The arrogance of Real Madrid offsets its class.
Absolutely
Know what? I’m pretty disgusted by the way BBC News is treating Gregg Wallace. The guy may be, possibly is a bit of a creep, but creeps have their rights too and should be treated fairly.
To me that does not include hanging them out to dry on the basis of a series of unsubstantiated stories most of which are either gossip or second hand. For example, Rod Stewart claims he was rude to his wife and that is accepted as fact with no exploration or explanation.
BBC News trumpets its independence from the rest of the organisation, That’s bullshit, because everyone reports to the DG and the board. What it’s really doing is revelling in its own power. We all know where that leads.
Euphemism of the year.
‘Operational misunderstanding.’
Miracle
Looking at last night’s finish again I take back every bad thing I ever said about Casemiro. The layoff to Mainoo was perfect, then he dropped the ball on Big Harry’s forehead.
Whatever Ratcliffe still owes on his transfer fee, he paid it off in under five minutes.
Liberty
‘Give us your poor, your huddled masses …’
And we’ll send them somewhere even worse.
Wow
Two nations
Nobody gave one about the Scottish steel industry back in the 80s.
Nightmare
I watched Mobland episode 2 on Paramount fairly late last night, then had a dream in which a scary guy was wanting to kill me with a hammer.

This is a quote from the Conservative Party online newsletter:
‘And Labour’s Jobs Tax came into effect yesterday, meaning every working household will be £3,536 worse off over the course of this Parliament.’
Okay, I would prefer it if Keir, Angela, Rachel, (especially Rachel) etc, weren’t running the country, but when I read simplistic crap like that, I question the ability of their would be successors.
I am part of a working household. I don’t recognise that blanket averaged out figure, but I do realise it’s the biggest number that some newly graduated kid in Tory Central Office could work out. I realise also that in annual terms, it’s £707.20.
So my message to Kemi and her Boy Scout Troop is this: don’t talk down to people who have been involved in politics for longer than any member of the Shadow Cabinet has been alive, smarten your act up and show me you’re serious or …
Macron-esque

I believe that the same thing happened in France when Macron victimised second home owners. Eileen and I had our Spanish place on the market when he did that. Every single person who viewed it was French.
I hate politicians who penalise success then pretend that it’s socialism.
Rhetorical
Question for my American friends. Did you vote for higher prices and declining export markets?
No?
I didn’t think so.
