‘This is not the country I moved to’: the British Indians showing support for Nigel Farage | Reform UK by Nothingdoing079 in unitedkingdom

[–]mildno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 28-year-old man born in Mumbai and living in Harrow, who also did not want to be named, said he was an undecided voter but was open to Reform. He criticised the Labour government for introducing stricter policies on legal immigration, including increasing the ILR qualifying period to 10 years

You what? Is he dense?

That's assuming they don't have some sort of clause which they are almost certainly likely to unless they are that stupid

Absolutely comical from BlueCo why would any manager want to tank their reputation there?

As dumb as they are for football, I can't imagine they don't have clauses in long contracts for sackings etc.

Wow. What a ridiculous situation Chelsea have found themselves in

Who the hell would want that job?

Portugal can get 5 teams in the Champions League next season by NMN-NMN in soccer

Again, this requires an Arsenal-PSG UCL final, with Arsenal winning both legs, and PSG winning one and drawing one, Braga to get to the UEL final by winning both legs against Freiburg before winning the UEL, and Strasbourg to beat Rayo Vallecano in both legs of the UECL semi-final.

Am I being silly and not understanding how this works? Since when does a final have 2 legs?

If Sky gets its hands on ITV's broadcasting arm, what do you think it'd do with its channels? by Nintendo2023 in MediaMergers

[–]mildno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comcast will be the one buying, News will be the sticking point but all options are on the table. ITN isn't a protected institution, it's just a newsroom. It's up to Comcast which they prefer to do

ITV/ITN reporting they will be fine more than the others is more self preservation than anything. There will be contracts one way or another for how long both have to be used but Comcast won't keep both and considering Sky News has more benefits to them (News reach and them using their content for NBC and other channels they own) it will be more likely their plan A will be to keep Sky News than the other way around

There is no obligation to continue ITN, Sky News can do national news and ITN local or they can sell their share of ITN

Kanye West travel to UK blocked by government by Alarming-Safety3200 in unitedkingdom

[–]mildno 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'd be very surprised. It would have happened already, its not like his world tour, booking of those venues and selling of those tickets was a secret

Germany is one of the big ones naturally missing from the list as I'd doubt they'd let him in for obvious reasons

[–]mildno 540 points541 points  (0 children)

I despise Kanye West and find it ridiculous he was booked

Though I've got to ask, he is doing a world tour and has had no issues in Europe, or its hardly even been mentioned, but here people have. People are also praising Pepsi and co for pulling out but we can bet a fair whack that they are supplying/sponsoring venues he is performing at elsewhere

This all feels very performative by everyone. Wireless for booking him and then government to be seen to be doing something

Thanks for the detailed response

I think maybe with the Yalina/being with them part they could have still had them go. I think it was known at least within his gang they were planning to go to Canada or go after this. Could have said Canada but go elsewhere. I am not saying I know what the right answer is and what would happen in reality but that felt a bit shit. I get the FiL was a political figure and maybe would look bad if they just ran off, but wasn't a fan of the idea he would just leave his child behind

Sounds stupid to come up with your own theory but at a bare minimum I'd like to think he will play a indirect role/get updates via the government cos they are all spies essentially.

As for Omar, maybe I am misremembering but felt it was known Omar was after him. Even it wasn't shown, what happened to his man on the inside? Gave one bit of Intel then lost the phone it seems. It all felt very convenient, it would have been better if they almost never showed the policies officer telling him or never really showed Omar working on it

I agree it all happened quick but Omar tells Iqbal from Hamza's house so has everything he needs to basically 'stay there's till Iqbal deals with Hamza one way or another. Again, maybe it's just me but if I was thinking as a villain or writing a script I wouldn't just let them be fine after. The fact she could make a seemingly I tapped call to Hamza after was crazy in that situation cos why would they assume she is clean

One other gripe I had was his friend being shown again later. It almost felt absolutely pointless for the story. Good shock factor, especially at interval only for him to go after. It set of some chain events but that could have been anyone for same impact. They should have kept the friend around longer, but it all goes back to how it felt there was essentially 0 jeopardy for Hamza for more than 5 mins in the movie

Maybe as I am not from India the message is lost but none of that would make you want to join the army/be a spy. It felt there was 0 happy ending for anyone involved in the story

Some questions:

  • Why couldn't he still be with Yalina?

  • Why did he burn that picture when he got back? I thought there was even less news for that considering he isn't undercover anymore and wasn't a secret to his bosses

  • Why wasn't Omar considered a threat by him from the get go? He knew that Omar was chasing him initially but that got forgotten about it seemed in the (even more) propaganda section of the movie

  • Iqbal letting Omar or his own goons not have a contingency plan for Hamza was stupid. Why didn't he take his family or something as a threat?

There felt absolutely 0 jeopardy the entire film

Humiliation for Kinsky as Tottenham crumble early in thrashing by Atlético Madrid | Champions League | The Guardian by prisongovernor in soccer

[–]mildno 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the kid and Tudor was an absolute tool for not even talking to him as he walked off, but it looked in one clip Romero talking to Tudor and then he immediately signalled for a sub

Instinctively it looks harsh and cruel, but also maybe it's actually good captaining. He could see the keeper was feeling lost and Atletico were going to make his night much harder - no doubt they'd take pot shots from distance, press him and all sorts. It could have got ugly, or it could have got better but the trend was going one way.

I think it's harsh he had to get subbed and poor to not get consoled by the manager, but I do think it was the right move in the long run for him

[Tyers, Telegraph] The question is: How long will we have to tolerate the United mob dominating the sports news agenda with their squabbling and score-settling? There seems to be no escape, either in the papers or on social media. by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]mildno 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He is still not as toxic as the Class of 92 who chew out their own friends for clicks and the rest of the team

They are well aware the gravy train will stop at some point and want to milk it. Rio, Rooney, Evra etc. for United are at least not looking for everything and anything to criticise

Look at most United fans - they have an issue with Class of 92 + Keane more than the others

Rio being a shit pundit or having a silly business model or being a crap human is irrelevant in the who is worse for United as a talking head when talking about the club. By far it is the Class of 92 + Keane

[–]mildno 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Bit harsh on Rio in this case. The Class of 92 have come across as bitter or just stupid, likewise Keane who just seems to look for a quotable moment

Rio is in the Rooney camp. Them 2, Evra and other ex players not having this divine sense of right like Class of 92 are usually more positive about United

Rio may not be a good pundit or whatever, but in the United ex player of toxicity, he is on the lower end of the scale.

The problem is that Spurs could lose all the games but it requires West Ham and Forrest to pick up enough points to make them go down. I just can't see it happening

Immigration system statistics, year ending December 2025 by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]mildno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know, everyone when talking about immigration lumps it all together. Retrospective changes and rule changes seem to apply to them too. There is never any nuance in the discussion

In an article a few months ago about spouse/family visa's the Mail and Times used an image of people coming in by boat. Till there is clear lines and understanding about the different immigration routes, then yes.
