Just amazing that in the US a routine traffic pull over can lead to your death.
Another first for the US.
No where else in the world has that problem.
Coupled with a high chance of getting shot in school.
Leading the world, this land of the free.
You must be proud.

When my daughter played volleyball in JHS her coach was the most abusive , shocking disgrace.
I've ever seen.
I bided my time, took evidence and when my kids graduated I reamed her out and called her a disgrace in a meeting in the staff room.
Volleyball especially has some amount of nutters.

Posted in: UK gov't refuses to give way on pay as nurses, medics strike See in context
The rancid Tory party have backed themselves into a corner.
They know the NHS workers deserve a raise much higher than they are offering.
But if they do that then, the post office, border staff, rail workers, garbage collectors, barristers, teachers and basically everyone will demand the same.
They blew billions on their failed budget and faulty corona equipment.
And where's Johnson by the way.
Hardly been see since he went off in a sulk.
But conveniently it's reported he's made nearly a million pounds in guest speaking.
So why is it ok for the rich to make massive profits but the ordinary worker is supposed to accept a massive cut in their living standards.
Even a blind man would see something is wrong

I've watched 13 world cup finals and that was the most exciting since 1982.
That game had everything.
Anyone with some sense of football would agree.
The twists and turns the game had were just amazing.
Can't wait to see how crazy Argentina gets when the land with the cup.
It was just fantastic.

There's no such thing as an "undue amount of anti English bias" when it comes to football.
It's because of the arrogance of your media and the obnoxious nature of the england football supporters over many years.
Look what happened in your own country at the Euro final.
