    There's a new thread but I can't post on it.

    Same. I'll post my comment here instead:

    It's tedious that everything comes back to Brexit. We need to find better ways to talk about politics that don't always involve that fucking referendum, or we are going to get nowhere.

    That means you, Scott_xp, that means you Casino_Royale, that means you, Big_G_Northwales, that means you Mike_Smithson.
    The point is it does and from those who want to rejoin

    I am very content to move past Brexit which after this week has disappeared further over the horizon
    "They started it".

    Like fucking clockwork. You're totally borked, aren't you?
    You seem to be getting quite personal

    I express my views and if you do not like them then that is not my problem

    They get dodgier and more irrelevant by the day. Davey is the Donkey of Donkey's, he makes Starmer look dynamic. The dullard could not beat a carpet, he is like some reject from Scottish Labour.

    Totally unacceptable that this should happen to Labour MP for Canterbury Rosie Duffield.

    "Speaker steps in over online threats to female Labour MP Rosie Duffield
    Fear forces Rosie Duffield to miss conference"

    Sadly it is behind a firewall so I can't see who these morons are. Can anyone enlighten me. Not that it really matters I suppose. It shouldn't happen no matter who is doing it.
    Trans activists and anti-semites, it says. Is she even Jewish?

    Lefty politics are a sewer, right now
    She isn't Jewish, AFAIU. Anti-semites don't like the fact that she attended a demo protesting against anti-semitism within Labour under Corbyn.

    You do well betting Mike, but I doubt you could bring yourself to say that Davey is anything other than a loser , the man is a total no hoper. He is taking the Illiberal Non-Democrat's nowhere and especially in Scotland where the clowns could not even spell democracy.

    On trans rights, my girlfriend is a northern, non-university educated red waller and she has absolutely zero fears about trans rights eroding feminism or safe spaces for women or whatever. There is definitely a generational divide on this, which is probably down to the younger generation growing up in a culture of much more equality than there was before.

    Assume she has no plans to go to prison or take part in elite sport, then. Please don't try to generation gap this, I really want brought up in a culture of inequality and intolerance.
    I didn't give my opinion or anything, I merely expressed an observation. Deny it all you want.
    true but the observation shows that she hasn't given thought to the edge cases.

    And it's those edge cases in the Trans debate where the completely unsolvable issues are - and which means that everyone is going to have to end up taking sides.

    Nice to know the last 11 years of Tory government have led to more equality than previously.

    What’s wrong with the score?

    If you mean the cricket vid tweet I posted, it's 38/0 off 25 balls. One batsman has 12 off 8, the other has 0 off 4
    Wides, no balls and leg byes? The standard looks terrible.
    The balls played still ought to add up. I'd guess they weren't actually using the computer score system, and just happened to have the video recording
    Are no balls counted as being faced by the batsmen? I thought they were struck from the record as it were

    I see the Remoaners, having worked out that denying Britain had any part to play in Aukus is a fruitless line of attack, have now decided to try and push the meme that it's meaningless and empty instead.

    It's all they have left. Reality has been a chastening experience for them over these last few years. The City is still just the same, our old alliances have been strengthened, the EU is being sidelined globally and the UK is under no pressure to agree to any alignment deals as was suggested by remainers.

    Expect their derangement to ramp up over the next couple of years as the EU becomes less and less relevant to the world.
    Caught up with my French contacts.

    They are viewing it as a commercial deal lost - understand that they were way out priced - but are really pissed because they thought it was a done deal on really favourable terms.

    Hence the tantrum. But no obe to blame except themselves

    They do (though I'm not sure what happens when a batsman scores off a no ball, I think that counts as a ball faced for the batsman but not for the over), but those balls get bowled again. So you can't have the balls faced by the batsmen add up to fewer than the total legal balls bowled

    The likely answer is a batsman retired hurt. He faced balls, scored runs but wasn’t out.
