Commentator just said of Szoboszlai's penalty off the crossbar that "he couldn't have hit it any better" and I think we need a total shutdown on that phrase until we figure out what it means

there's a brilliant In The Loop style movie to be made about foreign spies going increasingly mental at a UK council planning department
I like the idea that the Chinese super-embassy (and let's be honest, like all embassies - Espionage Hub) is going to have it's future decided, not by some government committee, but a council planning officer in Tower Hamlets

Worth noting that while the Telegraph is publishing some of the most detached from reality columns out there and encouraging unhinged commenters on social media under the cover of "free speech and debate", they are actively refusing to give right of reply to voices challenging their narrative.
I wrote to the @telegraph.co.uk at the time to complain about the false narrative about death squads & request a right of reply.
They ignored me.
Maybe they’d like to offer me the opportunity of an op-ed now?
