Not sure where to put this but as the Tories seem hell bent on making illegal migration their number one issue here seems as good a place as any.

The below is frightening as to how people can be so ill informed and have fallen for the right wing media/politicians bullshitting them. 

Illegal migration in 2023 was around 52k. Legal migration was around 1.2 million. So less than 5% arrived illegally and a lot of them came via air travel and just overstayed their legally obtained tourist visas.

The extended clip doesn't show him in any better light does it. He still laughs at the woman, talks over her and spouts bullshit in linking/blaming waiting times on striking NHS staff. Those waiting for hospital treatment doubled between 2010 and 2020 (pre pandemic) and pre strikes last year stood at almost 8 million people waiting for treatment which is over 3 times what it was when these bastards came into power in 2010. 

A real man of the people.

They'll never learn will they.

Up there with the worst refereeing I have seen this season and given the abundance of shite in that field that is saying something. A competent performance from the officials and we are walking away with 3 points and Everton are walking off with 10 men and f all to show for their dire Dyche Ball.

I thought our performance was decent, we've controlled what was overall a scrappy game due to Evertons tactics/the officiating meaning a stop/start game that never allowed us to get into a flow. 

On the downside Diaby was again poor which is becoming a bit of a worry as with so few attacking options we could really do with him on it. 

Only named 8 subs today and he hasn't made the bench. Unless he is injured/ill he may well be on verge of moving on.

@markavfc40 you can be the guinea pig, if it works in March let me know  

In theory the barriers are automated and will just lift up when they read the registration.

Unless they get in touch before I think I will give it a go. Obviously it will let me in and if there is a problem when I leave I have the email and text confirmations and it is also showing on my app account with them. 

For the sake of the 99p sms cost (you have to pay something otherwise it won't go through) I'd make your booking and then providing I get nothing before hand I'll let you know how I get on in March.

I might look at this, I need parking in the summer…

edit: It’s £2.5k for the dates I need  

Mad thing is I have been into my booking and had a look just to see if I changed car park and it comes up at 1.5k to park in an airparks but other on airport parking (car parks 2 and 3) also come up as zero. Did you put in to stay for over a year?

I've just been on holiday extras to see how much airport parking would be for Birmingham airport. I meant to put in 20/03/2024 until 29/03/2024 but accidentally entered 29/03/2025 as the return date. Anyway it came up for car park 1 (closest to terminal/usually the most expensive) as 0.00 cost. I thought I'll chance my arm and see if this processes. It wouldn't as I assume because there was no charge. So I then pressed the 99p to be sent a SMS text confirmation and then made the payment using a voucher I have for an old refund. The payment went through and I have received email confirmation with a booking reference and also a text confirmation. Anyone think I am likely to have problems if I rocked up to the car park? Had the parking been over 60 quid I'd have just got a taxi. 

It is unbelievable what Littler is doing. He is not just beating the worlds best players he is absolutely battering them and not in any event but at the world championship. Unreal.

The Office, Derek and After Life are all exceptional and have that rare gift of being able to make you laugh whilst containing really sad, pull on heart strings moments. I've never been a fan of Gervais stand up though.

Being in hospital on a drip … fainted again so thought it prudent to come get checked out … hospital said I looked dreadful  and I was given a bed within a few mins of arrival 

heart seems to be all ok though so guess it’s something else !! 

All the best Tony. Hope you get a diagnosis and feel better soon mate.

Watched Take Care of Maya last night. A Netflix documentary about a family in America whose child gets ill and they are accused of child abuse. Shocking and really sad. Well worth a watch. 

I have a good feeling about this one. Ramsey is hopefully now going to benefit from the game time he has got over the last couple of weeks and will be fully up to speed. With Moreno behind him hopefully they can reignite that understanding/partnership they developed last season.

I'm going 3-0 with Ramsey scoring and a birthday goal for Ollie. 

I live not far from Barr Beacon so am really high up and the wind was as bad as I've known it last night. Opened the blinds on the kitchen to total carnage in the garden this morning 3 fence panels out and smashed and the covers that we put on the garden furniture all ripped to pieces.

I also flew back from Spain yesterday afternoon into Manchester airport and the landing was as bumpy as I've ever experienced.

Cruella stitched up.

I turned on sky news earlier and was greeted by Mark Francois giving a press conference in the street waffling on about advice the ERG had gotten from their star chamber. I thought for a second we had gone back to 2017 and Theresa May is PM and Francois is spouting his brexit nonsense. The useless windbag is though now being given air time to spout bollocks about this ridiculous Rwanda policy.

Actually wasn't a bad review of the main decisions in our game. About right. 

Really? they basically said that the Jesus coming together with Luiz should have been a penalty and the Havertz triple handball shouldn't have been and the goal should have been given. They spouted bollocks from what I heard. 

If you were picking a combined 11 then I think Villa players fill around half that team.  We also have a better manager. You then factor in that we are at home where we are on an unbelievable run and the fact the atmosphere will be unreal then I can't see anything other than a win for us. 3-1 to Villa. 

I watched May December last night (following @useless posting about it above). Some great acting but didn't blow us away.

May December (Todd Haynes) - i thought this was really great, I liked everything about it, one of the best new films I've seen in a while.

Going to give this a watch tonight mate, based on your recommendation. If it's crap I'll let my missus know it was your fault
