The hooded fella ripping the rear number plate off. No video or pictures of the perp from the car to the police van, and 2 of the Manchester “event” survivors just happened to be there in the thick of it and get interviewed by the press - Daily Mail!

There must be no speculation online said the Assistant Chief Constable, as she went on to speculate that the car had tailgated an ambulance in order to access Water Street, the location of the incident.

Superbly written. You summed the occasion up to a T. But I cannot predict HOW they're planning to divide us on this. The City of Liverpool has always presented problems to those who seek to divide / manipulate / cover-up / murder. Will it be a local division between frightened footie fans starring a "BITTER BLUE", or will it be the same old national fault lines on race, colour, religion?

...thanks Pat, just received this in email, and u and Raymond came to mind, ud both get a laugh out of this i imagine, i never received as far as i recall this sort of message on SS... https://substack.com/@meralinda2?r=1uo2p8&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page&utm_source=direct ... i clicked on the 9 subscribers, and a 'Goddess Anns' displays the 'following' message... 'Are you ready to obey and serve a dominant goddess 😵‍💫'...i'm tempted to reply that i already am doin that loike...if u only took the time to understand my comment!...😃...🙏➕🙏...edit:.. i forgot to add, no doubt u understood, that everything we comment online is monitored...hence that probing message!...

You're absolutely SPOT-ON that Brookside did better than this. Billy Corkhill was MUCH BETTER ...

Yeah good one, have it there, the running man might be the remake , Google just told me it wasn't lol, but had many similarities, one from Stephen king the other from a short story, allegedly they are remaking the running man they'll be some brainwashing in that.

Nolte, nice. I'll look that up, watched him in Cape fear Saturday night with Jessica Lang, the original black and white was epic.

Norman made a good few flicks, OPM was priceless, be sure they were scripted narratives.

Thanks for the links Gerry.

Your legs were made to be admired, Gemma, not to play football, so your snooty attitude to the fabulous game is easily understood!

...imo Liverpool football team and the so called beautiful game which has long been a corpse couldn't lace Gemma's boots!...'from here to eternity'... so i guess i agree with the first part of ur comment...she referred to the players, not the game as moronic, i skimmed the post, will read later, that's what i read or skimmed...and for good measure, if someone, for exampls a psychologist or. psychiatrist approached me on a comparative basis, and enquired of me if liked Liverpool FC and the beautiful game, my reply in the definitive is no, and that applies to all teams...if my protagonist probed further, and pursued the matter so far as whether or not i have or ever could have a 'crush' on the club named above or the beautiful game, my reply is a resounding no...reverting to 💎ma (Gemma!) as the subject in the contexts of the above, and at the point i'm asked, having already declared my liking in the affirmative, whether or not i have or could have (or wield!) a 'crush on Gemma, my reply inclines rather emphatically towards my convincingly emphasizing that my enthusiastic and resounding 'yes', to the first part, renders the second part flatly and spectacularly redundant!...i'm retaining my sense of harmony with the nature of reality, and my perceptions are not, and refuse to be blunted, at any cost, by the preposterous malaise of the current and rapidly passing age!...i've discovered that i quietly revere 💎ma, in a genuine sense that compels my general experience in complementary terms that i find most agreeable, and it's more like so much of who indeed and what is associated with football etc is far more snooty in it's dreadful and incessantly moronic condescending never mind witlessly and tortuously boring and 'crushingly' pedantic...💎ma.... 💖... 😀...

... something like that Raymond, heard of that...btw here's one u'd be well into 'Rollerball' 1975, James Caan and John Beck, i recall i had watched it, around then, can't recall where however, and i thought t'was weird, hadn't known what to make of it, now looking at a few short clips on line earlier, it seems that is one of the most important films out there, and where we're goin now... i'll link them to u soon or later...and North Dallas Forty 1979, Nick Nolte is in that... it's well worth looking into Rollerball, u may even recall it...i'm posting the links in a minute, or soon...not doin threads if possible...here they are... https://youtu.be/40W8Lhp_Bjg?si=sm1z4wsxjHb6RBNJ ... https://theconversation.com/norman-jewisons-rollerball-depicted-a-world-in-which-corporations-controlled-all-information-is-this-dystopian-vision-becoming-reality-222099#:~:text=Set%20in%20a%20dystopian%202018,outlets%20that%20once%20served%20 democracy ...

Can you not see that soccer is a distraction away from important issues ? Hence, many countries have a minister for sports. So what if Chelsea beats Arseanal ? They hump each-other on the pitch like bandits. Imagine how they misbehave back in the showers. No need to get exited unless you won money on the pools Fifty thousand retards shout advice to their team expecting to be comprehended.

Gemma is correct about the boring nature of the bad acting. The plastered "witness" in red needs subtitles so civilized people can comprehend her script. Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder.
