The greatest as yet unfilmed Bond villain lair.

ok, yeah, my nephews are like that. One is Liverpool, one, outrageously, is Utd.

Are you from Merseyside?

I want to say
That you have
Fed me some
Dreamies
But it will
Never be enough
However many
You feed me

Yeah second vote for Morocco and I think Marrakech is the shortest distance from LHR for the most otherworldly experience one can have.

Regulation is the solution for an outfit such as this. Probably ones that inconvenienced the directors as much as possible.

my boy has no compunction about correcting me. But these days he’s got to innocently patronising me when I pronounce something correctly in French 😱

Yeah, what would they care for clean air when they could have prosperity?

I think the death of Diogo Jota and the failure to sign Guehi explains much of it. Overachieved last season; huge change and trauma overhang this season = this.

I’m starting to think the Richard Hughes connection = Iraola as replacement/contingency.

Yes but will market forces which drive sensible economic policies really play on main street when people could be burning more coal?

The shift is, as I've been saying, due to demographic change, something you seem to be ignoring.

Best estimates are that around 3m of the 17m who voted leave have since died.

That's a massive shift and does not require the test in your second sentence.

Turns out he didn’t need to. 🤪😖😖

The irony being is that the man most guilty of promoting the original sin is currently the one leading the polls for idiotic reasons.

America is American. They do things differently there.

"America is British" is so far from any form of reality as to provoke concerns for the speaker's sanity.

People and voters are complicated; I understand the desire to pigeonhole but it massively impedes insight.

And if you think Reform can win the election on their demographics and Farage at the head, I have a bridge to sell you.

Again, viewing British or English majority opinion as “they” is a little too pat. There has been enormous demographic change since Brexit and ascribing the different voter sentiment to “they’re like Trump voters” really misses the mark.

No idea - it’s more around building a trip around a memorable food experience! 🙂
