TBK (late reply from last night) - you are certainly right on your point, so I will say no more on that topic..

All grooming and child abuse cases should be investigated, not just those perpetrated by brown people - it’s a pity that a certain Boris Johnson said in 2019 that he thought investigating them was a waste of money…. “One comment I would make is that I think an awful lot of the money, an awful lot of police time, now goes into these historic offences and all this malarkey - £60m I saw was being spaffed up the wall on some investigation into historic child abuse and all this kind of thing. What on earth is that going to do to protect the public now?” Maybe money and resources into these investigations got cut after his comments, and maybe there’s been some covering up too (quite likely), and a certain amount of sheer incompetence too it seems. Anyone involved in any cover up should be prosecuted, and if the victims want further investigations, there should be more - they’re the ones who actually matter. However, the implementation of the recommendations of the reports produced so far shouldn’t be delayed because of new investigations, they should happen right away. I suspect that if the victims had been posh girls from wealthy backgrounds, rather than mostly from poorer and disadvantaged homes, the whole thing might have been handled rather differently… 🤔

wow oi, its rife not just in Oxford, even Rotherham was only mentioned once in the 400 page plus report l[Link]

Jaw ,I don't give a f**k for musk,but happy he gets up the right people's noses.

I love the idea of Richard Tice trawling through the record books to find an occasion when there was less ice than now. “I’ve cracked it! It’s all a ruse!”, and then someone points out it was due to CFCs.

The telling thing on enquiries for me was the retired Oxford policeman who led the operation against the Oxford grooming gang and still provides consultancy on the issue. After an in depth interview he was asked whether we needed a new public enquiry and his answer was "Absolutely not, we need to implement the recommendations of the previous enquiries."

Richard Tice statistic that Spit quoted the other day is actually a strong argument for acting on climate. Tice found a single year when there was less Antarctic ice than in 2024 and it was during the concern over the ozone layer. We banned CFCs and the ice recovered for quite a long period before declining again to the second worst year ever, so maybe we should take more action and it might start to recover again.

Musk’s Dad groomed his own step-daughter. Next…….

No worries Bert. Spit, I don’t believe everything the government tells me either. I just believe listening to conspiracy theorists, Farage and Trump are not the answer either.

Well you can see why labour didn't want a grooming inquiry, former labour mp just been arrested for what you can guess.

Jaw forgot to put Trump on your list. Keep believing the establishment and what goverment tells you 😂😂

TS-yes when I read it back it looks like a comma would make more sense

Nick, I suspect neither of us have much expertise in frozen pitches or covers.

JAW - I've removed your post as it relates to MAD's post that has been deleted - Bert.

CW, I assume you forgot the , agter the No

TBK- maybe, though that’s a pretty specific record (ie the need to specify a “January night”) and that “record” really just shows that it rarely really gets particularly cold in London in the scheme of things. Perhaps my perception is still influenced by the fact that I spent Christmas in Canada, where everyone was commenting how mikd it was for the time of year at -5- -10c !!). I think (as illustrated by the fact that other games were off too) that the reality is that covers don’t ever really work very well to keep games on (ie it’s undersoil heating or nothing). We were perhaps just a bit over-optimistic that our new covers would work, but now we know better.

Meanwhile the AFD in Germany have redefined Adolf Hitler as a communist, so Fascists are actually nice guys and nothing whatsoever to do with the Holocausr

JaW - exactly, a perfect description ☺️👏

Opik, Icke, Farage, Musk, all the same playbook playing on the gullible and stupid

Don Simon - glad Robinscum has progressed from dancing round his living room 🥰

Meanwhile, RIP Sam Moore - I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down is probably the best, and covered so well by Elvis Costello 🥳

No big clubs played their first teams even in League cup ties back then, suppose the squads were smaller

Opik is a thick cunt Spit - yet again, weather…. climate…. learn the difference…. 🤪🤡

Nick. It was the coldest January night since 2010.

Latchford!
