Whatever happened to that Premier League thing that Sky took off free to air? You never hear about it.
There was still other competitions for the BBC/ITV to show back in 1992, with this deal fans of the men's home nations will only get to see their teams on free-to-air TV every four years at the world cup.
Especially now the Autumn Internationals are all no longer free to air.
It should be one of the Crown Jewel events. I suppose we'll still have the Women's Six Nations, Ladies Test Cricket and FA Cup for a while.
Not the FA Cup.
TNT have bagged the rights to the FA Cup from next season, although the BBC will still show 2 matches a round up to the semis, which is a big drop from the current contract.
I've been watching 91-year-old Lord Heseltine on Politics Live. You may not agree with his views but he's still sharp.
Even though I don't agree with a lot of what he says, I just automatically find him a lot more authoritative and charismatic than pretty much all current politicians.
If the Tories adopted Hezza's narrative, including reviewing our relationship with the EU, they would win a landslide.

Would they? How do you know?
They would win a landslide among people @Mexicanpete knows.
Instinct. It is the only way they would get my vote and I am sure the centrist dad vote is more attainable than the Trump-lite vote.
Ooh, memories of Tarzan swinging on his liana through the political jungle ... mm, you could well be right. As well as Right.

Womens Six Nations is a work in progress. Too many one sided games at the moment. Although the lesser nations will catch up. I watch some Ladies rugby which promise to be close games but cricket score games I can do without
That's not what he said. The actual quote was "they won't fly without support", which isn't the same thing at all.

The US forced the UK to put their F-35 data management office inside Elgin AFB in Florida. Presumably so they can keep very close tabs on what's going on and stamp out any incipient autonomy.
I suppose it's worked out well for the people who work there. Logically, they should be with the aircraft at RAF Marham in Norfolk - "The Wales of the East".
No. 17 Squadron are also forbidden from moving their test aircraft outside the US. So they have to rough it at Edwards AFB in California.
Fucking hell we bought a PAAS.
Does this mean if someone destroyed Elgin the planes wouldn't fly?

Sorry I should have been more precise., Ladies's FA cup.
Anyhoo if I was Kemi Badenoch I would be flooding the airwaves, social media, and GB News about Farage wanting the UK to take back Shamima Begum because Don told him.
And I see Nigel is also fawning over his tormentor, Elon, because 'he kind of makes us look cool'. Are Nigel's political instincts not as sharp as they used to be or has Donald's resurrection shattered his world?
The last Musk/Farage news I heard was Farage calling for Musk to take down terrorist material that Axel Rudakubana viewed. That doesn't strike me as fawning.
Hardly sounds like Nigel launched a crusade to have it removed. It's more that he blurted his plea out in panic as a response to an LBC gotcha attempt.
Asked on LBC whether X should take down the video, Farage said: “All terrorist material, of course, should be taken down.”
He added: “If you tell me it’s still there, it should come down. Of course it should.”
That's the Jezza 'do you condemn Hamas terrorism?' formulation.
Elon is, of course, a self-proclaimed 'free-speech absolutist', so it was probably an attempt to drive a wedge between the two men, painting Nigel as a boring old centrist-dad character who doesn't mind a bit of censorship. The public will probably side with Nigel on this, but it'll be interesting to see how Elon responds to such a flagrant repudiation of his credo.
The big softy is also against the death penalty. He's going to lose his base if he's not careful.

Nigel's nightmare must be that Donald calls on the UK to join a US trading block and impose tariffs on the EU. Of course, Donald would see no issues, but that would be an incredibly difficult sell for Nigel. How would he do it without looking like a treasonous convert to Europhilia in his supporters' eyes?

Sounds like a massive advert for buying European planes instead.

The good thing about Covid and Ukraine is that we saw that countries like France and Germany would never put their interests in the way of us accessing kit or using kit as we choose if they decided otherwise.

If he were being purely tactical, rather than ideological, then the arrival of Trump/Musk combined with the ongoing detoxification efforts of Le Pen and Meloni give him a once in a lifetime opportunity to reinvent himself as the cuddly moderate version of right wing populism and eat up the Tories simply by staying still while the Overton window drifts rightwards.
