Look at the atrocities that Putin & Russia have committed against Ukraine. Russian soldiers butcher, & torture Ukrainian POWs. Raped Ukrainian women and children. Targeted children's cancer hospitals, bombed maternity wards.
Do not condone these war crimes? Russia and Putin must be held to account.

Vote, and stand with Ukraine and freedom. McCain would. Reagan would. General Marshall would. General Patton would. Appeasing Putin is repugnant and anti-American. Let's not forget that Russia is our adversary.

I beg the United States Senate & the U.S. House of Representatives to support Ukraine. Russia is our adversary, not a partner. Russia is a terrorist state, not a civilized country. Putin is a war criminal. The country that won WWII cannot be the country that rewards this generation's Hitler, Putin.

Why did Nuno bring on the useless Kraut and take off Wilson who always puts his heart and sole into the match? Well played Areola otherwise we would be in even more trouble. This is going to be a very difficult season with this squad of crap players! Need some changes in January URGENT.

What a disgrace Trump/Vance and the USA is, in making Ukraine surrender to a brutal adversary whilst calling it a settlement. They obviously have little regard in defending democracy.
Let’s hope Europe steps up.

Now that the LibDems are below the Greens in the polls, will Ed Davey realise that appearing stand-up at live at the Apollo is not the way to get the public’s support? Time for LibDem MPs to call time on his hopeless leadership.

Lady Clementine was talking to a street sweeper. "What did you talk about?” Asked Churchill
She smiled, "Years ago he was madly in love with me."
Winston said,”So you could have been the wife of a street sweeper today"
′′Oh no, my love, had I married him, he would have been the Prime Minister today.

Nuno’s strategy of not having his best West Ham side on the pitch until 20 minutes from the end doesn’t seem to be working.

Clearly not a managerial problem at West Ham; the club is clearly populated with crap players. How does Pacqueta stay on a football pitch for 90 minutes. The hammers need fighters not posers!

If this happens at the next general election it will be the direct fault of this Labour Government who are clearly only interested in power (like Reform) not DEMOCRACY!

@keirstarmer.bsky.social @uklabourparty.bsky.social With Starmer proposals placing everyone’s confidential data on a ‘central’ database called an ID system, it will be much easier for Farage and his right wing cronies to round the people up he dislikes and deport then via ‘BritICE’ Thanks Labour!

@libdems.org.uk I’m sure Ed Davey is a nice chap but the LibDems need a statesmanlike leader with gravitas, not stunts that the electorate cannot take seriously. The conference got v little attention. When are the Parliamentary Party going to make changes to get media attention for its policies?

15 Sept marks International Day of Democracy. Set up by the UN to promote/protect democracy around the world.
However, we’re still stuck with a voting system that distorts public opinion, silences millions of voices and deprives communities of power over their own lives.

I like Graham Potter, but this must surely be the end for him. His ability to motivate players into a winning unit looks hopeless. Not helped with a useless Chairman and Board of course. Who was responsible for buying that useless keeper?

I’ve been supporting West Ham since 1972 (53 years) and I can safely say that this the worst bunch of (over-paid) no hope players I’ve ever seen represent our club. How does the club remove the useless dwarf at the top who is responsible for recruitment and wages and get a better run club?
