@afneil As Andrew Neil’s forecasts of impending doom are all too often proven to be right, I’m putting my affairs in order and preparing for the worst.
@aviationarchive One of them ( presumably part of Mulberry A ) still sits on the beach at Aldwick Bognor Regis in Sussex, I remember exploring it as a child almost 70 years ago.
@PompeyNewsNow Trouble is that he’s going to get at least a booking every game so he’s going to miss quite a few. Commitment is one thing but , at times, he seems to go looking for it and refs know that.
@afneil Trump’s deals, a slice off Venezuelan oil, a toll on Hormuz traffic, selling arms to Ukraine ( paid for by Europeans ) property plans for Gaza, he’s just like Tony Soprano.
@afneil If we didn’t uprate benefits, including pensions, for one year ( similar to personal allowances ) could that provide a sizeable chunk of money for defence ?
@afneil@TimesRadio Why don’t we, and France, charge the rest of Europe a fee for providing a Nuclear umbrella, it’s what we spend a large portion of our defence budget on. We could then spend that on upgrading everything else.
@pn_neil_allen The message appears to be about purse strings, the owners seem to think that we should be content with a nice new pitch rather than concern ourselves about the quality of the football we play on it.
