Re: In todays news...
One could be forgiven for thinking the reason we have a supreme court is to take an unbiased, unaligned view on how government policy stacks up against UK law. But maybe that's just my wishful thinking.
Willingness to just fuck all that off and keep your election promises is reason enough to boot someone IMO

Chatter from Yanks who understand the game a bit more than me say he makes that 'accidental' move a lot more than anyone else.BBC wrote:Adam Johnson: Man arrested over ice hockey player's death bailed
Maybe there weren't enough social media complaints to bother.
I haven't seen any mention, anywhere since Johnson's death of the player that has been arrested. I'm sure that fans will probably know who was involved but the media has been strangely silent.
Where does your info come from Mussels?

Re: In todays news...
Well presumably everyone who was watching at the time saw who the other player was, even if its not in the headlines?

I was 2000 miles away so I'm not one of them.
I have to rely on news reports or internet gossip.

Re: In todays news...
I guess I agree, but who are the voters going to blame? The government who want to ship the economic migrants out of the UK, or the do-gooders who want to give them a yellow brick road into a council house somewhere near you soon?Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 12:16 pm One could be forgiven for thinking the reason we have a supreme court is to take an unbiased, unaligned view on how government policy stacks up against UK law.

I think this could make the majority double down and vote for someone even more right wing.

Re: In todays news...
I assumed there had been a collision on the ice, not a karate kick to the head area whilst wearing blades on your feet. A planned action...

Re: In todays news...
Me too. Thanks for posting the vid.
Certainly looks like a deliberate high kick and when you're wearing sharp edged skates . . .

Re: In todays news...
It was all over Twitter when it happened with people saying it was clearly deliberate, I thought it was something in the States to start with as there was nothing on the news here until yesterday when the Beeb said someone had been arrested for manslaughter.

Re: In todays news...
I wondered why he had been brought in for man slaughter.
Hard to tell (IMHO) from that vid if he is going for a kick or just going arse over elbow after being cut up / tripped by the other player, but it doesn't look good

Re: In todays news...
I'd struggle to get my leg up that high. If it was me he'd collided with he'd have a nasty gash on the shin.

Re: In todays news...
Interesting that in that poll, even if the conservatives gain every Reform UK vote they still wouldn't beat Labour.
Maybe if they'd realised that a few years ago we could have done without all that culture wars wank they've been playing with to get a small amout of extreme right votes.
Its embarrassing to watch them running about like an angry child.

TBF, I'm sure the Tory party have recent form for ignoring the law (recent as in the last few years, although I'm sure they've got more history than just the last few years!!!)Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 12:16 pm One could be forgiven for thinking the reason we have a supreme court is to take an unbiased, unaligned view on how government policy stacks up against UK law.

Re: In todays news...
Fucking hell!!!! That's horrific - especially if it's not the first time he's done that
I'm pretty sure that sports players at that level would find a way to adjust the leg position even in a fall - especially with blades on feet. Maybe the first time would be a surprise, but to have more than one like that, that's seriously dodgyTreadeager wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 2:35 pm If it hasn't been deleted off YouTube, it was suggested that he seems to have this exact

Re: In todays news...
I think there's less people on the far right than the conservatives imagine there is. Hence the result of that poll.demographic wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 3:17 pm
