  1. Your leader assumed one his members was a pedophile and did nothing about it. As I say, you're not too fussy about who you sit in Parliament.
  2. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-51634431 The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse criticised political groups for not acting on complaints. It accused Lord Steel of an "abdication of responsibility" over accusations against the late MP Cyril Smith. Lord Steel said he was quitting because he wanted to avoid "distress" for his family and "turmoil" for his party. The former MP and MSP also said he was being made "a proxy for Cyril Smith", the former Rochdale MP who was investigated over allegations about the abuse of teenage boys in 1969. Lord Steel had told the inquiry that he was made aware of the allegations against Smith 10 years later and "assumed" they were true, but said they were "nothing to do with me" because they predated Smith's time in parliament. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse ( IICSA) report said that political institutions "regularly put their own reputations or political interests before child protection". It said Lord Steel was "an example of a highly placed politician turning a blind eye to something that was potentially troublesome to his party, with no apparent regard for criminal acts which might have occurred or for any victims, past or future".
  3. Hospitalizations here (Canada) are through the roof: Thankfully the ICU numbers aren't as bad. But plenty of surgeries cancelled/delayed, and the burden on health-care workers increeases. And deaths are also on the rise: Hopefully it will follow the same precipitous up/down path here as elsewhere.
  4. The Libs have never been particularly fussy about who they sat in parliament.
  5. In search of a winner he takes Lukaku off. And puts Werner on. 150 million pounds of under-achievement.
  6. I'm very interested to see what China does in the next six months. They continue this zero-tolerance policy, but is that possible, given Omicron's transmissibility/virulence? Can they really hope to function successfully in the integrated world without letting the virus in?
  7. I don't quite know what to make of that Laibach video. More Fritzl than Von Trapp. A bit of insight: https://dangerousminds.net/comments/laibachs_nightmarish_short_film_so_long_farewell_a_dm_premiere It and Dylan for me.
  8. Much against the run of play, Equatorial Guinea take the lead vs Algeria in the 70th minute. Scenes.
  9. He made two changes in the 88th minute, even though they'd given up the equalizer in the 81st minute. I can't decide if he was much-too-belatedly trying to go for the winner, or kill the clock to preserve the point.
  10. Was that Varane? Even with Maguire on the bench they're shite. Without De Gea they'd get hammered struggle most matches.
  11. Watford with an equalizer in the 88th minute. Nothing they didn't deserve. Howe shaking his head. Don't shake it too hard, Eddie, it might come off. Fuck Newcastle.
