If this is how France responds to European wins, then it needs a few years outside of European football.
Harsh punishment, but we're not talking isolated incidents, and people died.
Let's see whether UEFA want to prevent a short term drop in French TV money more than they want to prevent deaths.

Cannot praise Merseyside emergency services highly enough for how they've managed the past few days, but I fear the genie was let out of the bottle by rushing with the suspects' demographics.

If Labour are getting accused of undoing Brexit, they might as well actually fucking undo Brexit!
Why is it we can all see this, but they can’t?

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Even more terrifying than the numbers - the likelihood that Labour will conclude that they need to push even harder to the right instead of setting out why the cult of Farage is wrong, dishonest and corrupt.

Govt Green Paper proposes benefit cuts to “get Disabled people back to work” but offers ZERO realistic plans.
Instead, they’re cutting PIP which is NOT an employment-related benefit.

I'm not going to jump for joy at getting a few percentage points back from the value of what we had when in the EU.
Nor am I going to jump on the bandwagon of criticising Labour for it due to my fury about their behavior on unrelated matters.
Those doing either, truly do need a long summer off.

It's funny. I don't seem to recall the corresponding BBC headline on Saturday where the BBC recognised that by supporting the EBU's decision on Israel, they were aiding and abetting ethnic cleansing.

The BBC will sack Lineker for his humanity but pay Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg eye watering sums to rim Tories and push a right wing agenda.

Fernando "I'm the unluckiest driver in the world".
Threw away a WDC at McLaren rather than work for it, rejoined a weak Renault in a huff, joined Ferrari who were clearly a spent force, joined McLaren with an unproven engine supplier, then waddled along to Alpine and AM.
Grow up.

Pirelli’s new C6 tyre made its maiden appearance as part of the race-weekend at Imola but left everyone, including the tyre supplier itself, baffled when competitors struggled to make it last over a single lap.<br>The two Aston Martin drivers and Mercedes’ George Russell set their best laps in qualifying on the C5, which is the medium tyre selection for the Imola GP.<br>What’s all the more

#Eurovision boycott successfully completed but I will confess to having seen the results.
Removing the public vote is not the answer. The answer is to review the threshold at which you exclude a participant.
EBU's excuse is that technically KAN are within their rules. If so, the rules are wrong.
