Given up on @talkSPORT That is some of the worst commentary I have ever heard. Whoever the guy with fake cockney accent is I am presuming he was heavily bullied as a child.
How do people listen to @talkSPORT It’s bloody awful. Someone give the commentators a pistol so they can do the decent thing & end their own eternal misery. #ENGDRC

This is why I don't trust Burnham: he's Gen X yet he's so nakedly power-hungry and comes out with crap like 'hope in every heart'. Never trust anyone born 1965-80 who isn't a dour, bitter, misanthropic nihilist with low ambitions. Hope in every heart is the talk of lunatics.
It should be recalled that it was put to Manchester in a referendum as to whether they wanted a mayor. They said no. They got one anyway. Now, it would seem that Andy Burnham wants to replicate this model, whether anyone wants it or not. This is part of the thirty year long regionalisation process - gradually implemented ever since Mrs Thatcher.
In this context, devolution does not mean devolution. It means the amalgamation (abolition) of local authorities, and by extension, abolition of local democracy, to create regional development quangos with directly elected chief executives we will call mayors. They will say this is more democratic.
Very little, if any, power will be devolved. In most instances, the power that we (the people) actually have will be confiscated and centralised, and our powers of democratic veto will be erased. What you then get is gerrymandered rotten boroughs who pander to their client vote.
Any devolved powers will be to ensure that in the event Labour is kicked out of office, there is then regional institutional resistance to anything central government attempts to do. We will then see regional assembles along the lines of the Scottish "parliament" comprised of low-level kleptocrats who will spend most of their time debating Gaza and whether men should be allowed into female changing rooms - for eternity.
The James Webb telescope has just discovered a galaxy near the limit of the observable Universe that 'Manchesterism' can fuck off to.
Then it can fuck off a bit more.
The devastating earthquakes in Venezuela exposed exactly how the socialist government built housing for their people. Look at this video from La Guaira.
The buildings in the Misión Vivienda program were constructed using expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels coated with a thin layer of cement, without the reinforced steel and earthquake-resistant concrete that is required for high-rise buildings in seismic coastal areas.
The deaths never needed to happen. If they had constructed these buildings correctly, they wouldn’t have collapsed.
Many properly engineered buildings remained standing despite suffering severe damage, but almost all of government housing complexes collapsed, trapping residents beneath the rubble.
There’s your communism in action. The end result is DEATH!
Every single time…
A German, an Italian, a Frenchman, and a Brit are debating philosophy.
The question arises: What separates man from the animals?
“Technology,” says the German. “Other creatures use tools, but none can match the engineering feats we’ve accomplished. It is our industry that separates us from the beasts.”
“I disagree,” says the Italian. “It is food. Animals eat, but they do not cook. Humans create incredible dishes and endless combinations that make eating one of life’s greatest pleasures.”
“I say it’s art,” declares the Frenchman. “No other creature can create art. Since the earliest days of humanity, we’ve painted, sculpted, written, and composed. Wild animals can never know the deep emotion inspired by a beautiful work of art.”
The Brit sits quietly, sipping his tea.
After several moments, the Frenchman, growing impatient, asks,
“Well, what about you? What do you think separates man from the animals?”
The Brit takes another sip of tea and replies…
“The English Channel.”
