want the investigation to drop off the radar as quickly as possible?
Yeah, initially play the role of the grieving parents, in order to avoid suspicion but once you've got away with that one, why on earth would you pursue it again and again and again, constantly attempting to shine a spotlight on the crime, surely the more that you do do this, the more likely that ultimately, you'll create just enough interest to recover the evidence that will ultimately nail you. If you knew for a fact that she was dead (and that you were the perpetrators) , why on earth would you keep attempting to ensure that the world keeps on digging?

The real smoking gun is when witnesses watching this omnishambles realises that the "I'm Stupid" defence isn't working and moves onto the "I was only following orders" defence and starts naming names. Of course there is sufficient evidence already to prosecute several Post Office, Fujitsu employees and Lawyers and we haven't got to the main Stars of the Show yet. If it saves their own skins though, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just name names. Do Singh and vdB love Vennells that much they wouldn’t even contemplate throwing her under the bus? A long shot of speculation on my part. But have they all sat down together with their with their legal representatives and come to the conclusion, that if one blabs, then it'll set off a chain reaction and they will all individualy end up in jail and ultimately, the only way they can avoid that eventuality, is to close ranks in an organised conspiracy of defence?

There is literally no level of ineptitude these charlatans will sink to in order to try and distance themselves. "I don't know how to save a document" Fuck off 😒 I am absolutely gobsmacked by the way he is acting. I’ve never seen a witness avoid questions so ineptly before. It’s really quite stunning. How on earth did he ever become the head of legal? It's absolutely embarrassing how stupid he is.

Boris is smarter than he gets credit for. He's a very calculated man who we've all seen scruff himself up to try and give a disheveled look which some find endearing. He was PM when the elections act 2022 was introduced. I don't think he's dumb enough to do this. The fact he brought an envelope with his name and address on it shows that it was pre meditated. Wonder if it's some stunt and will be used to try and give confidence in the changes imposed in the gerrymandering election act 2022. There's defo a play of some sort here. Even I know he's not that thick.
Really don't think it's to do with him being thick or making a play.
Rather, it's just another example of privilege and him believing that the rules couldn't ever apply to him, after all, he was/still is, the King of the World!

Spot on mate. If my memory serves me right, we actually lived extremely close to each other (albeit at different times) on the edge of Tulse Hill/Herne Hill. I absolutely love Ladbroke Grove, the last company I worked for was based just off it. I have always been a staunch Labour voter too but I'm no fan of Khan either. Yes I'm still in the middle of Norwood Road Paul, renting of course but it's still a great place to live. What was the company in Ladbroke Grove if you don't mind me asking? Amato Music Distribution, the original company, long gone now I'm afraid mate.

Just catching up with this, are you talking about Martin Smith? Cheers Yep - in connection that they new that Jenkins was saying that there were problems in the software and Smith knew this and he should have reported it ("to the Police") as it was perjury - and therefore Smith is implicit Absolutely.

Vennels and Angela coaching him. Anyway bring your popcorn it will be a car crash tomorrow. The bloke in the box tomorrow appeared before and was a shambles. Deserves jail time. It was so bad if it wasn't so serious you'd mistake his last appearance as a comedy skit. i think the car crash is happening now Just catching up with this, are you talking about Martin Smith? Cheers

London is the best city in the world. And I have been to lots.The thing is, it always has been. I go there once every week or maximum every other and in Central London its honestly the best there is. I witnessed a guy having his phone stolen last week by them scooter gangs. There is zero deterrent in London currently and I'd love to know them stats by postcode. For instance I'd agree W1-3 is extremely safe but there is without doubt some areas you just wouldn't go to now. I live in South London and work in West London, Ladbroke Grove/Notting Hill. I can categorically say there is not one single area of London that I would think twice about going to because I feel unsafe. Most of us are probably from Stoke and I can only imagine the reason I read stuff like that on this thread is because we're not used to every other area being a bit more like Shelton which is fine and I get it but they're absolutely not unsafe. For what it's worth, I haven't voted today and won't be. I am a staunch Labour supporter whether it be Corbyn or Starmer, hate the Tories, hate the Greens in fact. I would never vote for Sadiq Khan though. Spot on mate. If my memory serves me right, we actually lived extremely close to each other (albeit at different times) on the edge of Tulse Hill/Herne Hill.
