Why are there still so many new cases reported each day and why is it taking so much longer to come down compared to other European countries ? I know we were two weeks behind some of the worse hit but we still don’t seem to be managing it as well.

Blackrod

Harmless really but Is there anyone left in the country who is not aware of this now. It is now given far far more coverage than all the other diseases and health issues that people face. I would like to see the Alzheimer’s Society FA Cup for instance if we are going down this route.

I’m amazed that some people can’t differentiate between a prominent statue in a public place celebrating somebody’s life and a historical building such as The Colosseum, or the remains of a concentration camp which is now a museum. You must be really really dim.

This post is dim.

Millionaire owners paying millionaire players still but not refunding fans who could be on the breadline. Really nice of them.

I know of some old mills that employed children and had awful safety records by modern health and safety standards so let’s pull them all down. They are a symbolism of something that doesn’t reflect modern attitudes. They might upset some wokes or millennials.

There’s a statue of Edward 8th at Uni of Aberystwyth let’s have that down as his views towards Nazis were suspect. Let’s rip up the A1 as it was originally put there by Romans who were racist and used slave labour........let’s ban German imports of cars VW used slave Labour from concentration camps ...

Hope they knock each other out. Can’t stand either.

I’m starting a campaign to get Ben Hur removed from any channels because it depicts slaves in Romans times I was thinking of this film. Romans forced people to be gladiators that they had captured from other colonies including ‘blacks’. Let’s knock down the Coloseum and ban holidays to Italy and se...

I remember Lord making a comment about "...the Jews who run TV" that Manny Cussins, the then Leeds chairman, also a Jew, took great exception to, and walked out of the Variety Club dinner that he said it at, along with a few others. Im sure Martin P will be the first in the queue to campaign to get...

People like Khan are actually going to fuel racial tension. He really is a grade 1 twit imo. One thing Trump got right was calling him out for being ‘incompetent’.

Some immigrants whether first second third or fourth generation should be grateful for the opportunity that this country has afforded them. Many many are. That involves embracing the culture here which is tolerant compared to other countries but also our history. This is a history before they or the...

Didn't Arsenal once have a banner behind the goal of fans and there was an outcry because there were not enough ethnic minorities portrayed???

Yes thought I remembered it...

Ridiculous

Regardless of when they were made should all films that don’t clearly depict Confederates in the civil war as wrong be pulled ? Should all films that don’t clearly depict Germans in WW2 as wrong be pulled ? It’s a slippery road trying to erase history and distort things that were if a particular time.

Think the club should save the money unless it helps the players, which I doubt.

Not racist in any way but the blackface campaigners really tick me off. In 99% of cases it's a tribute and in no way derogatory. Watched Gandhi a couple of days ago. Will that now be banned as the brilliant Sir Ben Kingsley has obviously blacked up? If I go to a fancy dress as Jimi Hendrix and wher...

Going to place cardboard cutout replica photos of fans in their seats for home games. I am glad that our club is not going to follow this lead.

At least they will be more authentic fans and less self righteous

The Parole Board would have to see clear evidence from several sources that he would not be a danger to the public, that he had reached the minimum term set by the trial judge and that he was properly 'remorseful' of his crime(s).

Not sure slave labourers should have statues but as stated above they were a product of their time. You can’t rewrite history. I saw a period drama the other day that had ‘black ‘ roles made to fit but it clearly didn’t reflect the period it was trying to depict. Equally some modern programs / films...

Club legend no doubt about that. Don’t think we could have had anyone better to manage that team in that Orient game and everything that went with it. I’m sure he’d have been delighted to see some of the climb back.

What's wrong with what he said? I’ll echo the ‘really ?’ above. It’s quite racist and separatist. Jews trade amongst themselves ( speaking from experience) and they prospered in mid war Germany whilst the rest of the population didn’t. This helped fuel resentment and racism with horrific consequenc...

I don’t need crowd noise watching junior football and I really enjoy it. If you like watching the game from a technical point of view it’s not needed imo. It’s preferable to have genuine crowds and noise but adding fake noise in isn’t for me. I prefer authenticity but each to their own.

Terrible idea imo. I don’t need to kid myself there are fans there or about the atmosphere.

I worked in public sector for 13 years and my salary never went above £19k pa and in the last 5 years there it was bloody frozen. I left because the pay did not warrant the additional workload we were getting as the Department was being cutback to the bone. Yeah but allow your prejudice against pub...

I’ve watched a few documentaries about this. They have been funded by a wealthy Scottish benefactor and his ‘thick’ son who has been playing at being a PI on The Algarve. Without this there would have been nowhere near as much press coverage. I’ve yet to see any proper remorse by the McCanns and the...

Given a ‘life’ sentence in 2013 for a brutal attack and rape of a 66 year old who was then locked in a cupboard. The judge said he would be dangerous for many years to come.

You shouldnt be able to borrow that amount of money from the Bank of England to cover wages. Cut the costs, the wages and the Chairman’s salary and wages. They’ve built a brand new stadium and now run out of money and come begging. Tough luck.

Over one million public sector jobs have been lost since 2010 and millions had their salary banding reduced and pay frozen. Many on the lower pay scales were hit the hard.

They'll have to downsize... sell the second car and cut the cloth. Exactly. Just because you earn x amount it doesn’t mean you are always going to earn that amount or more unlike the public sector.

You are not allowed to obstruct a right of way. If a footpath runs through someone’s private land you are not allowed to deviate off it. Why the hell would you picnic in the middle of a footpath ?

You are perfectly entitled to have a picnic on a public footpath. Therefore it seems that the farmer is in the wrong. And he’s definitely in the wrong for muckspreading them, if that’s what he did. If someone did that to me I’d be pressing charges.

You wouldn’t get very far.

Are these job cuts because the company is broke or to please shareholders? Covid-19 is a great boon for many companies.

Probably to keep the company profitable which is kind of important. Unfortunate for the people involved though and the area.
