You are so ‘with it’ on everything Ned. We go with Algeziera (probably wrong spelling) and RT for world news. Can’t listen to those BBC puppets of mass destruction

Al Jazeera. Owned by Qatar?

The BBC are a form of entertainment; the new Monty Python. I like to be aware of the official version of everything.

Thanks for the comment.

Al Jazeera ?.

But me to... as for the BBC, utter tosh but I do use it to watch the football summary, where unfortunately Ned's team did well against us last weekend - but as usual, they bottled it earlier on.

Al Jazeera did produce this

BBC is utter bollox, but has unintended comedy value.

Everton gave us a tough time. Glad you made it despite the points deduction.

We lost at Newcastle due to incorrect VAR decision & Aston Villa because we are still knee-taking snowflakes.

Actually not sure of any media outlets now - especially RT. Have watched RT and AJ for years and the latter produce some fantastic documentaries (one offs or series). The best I was "back then" was called "The Seven Sisters" ... all about the power, influence and why things happen; due to the big oil Companies.

RT used to have quality reporting, now it just spews out MSM crap half the time and of course AJ is Qatar = independent ?.

BBC = never watch or read unless sport.

Thanks regards the Everton comment, but wish you lads would have won it (even though I hate Arsenal), as my Dad just waffles on about it non-stop - apparently a big Man City supporter who has been to one match with his Dad (a real City supporter), one in 84 years ffs. I am sure I have watched more women's games than that.

Take it easy, cheers.

PS July 4th election date ... just a coincidence ???

"Independence Day. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies' separation from Great Britain. The Constitution provides the legal and governmental framework for the United States."

Start of the break up of the UK or Great Britain ?.

I haven't been to see Arsenal since Highbury. The traffic was so bad that last match, plus I hate crowds and prefer a cuppa / drink at home while watching on 'illegal' streams. I did attend live games in Turkiye, but only because I was invited, picked up and driven. The last times were a corporate box at Galatasaray with a TV to watch replays and lunch at half-time. Rich people have it so easy. I used to attend games with my father and stood on a wooden foot stool in the days of turnstiles.

I don't watch TV. We have one for when necessary. I have radios for BBC in the kitchen and bathroom. I used to watch Max Keiser on RT, but not for some years now.

04 July. Yes, I did note the date. I really hope Starmer doesn't win, but suspect the woodentop will. I'll vote independent or spoil my ballot.
