Brock has 4 ints in 4 games everyone over blows it without his WR 1-6
Joe burrow has 3 ints vs the titans with Jamar & Higgins & Gesecki and no criticism
Caleb Williams just threw up a stinker vs the Bucs with Loveland , Odzune , Burden , Raymond and we won’t see any criticism
Brock Purdy must be held to a different standard 🤣💯

Pundits have put more pressure on Iraola because he lost to a City team after a red card and a narrow loss to Arsenal after being denied a clear pen.
Alonso has done worse at Chelsea and all you hear is how good their front 3 is and that Carragher loves Palmer. Little criticism.

Yes, Russell Brand briefly convinced a few Guardian columnists that a man shouting undergraduate philosophy through a Victorian chimney sweep's beard constituted a political awakening.
Some of us thought he was a colossal bellend.
I didn't vote for him. I didn't join his movement. I didn't appoint him Supreme Commissar of the People's Republic of Leftism.
I thought he was an insufferable, pseudointellectual gobshite who mistook talking very quickly for thinking very deeply.
And what exactly is your argument here?
That because Ed Miliband interviewed him, the entire British left was knowingly harbouring a sexual predator?
That's a fucking extraordinary leap.
You've gone from New Statesman guest editor to collective complicity in sexual violence without so much as stopping for a biscuit.
If you've got evidence people knew about his offending and protected him, present it.
Otherwise, stop treating the British left like some sort of criminal syndicate whose members must collectively answer for every celebrity wanker who once quoted Chomsky.
Launch Brand into the fucking sun.
Throw the booky wook at him.
Just don't expect the rest of us to climb aboard because you found a photograph of him standing next to Ed Miliband.

sean lock could see right through russell brand's facade, even in the face of people trying to defend him and talk sean down, he just knew there was more than what meets the eye

Every time Nyoni goes off the pitch, we lose all midfield control in the pivot. Every time Wirtz isn’t playing as the 10, we look toothless in attack without a connector and receiver in half spaces. Interesting dilemmas for Iraola’s 4-2-3-1, both are undroppable in this system.

The current rules are the current rules, but the fact that this isn’t a catch in today’s NFL feels a bit silly.
Well, did he drop it? No. So that means he caught it, right? Well, no. Why? Because the ball shifted in your hands a little bit when you hit the ground.
Ok.

A reminder that welfare spending as a percentage of GDP is at 10.6 % currently and was at 13.5% when the Conservatives were in charge.
55% of claimants are pensioners, most of whom vote Conservative.

For those mocking the PM for going on Gogglebox:
It's for Stand Up to Cancer.
For those mocking his tattoo:
It's the Manchester Bee, done after the Manchester Arena Attack, where 22 died and 100's more were injured.

Robert Saleh might not be a technical offensive wunderkind but no one can deny his team-building and leadership acumen!
7 weeks into Robert Saleh tenure: Well just lost a fight at practice. Time to shoot my teammate with a gun

Absolute bollocks. And as someone who knows the system from personal experience, it’s humiliating and degrading. You don’t just turn up with a sore elbow and get a car.
Stop spouting such absolute mince.

As a disabled child who was not magically healed by the onset of adulthood, what the fuck are you wittering on about?

Helen, Helen, Helen
Let me explain this to you in plain and exceedingly simple English.
Disabled kids are most likely to have been born with their disabilities or conditions (as I was). I know this might be shocking to you Helen, but we don't just stop being disabled at 18. Being born with a disability is usually a lifetime deal.
I tell you what, care to swap? You can have my cerebral palsy (and the benefits that you say come with it) and I'll take your fully functioning extremities and become an MP. Not a Tory one though, because I'm not a horrible bastard.
By the way, if you accept my offer, good luck trying to wipe your backside, put your own clothes on, wash any part of your body or doing any sort of cookery (since you won't be able to hold a knife properly) are, and one more thing, forget about rolling yourself over in bed at night, you'll have to get somebody to help you with that as well. But yeah, apart from that, a lifetime on benefits is really fucking easy isn't it?

They're planning to put people on the sex offenders register because some poorly bad iphone film between two consenting adults might have the word "daddy" in it, yet they're protecting David Walliams from being named as an abuser in the Guardian. Mad country we live in.
A “well-known” individual is seeking a High Court injunction to stop ITN, and The Guardian from naming him and publishing serious claims about his conduct over several years, including sexual misconduct.
The court heard he submitted medical evidence stating that publication would “almost certainly” lead him to attempt to take his own life. He also claims that the thought of publication has already led to two suicide attempts.
He denies the claims. A trial later this month will decide whether ITN and The Guardian can be permanently barred from identifying him and reporting on the allegations.
What do you think?

The tabloids have invented this alternate-universe Britain where you phone the DWP, tell them you’ve got a peanut allergy or a sore finger, and suddenly they’re paying your rent and buying you a free car - and somehow, people believe that’s how it actually works.
