Interesting line-up for Italy.

It will be fascinating to see how Capuozzo works out at loose-head prop.

Saves a try and then runs the length of the pitch to score one of his own.

Bravo, Ilan. 100% support for your brave words the other night. In Spanish they say " una verdad como un templo".
We met and had a meal in Helsinki, twenty years ago.

FIFA finally did something amazing.
You got the American President to sit through two hours of a sport he knows nothing about and to finish him off the half-time show was all about Love and Diversity.
I bet he's furious. Well Done.

Alex & Jake. Are you not even slightly embarrassed to plug a book focusing on the former competent, moral, economically literate, geo- politically well informed administration with an ailing President. When there's a total shit show happening with a nutcase in charge?

@news.sky.com You let these Israeli spokesmen on to lie, justify ethnic cleansing and genocide, and defame and insult you on your channel. Push back harder.

When asked by Kaitlan Collins on The Source, about future trade deals with China, Peter Navarro actually jokes " If I tell you I'll have to kill you."

Hi Ezra, Leah & Co.
Is there an indivisible international? The pernicious effect of the current US Administration is felt way beyond the borders of the United States.
How can non US citizens organise in a way that is supportive of your organisation?

Trump& Co.(Vance,Johnson and Graham.) are under Putin's orders to discredit Zelenskyy as a leader capable of negotiating an end to the conflict. "So much hatred" and not obsequious enough.
They call for his resignation with the intention of replacing him with a useful idiot.

Dear Mr.O'Donnell. I'm a huge fan of your show. While I concur wholeheartedly with your interpretation of events and appreciate your insight into the workings of the US politics, do you not think that insisting that President Trump is being 'humiliated' by foreign

Avid follower of your show and a great admirer of your work.
What can someone who doesn't live in the US do to join the resistance to Donald Trump and his little helper?
I follow with horror and trepidation the turn events have taken from the Canary Islands.

Hi Rachel. I'm watching the Inauguration speech from the Canary Islands.This is a crazy person. Like a scene from a dystopian novel.
I wish someone had installed a Bernie-cam. Can't wait to see him interviewed.
Feeling for you all from across the pond.

As regards the EU referendum, and as a British, immigrant and permanent resident of Spain for almost 40 years , I think anyone who voted for Brexit should be banned from visiting Europe and most definitely from buying property.
