    Not sure I’d fancy using one, although it still looked safer than a Uber.

    I was right then? It was just a guess.

    Had heard stories about drones of some kind in London soon, though I wasn't sure if it was drones to transport blood supplies or drones to film protest marches or drones to track moped thugs who snatch mobile phones etc.

    I should think the fare for a drone taxi will be a few bob more than an Uber :emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash:

    It’s going to be more difficult for the drivers of these things to accidentally on purpose go the wrong way, and add £20 to the meter ….

    The Metropolitan Police says that up to 75% of organised crime in London is now foreign and more specifically Albanian controlled.

    This includes County lines and modern slavery - Albanian controlled.

    Albanians now make up the highest % of foreign nationals in UK prisons.

    2% of the total Albanian population known to be in the UK are currently in UK prisons.

    Any immigrant found guilty of a crime should be deported immediately.

    100% this.

    If you are foreign born and you are convicted in a UK Court of a crime that warrants a custodial sentence, you first serve that sentence, and then you are OUT.

    No bleeding hearts like “what about his ‘uman rights “ and “I like his family they live upstairs from me , they are really smiley” …tough …. OUT.,

    I'd not let them serve their sentence, go straight back Into the bargain it would reduce overcrowding in our slammers as it is.

    Killie beat Rangers, playing 4-2-4 with 2 wingers. Dixon's debut was promising enough to suggest we might well play him and TC together at some point, though we'd only play one striker unless we were chasing the game.

    Xg sounds a bit too Elon Musk for me.

    What a great guy Musk is. Although I disagree with him on Ukraine.

    I watched the game.

    My genuine opinion - absolutely dreadful. League One standard.

    For a great club, Rangers have a team that is lower Championship at best.

    They currently have no Chairman & CEO, and their non entity of a manager is clearly on borrowed time.

    I don’t understand why the SPL allows artificial pitches. The game was an awful spectacle, and you can see why the Scottish national team and Scottish clubs are struggling so badly at the moment.

    Killie are getting rid of the plastic and playing on grass next season. About time too. Apart from the fact that football should be played on grass these pitches are bad environmentally, as are plastic lawns.

    Did you watch yesterday’s game ?

    I don’t think Rangers have a single player I’d want in the Charlton team.

    Even Jack Butland looked poor.
