    Cornish Steve got a reaction from Matt in Trump all over again   
    I'm still hoping he'll announce at the last minute that he's stepping down and his party appoints a sensible alternative.
    In the meantime, anticipating the flood of Trump supporters from out of state who'll come knocking on my door to canvas support, I'm ordering an 'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for president' baseball cap and an 'E. Jean Carroll for vice-president' T-shirt to wear when I greet them.

    There needs to be a thorough government audit of the Premier League since it appears to be a hive of corruption, deceit, and double standards. They'll probably plead the same defense as did the NFL in the US, that they're an entertainment organization that can do as they please, but that's not how the fans see it. It's become a complete and utter farce.

    The same way he felt last week, I would imagine.

    It is a complete farce and fiasco. And still City get away with massive financial violations. The fact that two point deductions are applied in the same season ought to mean a legal challenge is warranted.

    Premier league pushed for 5 points, 17 points they have pushed for in total. We have a similar breach total to forest over the two breaches - yet we got double the points.
    this committee actually allowed the war in Ukraine to be used as mitigation..... yet the other panel and appeal panel didn't?

    Controversial opinion: he works hard, but he’s not clinical enough.
    We need a creative or opportunistic striker given our poor squad.

    Normally when we draw it feels like a loss. Yesterday's draw almost felt like a win. A bit of a gift..
    Pickford was excellent.
    Gana was good.
    Dom at least scored.
    Myko was decent.
    I'm trying to be positive.

    Nailed on 2-1 loss with Tarkowski scoring from a corner.

    I had to attend conference calls all afternoon and missed the game. The BBC report is interesting, though: "Both sides had chances in an open second half, with substitute Joe Garner hitting the post for Everton within six minutes of his introduction." Did we just recruit a new player?

    Yes, because you raised it.

    Such a reputable news source, so fact-based and focused on the important things in life.

    It should stop but it won’t, it’s been with us for thousands of years, all we can do is to keep calling it out and prosecuting were we can. 
    All forms of racism and oppression needs to stop, only wish I had the answers.

    So where exactly does the flag of St. George come from? The crusaders who rampaged Europe, killing rather indiscriminately. Have you ever read a history of the crusades, the divisions they caused in society, the heartless acts, and how they bankrupted the country? Hmm - maybe that's the link to today's extreme right!

    Maybe it's a minority/inferiority/militant thing.  
    Maybe years ago people in England didn't feel the need to show that they are English and proud because it was there.... when people feel that their cultures and traditions are being challenged then they will show their colours so to speak. 
     
    2012 olympics, Stella mccartneys designs didn't create a kick off no.... pretty much fir reasons stated above I'm guessing. 
     
    in the past few years it feels as though our traditions are being challenged and changed.  The M&S Christmas, Iceland with Hot cross buns changes.  Respected statues being climbed on with other flags put on them.  People are starting to say enough is enough. 
     
    I'm not right wing at all but it seems some of my views nowadays are being labelled right wing by those who proudly claim to be left.   It's a game - I subscribe to the political party of common sense, humanity and decency.  I don't know if such exists.

    Good analogy with the rest of your post. Like you I think we definitely get a points deduction at 4-6 points, if we do get 6 I think we appeal and it gets reduced to 4. 
    Bring it on I say Evertonian’s relish a challenge, if the challenges we’ve had to face and conquer were training for a fighting force we would be the SAS of the Premier League.

    I'm amazed people are so angry about this and there's no noise about the £159 for a shirt...

    Two judges find themselves in traffic court for speeding. The first judge takes to the bench and the second judge is brought in to face the music. "You were traveling at 55mph in a 35mph zone. That's a £200 fine and 3 penalty points." Next, the second judge takes to the bench and the first judge appears before him. "You were traveling at 50mph in a 40mph zone. That's a £500 fine and 6 penalty points." The first judge objects: "But I gave you a smaller fine and applied fewer penalty points despite yours being a worse case of speeding." The second judge explains his reasoning: "But this is the second case of speeding brought before this court today. It's time to stamp it out!"
    We are not going to face a smaller points penalty. If I had to guess, it will be another 6 points, at which point all hell breaks loose.

    Honestly, I don't ever remember seeing a flag of St. George when I lived in Britain - never. Seeing it flying now is a modern thing, although I have no problem with it. As others have said, the Welsh and Scottish proudly fly their flags - and more and more flags of St. Piran fly in Cornwall.
    What's the big whoop about designing a motif using different colours? I interpreted it as a statement that Britain is proudly multicultural, which is a positive thing.

    I don't understand why there's such a vocal body of people who seem desperate for renewable energy schemes to fail. You see it in some people's comments to that article, but it's become something of an obsession among conservatives in the US. Why would we not want to pursue such options? Why would we not want to reduce smog, limit the rise of sea level, prevent extreme weather patterns, and generally be good stewards of the earth?
