The package has gone through the house and senate so is law. It's part of a broader economic stimulus fixed in with trying to at least get a grip on the cost of healthcare specifically medication. If Trump gets back in... and the legislative branch has much stronger teeth in the US than over here so if the democrats can win an additional seat in the senate and keep their majority in the house then they'll be in good shape. 

I mean that's just not true. Diversification is necessary for those country's economies, especially so in parts of the Middle East where an over-reliance on natural assets has slowed growth in the economy in other areas. 

Something radical is going to have to happen for the Democrats not to get obliterated in November.

And 'd put money that Trump won't get back in.

60% of Republicans don't want him to stand and whereas they'd probably mostly vote for him in a general election, DeSantis will beat him for the nomination.

The bad news is DeSantis is scarier than Trump in many ways and will grab a load of those swing voters back that are done with Trump and his everlasting legal troubles.

I thought this was a good piece on what lies ahead.

That'll be his second goal then??

I make it his 4th and 9th for the season.

Mendez Laing is a massive player, my favorite in the team

After Stearman, obviously. 

Great goal by Stearman from a Stearman assist.

Actually, what's needed, is for people to mindlessly share it as a joke because they inherently believe in the philosophy.

Well that's gone down like the Belgrano

The Belgrano went down really well.

My missus on the other hand...

With broken toes there isn’t a lot doctors can do other than give you a boot or maybe strap it to another toe.

It’s one of those annoying little injuries like a broken rib that just takes time to heal so just try not to be on your feet all day. 

Can’t imagine the swelling will be there for a year, unless you keep aggravating it.

I broke my collarbone in March and it's just getting right now and it's still at a weird angle.

The missus broke her little toe a couple of years ago after dropping a pan on it.

I thought it was hilarious at first but when I realised how much pain she was in I insisted we went to the ER against her wishes saying they couldn't do anything.

She (and you) were right. All l they did was x-ray it to confirm it was broken and then put a bit of padding round it and sent her home. 

We, er I mean she, didn't get any oxycontin, just ibuprofen.

When you've got the airboot on, you can't feel a thing.

That's not true mate.

I had to wear an air boot and i could still feel despondency, dread and dismay when it came to Derby.

That pregame show was embarrassing. 
 

The 10 minutes before kick off is tense and what it's all about ffs.

I had a pair of white boots for Chrimbo one year ?

Yeah, but yours weren't quite the same mate.

The Gray Man (gray being the u.s. spelling). Action thriller on netflix in the 'Bourne' style.

A few amusing one-liners, Gosling is solid and there you have it.

No substance (not that this type of film is meant to have that), a seeming desire by the makers to show how much money they had by jumping from city to city and a Chris Evans villain who came closer to resembling Freddie Mercury than Freddy Krueger.

Interesting that @TimRam said in the Bourne style because about 20 minutes in I said that I thought the score had a very Bourne-feel to it.

However, imho this is way more comic-book (not surprising when you see who made it) than Bourne.

Mrs Badger and her friend would have given it a solid David Swindlehurst, whereas me and my friend would have said it looked a lot more like Vic Moreland.

Wow, they are defo still playing. Kudos to Shaun.

Sounds very much like CK may go from making birdies to doing bird. 

That jokes about par for the course with you. 

You're like an albatross around the neck of this board and anybody would have to be very green to think we can iron this rough situation out. 

Ill putter some tee on and hope you've driven a fairway and faded into the distance before I sit down for my chips.

Even Forbes are on it now. Definitely dodged a bullet

A bullet may not have killed us, we dodged Little Boy and Fat Man being dropped on PPS at the same time.

Meh. A few smashed windows and other criminal damage is rather insignificant compared to what will come if world leaders (and the people who elect them - in some cases) cannot come up with a plan to stop doing things that exacerbate global warming.

Sure, they could protest in a Priti Patel approved way but that kind of defeats the point of protesting.

Just because you're breaking the law doesn't mean you're being smart about your resources or being effective.

They're hardly throwing themselves under race horses ffs. This will change nothing, just create more polarisation.

I'm in agreement with much of what they say, but this is juvenile.

How about they figure out a way to break the law by, say, stealing insulation and installing it in pensioners homes. Or something actually creative that will raise awareness AND get people on their side?

Or rather not.

What a bunch of muppets.

How to take a subject that many people agree with you on and then totally turn them off.

That guy with the pink shirt on disgusts me.

He should be given a damn good thrashing.

Everybody knows you do a quick gentle tap first before aiming a hard blow at a chisel.

What an amateur, he could have broken his hand.

Based on positive comments on here I've started watching Spiral and now part way through series 3. It's superb and the Gilou character is brilliant. On BBC i-player and highly recommend it.

We started season 5 last night and you're right. I thought his character was a bit cartoonish in season 1 but it really develops.

The Undeclared War with Simon Pegg 

I utterly loved it to begin with, but then it felt hurried and the what seems to be th enow obligatory lesbian relationship just superfluous and added nothing to the story.

Some of the acting was great, especially Pegg, Mark Rylance and the female lead and the parallels/coincidences are amazing. In the program BJ has been just ousted as PM and the makers must have wet themselves with excitement when that actually happened in reality. Putin is also running rampant.

If you like psychological, very high tech covert spy stuff that is kinda scary in a this-could-happen kinda way, then you will probably like this and it's better than 95% of ITV dramas.

A solid Lee Carsley, but it could have been a Whoa Bobby with a bit more care and a couple more episodes.
