They don't hear what he actually says anymore. They just see MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
No-one in their right mind could spend 5 minutes actually listening to him and say "There's a President"
And it looks like he's been persuaded to dial down the orange after recent comment!

Well I’m a lefty voter who has nevertheless voted conservative several times previously. I’ve lived in London for 62 years and would happily wander safely through any part of it
Perhaps by no-go you mean parts inhabited by people who don’t look like you - who you just don’t like?
@lucyfrazermp
Its a football match not a political rally.
But if the FA want to show their respect for the victims I would hope they will have a minute silence for the Israeli and Palestinian victims

@garytaphouse
I think it’s great. I’ve got hundreds of new followers and they’re all really young and fit hotties. I’m assuming I just have amazing sex appeal and the fittest dad bod ever. I’m just waiting for the replies to my date invites to flood in now…

Amazing that BBC & Sky News channels should clear their schedules to stream live. Huge compliment to Shane and high regard he was held in ❤️

Sorry Rob. Can’t agree. As I posted elsewhere, it’s not just the player that may have a medical condition, but they may have a dependent with high clinical risk at home too

Unfortunately in the era of post-truth politics it doesn’t matter what he actually thinks. He’ll just keep saying it, as they all will, because it gets through. Fortunately it only gets through to a dwindling number of their voters. Just like all their tactics, it’s a loser.
Absolutely incredible. To win league last year was no mean feat. Must be one of, if not THE hardest comps to win given the relentless schedule/travel required over a year. But a 2nd League virtually sewn up in less than 3mths is insane Unprecedented run of success in live poker?
He has done it AGAIN!
Congratulations to Calogero Morreale who won his SIXTH trophy of the year, winning the London 25/50 this morning.
Cal beat the monster 996 entry field to win it outright for £41,610 & 47.91 NPL points, which will extend his lead at the top of the NPL!
@IanDunt
You would have thought they'd have been thinking about their line in the event of a judgement like this. Amazing this is the best they came up with

I’d love to be able to afford that. Been a space geek ever since staying up nights to follow Apollo missions as a kid 😊. Always thought I’d see man go further in my lifetime and be that kid again…
@RacingPost
I’ve said it elsewhere but this will not bring crowds back. Joe Public doesn’t care about the race schedule. They don’t give two hoots which race Lossiemouth runs in. They want lower costs and a better customer experience.

@alanshearer
Have never enjoyed a post Palace match MotD analysis more. Also Shay Given highlighting why two Hendo saves didn’t “just hit him” as earlier Sky comm said, but deserved great credit, and also Mitchell’s clearance, which Klopp also suggested “just hit him” was brilliant defending
Well we made it but after grinding all day to build a decent stack to lose a massive chunk to a bad beat late on is really hurting . 18bb for day 2 then 🙏

The bubble has burst on the mystery bounty.
Paul Romain picking out the 10K Bounty.
Congratulations.
25 remain.
15k for first. Another 10k bounty will now be added to the box ONLY at the Final Table.

“Will of the people” my arse!
Show us a poll where “the people” don’t think it’s a waste of money, a waste of time, and won’t ever happen anyway…
Rock’s Poker Road Trip…Part 1
Left Croydon this morning on a month long round trip taking in GUKPT Manchester; 888 League Edinburgh; UK Poker Open Coventry & 888 League Luton 💪
Manchester here I come…after a Birmingham coffee stop 😊
@_GeorgeCPFC_
This is rubbish. The team had lost their way under Vieira and there were plenty of rumblings that the mood at the training ground wasn’t good. Yes there were easier games coming but we needed a lift to win them. Roy gave us that and the players respond to him.
@tony_calvin
Needs to be reported to Police asap mate.
I rarely keep more than loose change in accounts for peace of mind. Deposit what I need and take out what I win
@gazelligpoker
With no player history I guess I fold. He checks back his Ax one pair hands I beat, I don't block flushes, he has A4/A5 in his 3 bet range some of the time. And I don't see him having 30%+ bluffs here at this stage of tournament.
And if it's Terry Jordon I snap call and see 23o

You’re up far too early to have celebrated appropriately!!
Unless you’re “still” up that is? 😁
Well done mate, so chuffed for one of poker’s nice guys 💪
@mrhenrymorris
Lets not forget Covid killing thousands in care homes, PPE corruption, partygate, Brexhit, Rwanda shambles, multiple defeats in the courts, Truss breaking the economy in 6 weeks, (dis)honours lists disgrace, sex cases galore...and I haven't even had to start searching my memory

@Jesse_Norman
Completely agree. Hoyle did his best to get the best result for our Parliament not for anyone party. I couldn’t give a monkeys whose opposition day it was. If the SNP want to throw their toys out of the pram sobeit. Tories sabotaged Speaker’s intention for fair play all round.

If it will be the same as the Bulger case, where they’ll be given new identities on release, then I don’t see the point in naming them. The only people it actually identifies in practice, and therefore puts in danger, are their families

@TrainerGeezer
Thanks for organising and administrating this, it's been great fun - apart from the week I forgot all the York races!! Congrats to the winner!!
It's a new year on the NPL, but it's the same face!
He's at it again as Calogero Morreale took down the Luton 25/50 last night!
He beat the 525 entry field to take home £22,965 & 36.15 NPL points!
Well played.
@WriterJen
Been to play in Malta several times now. I'm on first name terms in the local Costa Coffee 🤣
Not this time unfortunately. Epic fail in the package satts and flights/hotels were silly expensive off my own roll so FOMO is real 😢.
It's a great place to play...
I missed this as you've stopped me depositing without info on my personal finances. Already been prevented from entering Aspers and Grosvenor casinos this year until I'd been quizzed over personal finances too.
Nanny state gone mad. My cash, my decisions, my responsibility 🤬
A big turnout last night on for the UK Open Closer with 359 entries in total.
Well played to the 63 players who made it through the night and will resume play at 7pm.
Good luck to all of your chasing the £6,605 first place prize and the NPL Points.
@MattWoosie
Jes looks like a kid who just needs to believe he belongs at this level. Almost literally saw him stand taller after he'd sat Toffolo on his arse. Has to get more minutes now to build that self belief and he'll kick on rapidly imo
Crippled AJ<TT by Callum Gordon and my 0.7 of an ante all in blind with 42 got beaten by Terry Jordon’s 98…flopping TJQ obviously! So I became about his 25th bounty of the day 😳
But very happy with 4th, having had Terry on immediate left for about 8 of 9 hours!

It’s a bit like when Corbynites took over the PLP. But they weren’t in power fortunately. This lot are. At least Starmer has been able to get Labour back from cloud cuckoo land in time to govern. The Tories have destroyed their electability for years by staying there to govern.
Whoever wins, I just hope that these awards reflect poker globally and not just the US and specifically Las Vegas.
Of the 266 award nominations across 4 years, 199 have gone to North Americans (75%), 48 have gone to Europeans (18%) and just 19 to the rest of the world (7%).

@ThePokerBaffer
has something to say it’s always worth reading. Latest piece about Norman Chad’s churlish tweets downplaying WPT’s success with $40m event and ensuing reaction
But if you’ve ever complained at a big live poker festival, you can educate yourself too. I did!!
@barnyboatman
Me too. But only since I set up a new account to replace the one that got hacked. Now I’m blocking half a dozen a day (while I still can)
@dklappin
I’d add the point I made on Facebook - that the structure for the Ladies event was pretty awful and not helping attract more women to the game. (Avg 15-20bb still several from the bubble) It’s their championship event at a decent buyin and deserved better I thought
@Handinapcomp
Bit more info needed if we’re to be complaining…
Why are funds frozen?
Have people been paid for last year or not?
When was account set up?
How many years successfully run?
Who is the “organiser responsible for holding the funds” for example
@IanDunt
Losing stuff you've spent ages typing is one of the most infuriating things known to man. Right up there with being asked about bloody cookies every minute of every day
