Who would have thought that Scotland would score not only 4 goals, but 3 would be top drawer?!!!!

It's going to take a handful of brave US politicians to stand up against Trump's cult & start uncovering the truth before it's too late.

It won't be easy, or without risk, but it has to start somewhere.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

This should go everywhere- and far beyond “us”, because we understand the horrors of this.
Amazingly - many don’t.

If he is guilty of what he is accused of, hopefully one day he'll only have a cell mate & some guards!
The Andrew, formerly known as Prince, will only have his dogs, horses, domestic staff, the local gulf club, and the vast Sandringham estate to keep him company.

Pray for him.

Poor Nigel & his sense of entitlement. Why should he have to abide by the rules like everyone else? So he goes on 'strike' as a result.

Yet his record on workers rights isn't great!

This result on its own should make Labour sit up and take note. They are going down the wrong track and need to change quickly.

"Does the ECHR stop states from controlling their borders?"

No. The ECHR Court emphasises migration policies are up to states themselves.

"But the ECHR stops the UK from deporting foreign criminals."

No, it doesn't.

Successful human rights-based appeals against deportation are very rare.

The very same company that are quietly buying up social housing sites in the UK.
BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

Do you think that if Europe win 3 or 4 of these games, Trump will be sending ICR to the Ryder Cup overnight?

Is this the President threatening his own people?
"War ravaged Portland" alone should trigger the 25th Amendment. Ridiculous
Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

The downward spiral offers few signs of changing.

To keep trying the same tactics when they aren't working is madness.

But the inability of these players to be able to adapt is equally as embarrassing,.
Btw even if MUFC change manager.

We still have Shaw, Dalot etc.

The fact is we still have some atrociously damaging players that we seem to be relying on
September 27, 2025 at 2:22 PM
So by this explanation, are they saying that any player running onto a pass when through on goal is not in control of the ball?
