Before the two games at Wyeside yesterday all four teams and officials joined with a bumper crowd of supporters for a minutes applause as a show of solidarity with the people of Ukraine. A small gesture perhaps, by a grass roots rugby club, but one that was replicated at many sporting events large and small throughout the country. We stand together. Yep, most encouraging. Then you have those contemptible Chelsea fans chanting Abramovich's name during the same show of solidarity at Turf Moor; shameful. If this government had the cojones, it would not allow Abramovich to sell Chelsea but would instead seize it and allow it to fold. Serve the barstewards right. While on the subject of showing support for Ukraine, I wonder how many of the people clapping yesterday will cancel the holidays they've booked with TUI* because the biggest shareholder in the company is Russia's richest man, who supplies steel for Russian arms and was at the conference of oligarchs with Putin last Thursday. Not many I'd wager. Clapping's OK, but they're probably not willing to give up being carted around in buses surrounded by sweaty mindless oafs from Kettering and Coventry** in their cloth caps and their cardigans and their transistor radios and their Sunday Mirrors, complaining about the tea - "Oh they don't make it properly here, do they, not like at home" - and stopping at Majorcan bodegas selling fish and chips and Watney's Red Barrel and calamaris and two veg and sitting in their cotton frocks squirting Timothy White's sun cream all over their puffy raw swollen purulent flesh 'cos they "overdid it on the first day." * - I'm trying find out the owners of all companies I buy from, so that I'm not unintentionally supporting barstewards; it's a bugger. ** - Sorry, MT. I can see them banning Russian Roulette next. (sorry)

If I were in charge of the Western world the I'd definitely want everyone to think that Russia are getting panned. People aren't running round screaming that they're going to die and Ukraine don't need our help so everything is fine.

And when you finally get to the half-built Algerian ruin called the Hotel del Sol by paying half your holiday money to a licensed bandit in a taxi you find there's no water in the pool, there's no water in the taps, there's no water in the bog and there's only a bleeding lizard in the bidet.....

You twice eschewed the chance to use the only word with 5 (five) consecutive vowels in the English language.

It's three actually. When an opposing goalkeeper is taking a goal kick it is tradition to serenade them with "Woahhhhh your'e sh1t aaaaaaah".

When he is rightly put in charge of this place there are going to be some much needed improvements, including a chief moderator uniform. Attachments:

Almost fell off my perch when the newsreader said the Government prepared to fast-track the Economic Crime Bill through the Commons this afternoon; fast tracking would have been doing it at least a week ago.
Still, couldn't have these poor MPs missing their 3 day weekend off for the sake of millions of Ukrainian refugees, could we?
Also, I see they are going at supersonic speed to issue visasa to Ukrainian refugees, they've already issued 50; that'll make a big dent in the humanitarian crisis, I would imagine.
Proud to be British? Not at the moment.

To be fair, if they are 50 of the heaviest Ukrainians then we have, pound for pound, done much better than any other country.
