Reply		BIden v Trump - and we thought our options were poor !!
at 08:25 22 Jul 2024

Not sure America changes as much as people think.

Kennedy was seen to have won his TV debate with Nixon due to Dicks 5 O Clock shadow comparing unfavorably to the youthful healthy looking Kennedy. They actually privately got on pretty well before that and agreed on a lot of the then foreign policy stuff.

Kennedy looked so good as he was pumped full of steroids to deal with debilitating Addisons disease. He had already come near death on a number of occasions.

Reagan was pretty gaga in his second term not to mention Nancys reliance on her daily horoscope.

Its always been nuts. Although Edens disastrous handling of Suez when off his cake on painkillers means we need to be careful of throwing stones.

Reply		Did Southgate's tactics cost England?
at 11:26 15 Jul 2024

Overall i thought Southgate did well in the tournament. That was a very good Spain side - a lot better than the Italy team in the last final - that was a bigger missed opportunity.

Kane had shown signs of improvement in the semi final so I could see why he persevered with him but after 20 minutes it was clear he was very immobile again and the brave decision would have been to hook him at half time. This was a manager who got rid of Rooney at the beginning of his tenure but in the end the press get to England managers and i think there was a bit of that here. Kane is a really great player but his whole career he drops off a lot when he is carrying an injury.

After half time they moved Yamal infield a bit and it caused the goal.

A valid criticism is that England were a bit of a mess on the left throughout the tournament.

Rice i think has got away without much comment. I thought he was poor or charitably does not really play that role for Arsenal any more.

Lastly with my QPR googles on i thought that was a game made for Eze - as demonstrated by Stones little gallop through the field before ht.

i hope Southgate does step down now as i think it will turn on him a bit if he stays on and i would rather not watch that.

The Tories seem to think they just need the reform votes back - but the lib dems are second in a lot of those blue wall seats. They need to have a good look at that for next time or will become an irrelevance over time. My own impression is they do not seem to have a coherent set of ideas for what they stand for any more. I was told a few years ago by someone who was a senior civil servant that there was a lot of coke consumption by a fair few at the top and the last few years seemed to bear that out. But that seems to be everywhere now.

yep, I assumed at the beginning the polls would narrow a bit but now it begins to look like they are looking at an extinction event. I don't think the love for anyone else is too deep its more a 'these chancers have got to go' election.

Always nervous about these threads.

Just observing that Blair won by moving labour to the centre . Cameron copied that and was successful and Starmer looks to be doing the same.centrist mums and dads may be a joke but there are a lot of them and they vote.

As for Farage - he drove the Tory party mad at a time when its old deferential demographic of the Church of England at prayer was coming to an end. Endlessly tacking right to appease older voters was a terrible idea but Brexit really spooked them. They assembled a broad but very shallow coalition of voters in 2019 on a single issue which turned to sh;t in their hands and lost a lot of their own balance in the process. Client journalists like Kuensburg and Shipman lapped it up and the decline in news media really hollowed out the fourth estate.

I am at a point of hoping the liberals come second so we have a chance of a functioning opposition. The economy is so fkd that any government are bound to be a disappointment so I am worried as to what comes in 5 years. A little like what comes after Macron in France after he destroyed their previous mainstream.

at 09:26 9 May 2024

The main trigger for me is atmospheric change - cold to hot or hot to cold , damp etc. I was plagued with almost annual bouts of pneumonia as a result. I decided to pay to see a chest specialist who upped my asthma meds which sorted it out and now it is very well controlled. He told me GPs always under-prescribe asthma meds so my advice is try and see a specialist if you can.
