Tories doing badly in the polls – Get Patel to have a go at migrants – always popular with the Daily Mail and diverts attention away from gross incompetence everywhere else, and if possible blame the EU to gain plaudits from the Brexiteers.
FOOTBALL LATEST another departure.
Solskajaer is likely to be sacked any day soon.
He will get a hefty payoff and probably will never actually need to work again so no tears! 7th in the league and 6 points behind West Ham a European Championship place is still possible, but Utd may regret not having acted before the international break like Aston Villa and Norwich. Who would go to Utd? They have tried most types of manager in last 7 years. Their team has potential, but also too many who at present are not looking quite good enough. Rashford and McTominey may look elsewhere to develop their skills, Pogba whilst consistently one of their best players has not shown the leadership qualities of a Gerrard, Lambert or Terry. In fact this is probably their biggest problem – lack of leadership.
FOOTBALL BLAGGING LEAGUE
Archie and Adam get off to a flying start getting Chelsea result spot on. This afternoon sees a record number of fixtures with Liverpool Arsenal being the late fixture. I have put all 5 afternoon games down for a draw! I guess this means that Wolves and WHU will be a draw as it is my only selection with a winner (WHU).
No money or prizes – just fun – add your name at this weeks game.
I will update shortly –
COVID
Where are we now? In the UK numbers remain high at the 500-600 level, and the NHS is coping – just. The government and indeed all of us are hoping that the high levels we have had since opening up society without precautions will have given us some sort of herd immunity. Even though that concept seems to have been discarded as a fallacy 18 months ago.
RACISM
Unfortunately what I call passive racism is ingrained in out society. Many people would declare tat they were not racist at the same time as using offensive ‘banter’. Until we confront our history we will be blighted by the virus of racism. Of course statues to the murderers of the past should be moved, the National Trust should declare where the huge wealth that enabled our stately homes to be built comes from. Perhaps too many in the wealthy echelons of society still reap benefits from the gross abuse of the poor.

BREXIT
ALBANIA
Priti Patel and Dominic Raab state that asylum seekers will be sent to Albania. However this is denied by Albania’s Foreign Minister (a woman not a man – The Times please note) and its ambassador to the UK. So all ministers now feel free to join in the bullshit! It is so sad that they put more time and effort into appeasing rightwing nutters than the problem itself.
