I mean, it’s a stronger argument if you think we have to, but I think it’s muddied by the different number of teams who qualify for each tournament (and the number of UCL teams who fall into the Europa League after being eliminated etc). Personally I don’t think the winners of the second-most...

Well English teams have won the Champions League every other year dating back to 2018 (a different team every time as well, in case you were worried about it being boring). Over the 20 year period you mentioned, there have been nine Spanish champions (Barca and Real) and six English ones. I...

Every top league has these kind of dud fixtures…

So you think Real Madrid or Dortmund would win the Premier League this year? I think knockout tournaments are kind of an inexact science for judging this kind of thing. English teams have done pretty well in them for the last 20 years regardless!

When people talk about “the best league in the world”, I take it to mean the complete package - quality and entertainment etc I’m not sure in any case that the last 20 years of European competition makes a conclusive argument against the English league being the best and most successful (unless...

The most entertaining league IS the best league, surely?

Don't think you can really write off an entire league based on certains teams having a shocker in a knockout tournament. And I don't really understand the constant desire to talk down English football.

I assume LG knows that, which is why he didn’t mention any specific political parties. It was you who decided to take issue and try and apportion blame to individual groups. I needn’t have said anything if you hadn’t, but if you don’t like being called out on stuff, don’t post on a discussion...

Didn’t mean to make you feel insecure about your fave YouTuber!

I didn’t watch the video, so I’m only talking about the messenger really.

Neither Liquid Gold’s post, nor the New Yorker article mention a single political party at any point. The article certainly doesn’t look to apportion blame to any political party, so not sure why you’d get upset about this - but then again you haven’t read it.

Whether or not this ends up as one of them, there are all kinds of examples of miscarriages of justice being exposed by individual pieces of journalism.

To be on the side of my profession? The idea that I would take “sides” with a woman convicted of murdering children out of some weird loyalty to a journalist I’ve never met is pretty ridiculous - go back and look at the posts I’ve made questioning the media’s coverage of this case to date...

I gotta admit, I know this is a truly disturbing case to consider, but I thought after the Mr Bates vs the Post Office stuff there would be a bit more skepticism over the workings of the British legal system. And I certainly didn’t expect people to openly come out and say “The case took a long...

What’s my agenda? Bizarrely dismissive thing to say given you openly admit to not even trying to read the piece. I’m glad you have that much faith in the justice system though!

Are you a regular viewer of Napolitano’s show? He has quite the career history.

The article is most interesting to me not because it provides a smoking gun to her guilt/innocence, but because it casts so much doubt on a story that the media would have you believe was sewn up long ago. I don’t see how people could confidently predict this was an “open and shut” case (let...

The article goes over the discrepancies with the high insulin levels - and the feasibility of whether it could be used to murder a baby - in detail, citing multiple medical experts.

The prosecution claimed she may have used a plastic medical tube to injure one of the babies: Lucy Letby trial: Medical tool may have injured baby, expert says Your version of the photos story sounds like it’s untrue: Lucy Letby sent couple a photo of their baby - and they spotted chilling detail

One of the central themes of the article is the tendency to look for a compelling, coherent and obvious explanation for something horrific and often unexplainable. The defence argued that her writing those words was the stream-of-consciousness ramblings of an overworked nurse crumbling under...
