Replying To Brummiejoe:  "Are you still able to watch Premier League games on a Saturday afternoon in the south. I don't think you can in the North. Over here nearly all the pubs by me used to show whatever game the majority wanted on a Saturday PM. I think Sky won a Court case blocking transmissions with the threat of a massive fine for the owners if they continued to show them. I think the interest has lessened to a degree but as a previous poster mentioned a lot of people I know are using other means of gaining access. I remember being in a pub by Croke Park in 2010, Sat PM after doing the tour of the ground and there was a game on. And hardly a soul in the place either."
No, they don't show a 3pm Saturday game.

They usually show the early and late game, and 2 on Sunday. That's plenty and it's unusual these days that the bigger teams play at 3pm Sat anyway.

To whom it concerns.
Sweet Jesus one would think that the word Tariffs is the key word to fixing the the American presidency and beyond or that Biden is done and dusted.
If Kamala Harris wins the American Presidency, does it really make one iota bit of difference to the safety of either America or the rest of the free western world, I really think not.

The United States coupled with the United Nations and / or the leaders of the so-called super powers have a lot on their plate and a lot to answer for.

I have watched in my life time documentaries of the pre first world war, second world war, Korean war, etc, etc, etc. But what I see today on live TV news, documentaries and otherwise is not only inexcusable, revulsion but sickening.

It is very easy to express here a point of view politically and other wise with the protection of anonymity, however as far as I can see nothing has changed from the narrated clips of historic pieces of film of pre first world war, second world war, the cold war, Korean war, Sudan, Ukraine, Syria, etc, etc, etc. It's endless, but close to nothing like what is happening on live television today in the Israeli conflict.

We Lambaste Trump for a variety of reasons, ie, we dont like his verbal's, his wealth, his body language his hair style and the list goes on.

Question, ? What critism is being hurled on a pro rata basis in the direction of , Benjamin Netanyahu / Putin in particular, the United Nations assembly people that matter. What we are are seeing today is a narrated rerun of the second world war full stop with no apologies.

The wars of nearing yesteryear were near 90 % wars of air, sea and land soldiers dressed in appropriate attire, sadly todays war is close to 90% civilian from new born up wards.

Has the world learned from the sickening historic experiences of the second world war, personally and sadly I don't think we have or ever will.

This piece of meaningless nothing of mine is no more than my tuppence worth of what's happening out there going unnoticed.

I agree, when you look at what is being allowed and orchestrated to happen by the so called free western world it is just mind boggling and completely sickening in this day and age.
The Military Industrial Complex is doing a roaring trade.

I'm not too sure that Mr Putin is very worried about anything the "free western states" can throw at him, particularly as the Germans and other European countries allowed themselves become totally dependant on Russian oil.
