Didn't international observers (some from the US) already come out and say the last elections were free and fair? The opposition boycotted them because they knew they were going to lose?

Given that there seem to be so many people who prefer to believe the Russian line on this, and we all know the Russians are very trustworthy, I'd be very interested to hear some conspiracy theories about whodunnit.

The only conspiracy theory mooted so far is that the Russian government did it. Most sensible people are waiting for evidence before jumping to conclusions.

Aye dead on Sid. You read a book and now you're an expert on everything Russia.

"Basically what happened was..." 

Watched the Outsider on Netflix, nothing special but entertaining enough. 6/10.

Big Little Lies is well worth a watch.

I gave up on this series of Peakys, it's turned shite, same story rehashed.

I gave up half way through Series 3, Episode 1.

Seems clear to me these negotiations will never get to an end and Tory government will fall.

Tory government will fall, Labour get in at next election, decide that so much as happened, and the UK needs a 'Clear the Air' referendum about leaving the EU or otherwise, Remain will win by a big majority and everyone is left wondering what the last couple of years have been about.

Fan fiction. Corbyn is a Eurosceptic too.

We know that the British can't be trusted
We are making a big mistake thinking that the Germans and French can be trusted to look after our interests. Merkel will throw us under the bus if she thought that the U.K. market for Mercs and B
M.W.s was at risk

If the British can't be trusted and the Germans and French can't be trusted, what are the options?

How many years of league records until Celtic equal rangers in a row record. That surely the next big thing for Celtic

Rangers equaled Celtic's record in the 90s. Their aim will be 10 in a row to beat the old record.

Great time for English Rugby, as for the Welsh, it's why I love beating them. Have always been about 'me'.

I think we would have hosted a fine tournament but GAA stadia aren't rugby stadia and the atmosphere would have suffered.

Not too disappointed and on the plus side it might take stop that arsehole Ewan MacKenna from popping up on my twitter feed. Christ I doubt even his mother loves him.

Ha ha ha ha

As for the English Rugby, couldn't agree more. The best craic in Thomond Park is when the English clubs come over. Great nights with Gloucester, Saracens and even Leicester fans. The Welsh are painful. I think they resent the fact that Ireland has suddenly decided to take more of an interest in 'their' game. And they hate it, and us.

A Welsh friend commented to me that he disliked Irish rugby fans as they were "insufferable twats".

Soft penalty for Switzerland to give them the lead at time when they were looking to be running out of ideas.

Harsh but northern ireland have been dung nothing like some of their more recent performances. A bad decision but switzerland deserve to be  at least 2-0 up

They got a penalty they shouldn't have. They deserve to be 0-0.

I've never understood the notion that a team that creates lots of chances but doesn't take them deserves to win.

Agreed. If it should have been 2-0 to Switzerland then why wasn't it?

Can anyone please tell me which war the British Army fought which was about freedom?

Is anyone really surprised Brendan won manager of the year and Celtic dominated all the awards? You have to take account of the fact that they have no opposition whatsoever.Two players Sinclair and Dembele,both with English Championship clubs last summer are now Scotland's Players of the Year,says it all.

What is your point exactly?

MR2 what worse atrocities were there? Surely dropping a nuclear bomb on civilians (mainly elderly, women and children) is about as bad as it gets?

That's not the point here. No one has said it's not a horrific attack... it's the constant boring labling of how bad America is, course they are with the constant shit they do around the world but it's not a new thing or something they have just made up, it's happened for years, centuraries in fact... but I'd say as bad as it gets for that period is gassing 6 million Jews for starters....

Yes bash them as much as you like but you don't have to look to hard to find worse

You think gassing someone is somehow worse than incinerating them or dying a slow from radiation poisoning?

Where did i say that? I'm talking numbers, 6 million to lets say 200,000 odd (I'm being very generous) that died at the bombings....

I've constantly said that the Americans have carried out serious acts throughout their history, but the war was an allied one, the Great war before that (of which the Americans played a very small part of) was horrendous also... but you'll continue to single out the Yanks, i'd say to the extent that you'd have much prefered the nazis to have won!!!

I'll continue to single out the Yanks as long as I have to listen to their sickening hypocrisy every time I switch on the TV or Radio.

United States, Britain, France, Israel - all good guys who sometimes make 'mistakes'.

Russia, Syria, Iran - the forces of evil.

Complete Bullshit.

" i'd say to the extent that you'd have much prefered the nazis to have won!!! " - that's just a daft comment.

So we are in agreement that the US isn't even close to the top ten of nations/dictatorships/movements that amassed millions of deaths?

You can really only start counting since 1776 but the figures aren't good.

Genocide of Native Americans - quite an opening act for the land of the free.

Also, when you take into account ww2 Atomic weapons war crimes, proxies in Central and South America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and on and on I'd say the US makes the top ten no problem.

Was it an allied war or did you just watch the American war movies??

You were asking about the US. The crimes of Britain, France etc. are well known also.

Why do you use two question marks??
