That was very nearly the worst #NFL collapse I have ever seen. It is ABSURD that the #Rams made such hard work of that - and you know why? It's because McVay stopped playing.

I've lost count of how many head coaches give the opposition life by running the ball, very badly.
The Rams' pass offense was what got them so far ahead... then they stop throwing the ball? Ridiculous.

And just look what happened when they HAD to throw it right at the end.

Just nonsense coaching: which almost threw the whole team under a bus. #BucsRams #LARvsTB #NFLPlayoffs
Trust in #Stafford, for Christ's sake. He barely put a foot wrong out there. Unlike McVay and Akers.

The Rams have as close to an all-star team as it gets in the free agency era. It shouldn't be possible to come so close to messing it all up like that.
When are these ludicrously overpaid idiots going to stop playing the percentages in the playoffs?

Which for crying out loud, are NOT ABOUT THE PERCENTAGES.

I desperately want the Tories out. I've always voted anti-Tory throughout my life and, as long as I have the franchise, always will.

But sorry folks. If you just ignore the treatment of @jeremycorbyn, @LauraPidcock, @helensclegel or @PamelaFitzNWC, there's something wrong.
What did these people do wrong? Believe in socialism, that's what. In an allegedly democratic socialist party which shows every sign of ending up way to the right of New Labour.

Keir Starmer's Labour Party is a bullying, lying, Stalinist, vindictive, top down abomination.
Whether you're young or old, if you care about others, if you want to help the most vulnerable, there's no place for you in the Labour Party.

Which kicks people out for being left wing while rejoicing when Tory MPs join. That's not a 'broad church'. It's just right wing.

At this time of global tension, time for a re-airing of this I think.

It is quite extraordinary how consistently Russian or Soviet foreign policy has always been based on protecting its western (in this case, south-western) frontier.

It's equally extraordinary how often this has been based on utterly disingenuous bullshit.
Whenever students study the origins of the Cold War, given most students are left-leaning and more than aware of the awful history of American and British imperialism, they invariably end up blaming the West and excusing the USSR.

The BBC is a state propaganda service, and has proven itself as such for well over a decade. Thanks to the BBC:

- We didn't know Iraq didn't have any WMD, because it preferred a drumbeat to war instead

- Much of the public still thinks Labour "maxed out the credit card"
- The victims of austerity, including the hundreds of thousands who died, weren't covered AT ALL

- The BBC reinforced the nonsense narrative about a 'coalition of chaos' under Ed Miliband

- Brexit happened because the BBC never discussed the actual, real issues
- Other than one interview by Eddie Mair, the truth about Boris Johnson was NEVER told

- The reality of his Brexit 'deal' was NEVER explained

- The reality of why Theresa May couldn't get her deal through Parliament was NEVER explained

- Donald Trump was normalised

"I think the court decision is scandalous … I find it unbelievable that we have two completely contradictory court decisions within the span of just a few days"

- Ana Brnabić, Serbian Prime Minister, completely misrepresenting what happened.
"Djokovic would have been treated differently if he hadn’t come from Serbia… If he was from another country, the approach would be completely different"

- Aleksandar Vučić, Serbian President. Populism, nationalism, complete and utter bollocks are alive and well in Serbia, I see
This was "an attempted assassination with 50 bullets to the chest" - Srđan Djokovic, Novak's father

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

More like attempted suicide. By your son. In front of the whole bloody world.

Quite correctly, the Chief Justice has reminded the government that deporting Djokovic would result in public anger, discord and protests: less than ideal during a pandemic.

Equally correctly, the government have responded that this is outweighed by people emulating Djokovic.
In other words: the short term pain of those protests are outweighed by the long term gain of not having let through an anti-vaccine 'hero' and role model.
Further, the defence's argument that the *real* risk is posed by deporting Djokovic rather collapses when we consider the following:

It's only 16 January (17 Jan Down Under), and already, the highlight of the tennis year is upon us.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC v AUSTRALIA

The challenger enters the contest having had an um, unusual preparation. Basing himself in the local detention hotel, facilities have not been ideal.
He's been used to facing long odds throughout his career, and believes the power of positive thinking can turn dirty water into pure water, a sow's ear into a silk purse, and even polish a turd.

He is vociferously supported by family, friends, compatriots and arseholes.
His opponent today needs no introduction. Home to some of the most ruthless border policies ever dreamt up, Australia boasts massive insects, impossible heat, sharks, flamin' galahs, Harold Bishop, Mrs Mangel and Bouncer the Dog.
