      There’s one Les Blanc French monsieur, Maxence LaCrois on the starting eleven for France. Who are we to criticize too much. England will be about 50/50 tomorrow against the mighty Panama.

    Just a small issue, but why is the entire labour ‘administration’ rushing around in a panic, squabbling about some twonk from the north while the UK is in a freefall of a financial, social, immigration crisis?

    Haven’t they go jobs to go to?

    The end of the BBC shipping forecast?
    By Simon Heffer;
    “For those who still have prehistoric radios – or let us call them, properly, wirelesses – another feature has become redundant. The BBC, the one British broadcasting organisation still to use long wave, will, from this weekend, cease to do so. Once, the 1,500m wavelength was used for Radio 2; when the latter went to FM, LW became an alternative home for Radio 4. Now, it is Radio History.

    The BBC does not own the technology that allows broadcasts on long wave. That technology is said to be near the end of its life, and its owners see no point in renewing it. The BBC is not prepared to pay for it to continue. It announced that it would be closing long wave down in 2024, to give the small numbers still listening on it a chance to find other means to receive Radio 4’s output: not least to ensure that the nautical world had time to obtain receivers that would pick up the Shipping Forecast on FM or DAB.”…

    BBC are retiring Long Wave transmission this Weekend. No doubt MW will follow. its strange – as only this week, the BBC declared they would divert (World Service) resources to inform millions of keen overseas listeners of BBC ‘World News’. Then they close ‘Long Wave’ which has the unique property of being heard across Europe or even the world (like Short wave). i am sure we shall not miss it, But i did at one time listen to radio Caroline and North Sea International radio stations (both on long Wave) that broadcast (illegally) outside the 3 mile limit (both banned by the UK Post Office as you had to have a radio license to Broadcast, ( the BBC held the only broadcast license in the country). So illegal stations were were called Radio Pirates at the time. Eventually the BBC opened its own ‘POP’ channels as ‘Radio One’, Two Three and Four. Many of the New (fun) Pirate DJ’s were offered legal UK jobs – at the BBC… many of who became well known names, that have now – either died (Kenny Everett) or gone to work for BOOM radio. Its an end of an era. And nobody listens to LW, not even for the BBC Shipping Forecast.

    I doubt that Burnham will call an early GE because there’s a huge possibility he will lose his seat.

    The voters achieved what they wanted by TTK stepping down and can now vote for the Party they really want.
    As well as that, the greens and libdems will get voters back and instead of getting less than 1% will probably get about 10% each and all from the Labour vote.

    He will no longer be an MP never mind PM.

      I’m pretty sure Burnham will reinstate the HS2 link to Manchester at least. This will cost a huge amount of money that the country can ill afford. I’m unsure what the cancellation of HS2 Birmingham Manchester cost in compensation to contractors I don’t know but the project seems to have a free pass. I’ve noticed that a lot of the cancelled route, where work has already been carried out and compulsory purchases made appears to have been mothballed rather than sold or given back. Perhaps reinstatement was always the plan, another Government lie.
