Awol

Equating 5G (which Huawei should be nowhere near) with ending property rights & destroying the economy in short order aren’t really on the same scale of effwittery. When McDonnell preached that he wanted to overthrow capitalism it appears he wasn’t kidding.

If Labour win then you won’t have to worry, it’ll just be a different flavour of authoritarian socialists controlling the Internet. No property rights = no rule of law = rule by the party.

Historically, the problem with socialism (not social democracy) is always ‘the methods used to carry it out.’

Did you catch McDonnell’s interview on Radio 4 earlier? It’s not just Open Reach he’s after but businesses like Virgin, Talk Talk and all of the others that invested private money in laying the existing fibre network. No guarantees that they receive market value for their investment, but if they can’t agree a price then they’re vulnerable to nationalization, too. Labour is going after property rights, the foundation of liberal democracy. Not to worry though...

Brilliant for 85 mins, some really amazing individual performances. 5 mins of injury time was a joke. Didn't expect to win but a kick in the swingers when we came so close.

We’re doomed.

5 mins??!

FUUUUUU...K

Night and day from last weekend for England. SA far too strong and deserved winners. Gonna be a long day.

I remember Lichfield going Labour in Blair’s time (Sylvia Heal), not too likely with JC in the chair though - the locals are far too sensible.

He’s been a good defender, no doubt. I don’t think many would argue he offers much going forward, which is pretty fundamental at this level.

He’s like a sea anchor, just drags the whole team back and out of shape. He can defend but that’s nowhere near enough. unlucky AEG!

Elmo! Haha, didn’t see that coming.

Luiz’ passing range is superb, hope Deano can find a way to slot him into the 1st XI. Really rate him.

He’s scoring next then!

Better!

Movement of the ball is poor, Lansbury very rusty. No penetration to speak of. Not great so far.

Where I live now is a straight scrap between the SNP & Lib Dems - both raving Remainers, obvs. Very little point in voting this time, I’ve never had a knock on the door or even a piece of paper from the Tories, Labour or Greens.

Decent school? I thought you were at The Friary??!

There’s lots of debate about the utility of killing off the leadership of terrorist groups, based on the Darwinian process it unleashes. The more competent commanders tend to survive and make organisations even more extreme - almost exactly what happened with the transition from Al Qaeda in Iraq to ISI then ISIS. That said, I doubt anyone except his mother will miss Baghdadi too much. However, the rapid culling of senior ISIS figures does also open up the potential for a reunification between ISIS & AQ. The personal animosity between Zawahiri (AQ CEO) & Baghdadi is well documented, but ISIS always revered Bin Laden as the true leader of Jihadi - accusing Zawahiri of deviating from his path. With Baghdadi gone it’s at least possible that AQ launches a Mergers & Acquisitions play to re-absorb ISIS into a new super group. That’s a big potential problem for Europe because ISIS has built a substantial network for external operations which AQ would then acquire, in addition to the numerous provinces (Wiliyats) stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In summary killing Baghdadi doesn’t solve anything, but it is pretty satisfying as a stand alone event. Kudos to the dog.

All going to plan, comrades.

Sshhhh. You mustn’t disturb people when they’re catastrophizing: No-deal Brexit: 'Nothing is going to happen' at Dover and Calais, insists head of French ports  'If both sides do their homework, traffic will be completely fluid,' says the man in charge of Calais ”Dover and Calais will continue to work smoothly after Brexit, according to man in charge of the French Channel ports, who described concerns about the crossing as "bullshit".” But we’re all doomed. Apparently.

Here you go then, from diabetes.co.uk - the experts as it were.. This is called business continuity planning - just in case “People with diabetes that rely on insulinare being reassured that contingency plans are in place, should a no-deal Brexit go ahead.Diabetes UK report that all three main insulin manufacturers – Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi – have confirmed they are keeping additional supplies.The charity confirms all three pharmaceutical firms have gone "beyond the recommendations made by the government" and are stockpiling at least 16 weeks' worth of insulin.” Note, this is a ‘just in case’ measure, over and above the government’s own recommendations.

The doctor who it was later revealed is an active Remain campaigner? No wonder he was invited by May’s administration to contribute. Doctor in row with Jacob Rees-Mogg is Remain campaigner who hates Boris Johnson, social media posts reveal

Oh Stefan. It was confirmed months ago by the manufacturers that there’ll be no disruption to insulin supplies, or any other meds for that matter. Unfortunately Remainer extremists (note, they’re a small but very vocal minority) continue to try and terrify the public by peddling this nonsense, just to achieve their political goals. They’re deeply sick people deserving of our sympathy, & probably some professional help.
