    I'm well on board with the suggestion. Less football and more being told that he's got himself in a great position to meet it and he'll be happy with his finish there.

    Doesn't matter what the public think. The kids, you know, the future, they're all watching Brighton-Ipswich highlights on Tik Tok. Real time, on the go. We need to stay relevant, by giving Danny Murphy much more of a national TV platform.

    Surprised that they haven't adopted the ESPN NFL/NBA approach of having people shouting on top of each other in one minute rounds followed by five minutes of ads. Rinse and repeat for 20 hours per day. The people love it.

    I've finally come around to why he's doing all this, which is that he wants to ally with Russia against China. Which is absolutely stupid, because the other two (Putin and Xi) are far craftier politicians than he and will fuck him over, but it's the best theory I have read to date.

    I hadn't heard this one, but having looked it wouldn't surprise me for one single second if he had been on Russia's payroll. Just because of who he is, if not what he's done so far in his second term. And on that note, you can survive many things, but as Liz Truss found out, fuck with the markets and you're done.

    The idea that this moron could be an intelligence agency mole for 40 years is wacko shit I'm afraid. More likely he just genuinely admires Putin because he's 'strong' or whatever. He adores the strong and hates the weak.

    Oh I wouldn't necessarily believe he's at it now, but 40 years ago? Trump being courted by a state and going for it? I could absolutely see it.

    I saw the headline "Starmer to abolish NHS England" and was fairly certain that it meant he didn't mean he was abolishing the NHS in England, but that's a pretty lol headline to open yourself up to.

    Pricing zonally depending on what it costs to produce electricity there, i.e. if you live next to a wind farm it'll be cheap.

    It's Octopus that are really pushing it:

    If Scotland got the cheapest power in Europe, wouldn’t that mean other people’s bills would be much higher? No.

    Regional pricing could bring bills down by hundreds in every region of Great Britain, with average households saving anywhere between Ł11 to Ł240 each year. In fact, switching to regional pricing could save us up to Ł53bn over the next 15 years.

    People across the country, whether they live near a renewable power source or not, would benefit massively from this change because it’d make our system vastly more efficient.

    We wouldn't need to spend millions of pounds to pay renewable generators not to generate, pay expensive and dirty gas to turn on, and export our renewable generation to our neighbours even when we need it, all whilst pushing prices up in Britain.

    It’d make far better use of the renewables we have to: instead of paying turbines to stop spinning, zonal pricing could enable suppliers like us to create new tariffs and projects. Ones that would encourage customers to use more local power with rewards like cheap, or even free electricity.


    Plus, people in areas with a lower population density pay much higher standing charges right now, so the cheaper power they would benefit from with zonal pricing would make their prices much fairer.

    Sounds good to me. Presumably it would also discourage nimbys from blocking new windmills and stuff being built.

    Get it done.

    I mean, you should never be singing the anthem of another country, should you?

    Always seems ridiculously cringe whenever anyone does it.

    Carsley performatively not doing so equally as bad, mind.

    Still saddened that Tuchel is England manager. Even more so when I see he's recalled Hendo and Walker. Unless they are there for some specific old man cheerleader role.

    If you have it as three separate statements only one of them is 'bad' and even then it's more daft than actually bad - Keep Woke Foreign!

    Ideologies out sounds like a sensible policy, particularly for that lot and Defend Europe is a sensible foreign policy objective.

    The footage of Nicholas Prosper buying a shotgun from a bloke in a car park is mad. I know they're not known for their morals but a gun dealer must give that lad one look and think, "This cunt's going to shoot up a school."
