Funny isn’t it. A week ago off the USA got knocked out everyone would have been ‘good effort, thanks for putting on a great tournament’. Now, thanks to Trump, it’s all ‘hahaha told you you were shit’.

@mayorwu.boston.gov you should not pretend to be in any way proud of that nonsense of a queue at the train station for today's game. Any European city would be ashamed of that. Disgraceful when you transport authority has said we're being charged five times the normal price so you could handle it.

The problem here is that without growth it gets increasingly difficult to construct win win scenarios in society. That leads to resentment building up and the growth of extreme positions and ideologies. That's not to say that just assuming it would happen by leaving it alone was the right policy.

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes. Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

Going to be cold at The Hive this afternoon for Scotland A vs Chile. Live on iPlayer if you don’t fancy the cold or are Welsh and have the fear of what will happen this afternoon 😁
