    Alkaline Attacks

    According to the Beeb, he was NOT eligible to be granted asylum under the regulations in force at the time. Whoever did grant it should be sacked and their civil service pension revoked!

    F1 2024

    Ferrari's share price rose by 9% (£7bn) on the news. WHY? Do they think people are going to rush out and buy a new SF90 just because their F1 team have signed an over-the-hill over-rated has-been? I'm baffled! He surely cannot be THAT vital to the brand!

    Things that annoy you

    Or the release of those stupid chinese lanterns at vigils, etc. Fucking ridiculous fire and environmental hazard. Why have people got to be seen to be doing something? Just reflect and talk - if you are able!

    The official NFL Thread

    I see Philly have hired Vic Fangio as Defensive Coordinator following their epic collapse at the end of the regular season and the wild-card game against the Ravens. I don't think Fangio's record was particularly impressive this season at Miami, and their defense allowed more than 400 yards to...

    Cricket 2024

    Hyderabad wasn't exactly packed to the rafters, sadly, for such a cricket-loving nation. Funny that this series is being played in more provincial cities rather than the better-known megapolis places we are more familiar with. I have been to India a couple of times, and i have never heard of...

    49ers were bloody lucky! 24-7 down then win 34-31. Unlucky for Detroit, who have never (?) made the Super Bowl.

    Cricket 2024

    That match had parallels with the 1981 Ashes test at Headingley, where we had a huge 1st innings deficit (albeit forced to follow-on) and Botham scored 149 in the second innings which contributed to a lead to bowl at, then Willis took that 8 for 43. But to do it in India, with Hartley on debut...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    The ICJ's rulings are binding but there is no mechanism for them to be enforced, apparently. It's a bit like the French passing a law saying that you have to carry breathalysers in your car but never actually enforcing it! I won't bother carrying any then!

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    International Court of Justice has issued its provisional ruling on the genocide case brought by South Africa. Of course, the IDF will simply ignore it and there is little anyone can do about it other than tut and shake their heads! Here are the provisional measures the court has made: Israel...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Sounds like there could be grounds for Notts Police to be referred to the IOPC. Incidentally, what a total balls by Norfolk Police and mental health teams on this sad case near Norwich. Multiple opportunities to answer his cries for help were missed and now four people are dead, including two...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Is there still a perception that the Special Hospital Service is a cushy number compared to a Cat A HMP? I haven't spent time in either, but in recent times, the purpose of being in prison is to be rehabilitated not punished, so they probably aren't much different. As Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    So leaving the political bickering aside (please, FFS!), what do we think of his sentence and the families' objections to it? I understand the Attorney General is considering asking the "leniency" to be reviewed. My thoughts:- 1. Yes, it's an abhorrent series of acts 2. He clearly has severe...

    The fucking cheek of the IDF to say it has been fabricated! Coonts!

    Fucking hell. The murderous bastards. There are few things that upset me in the news, but that has got me. That is a war crime, NO two ways about it.

    Showing support for Palmer on Friday

    If City could persuade the Wednesday management to do the usual announcement of "Racism and other forms of intolerance have no place in football or in wider society, etc, etc" then take the knee it would show those cunts up who would boo it!

    I don't think there is any call for this. Shown yourself up as a tit. I've only blocked 2 members in the 9 years i have been on SBT. Well done on being number 3.
