Many fun days out at lightwater valley and then a kid died on one of the rides and they replaced everything with nanny state 'safe' rides. Hopefully the Saudis will fix this as well

did a kid actually die on the rides or is this an urban myth. i went there a couple of times i guess before they ruined it

Don't Leeds players run more distance than any team in the Premiership by some ridiculous margin? ISTR a chart towards the end of last season suggesting it was almost double what some teams were doing.

Yeah and they did it clean, probably shortened their careers by a few years. We need a blood spinning machine like the big clubs have.

Also WhAts the deal with that woman who fronts the Newcastle Arabs?
She’s a languages uni drop out who now controls a company worth hundreds of millions. It makes no sense.

She arranged for an investment in Barclays during the financial crisis from either the Emiratis so she’s got some experience bailing out storied British institutions

Ethically (and legally in most of the world) ordering a murder makes you a murderer.

Also stop falling for the media bubble framing of exactly *why* MBS is a oval office. Murdering Khashoggi was bad, of course, but we're 7 years into a war where the Saudis have deliberately targeted schools, hospitals, and refugee camps and have repeatedly used hunger as a weapon against the civilian population. At least 10,000 civilians have died as a result of this but none of them went to the right dinner parties so nobody gave a poo poo.

(And yes, I *do* put the half-million+ deaths in Iran and Afghanistan directly at the feet of Western leadership and think we should be international pariahs too).

The British government sends top paedos like Prince Andrew to help negotiate arms sales to these exact people and that’s nothing compared to what America facilitates.

The leadership of Saudi Arabia is reprehensible but people sure like to draw the line that was previously ignored when it comes to their involvement.
