I gave up watching in the UK. Seems to be a competition between BBC and ITV to see who can "promote" diversity the most. Poor quality female commentary and feature promotions of certain countries religion e.g. before the Saudi Arabia match, constant promotion for womans competitions etc. Annoying and way OTT!!! I'm not against equality but not ramming it down peoples throats and at the expense of the World Cup. I imagine viewing figures will be well down as a result.

Seems to have a had a huge negative reaction.

thesun.co.uk/world-cup-2018/6581955/bbc-history-vicki-sparks-first-female-commentator-lead-world-cup-british-tv/

"Did you hear it? My God, I had to turn the sound down. She droned on and on. Hope she doesn't do an England game it will ruin it for me. Typical BBC choosing a women because she is, rather than because she can. "

"no offence to female commentators but they just don't sound right to me. its like a male talking sexy to me- doesnt do it. its all in the voice tbh."

"She had me reaching for the red button after 5 minutes, thank the Lord for Radio 5!"

Even John Terry had to "turn the volume off".

John Terry 'clarifys' that his tv was broken in response to fake offence "taken" at his comments on BBC's first female World Cup commentary.

metro.co.uk/2018/06/20/john-terry-explains-instagram-post-branded-sexist-towards-female-commentator-7647734/

Due to lack of freedoms of speech in my country, I have no further comments to make in a public forum.

Such sad times we live in.

by UK AC Wed Jun 20, 2018 11:12 pm

At this rate it'll soon be considered a hate crime to express a harmless non-politically correct opinion. Neutral

Actually, Terry already faced charges over something similar in the past I believe, maybe this is why he felt it important to 'clarify his comments' today.

The Russia World Cup is already proving the doubters wrong

Is it yet time to acknowledge that the World Cup is confounding the critics and proving that Russia was an astute choice to host the competition?

As yet, there have been no major problems with tournament organisation, tens of thousands of visitors are reportedly having a wonderful time and a spirit of festival and friendship is sweeping the nation, whose people are often portrayed by outsiders as gruff and surly. For the group stages of a major competition, which can be cagey and predictable, the action on the pitch has been entertaining too.

Everything’s going surprisingly well. Except that it’s really not that surprising.

Many of the prophecies of disaster that we heard routinely in the lead-up to the tournament were inspired by the British media’s unremittingly negative portrayal of Russia and transparent political hostility to the country. When police and officials from the Foreign Office offered reassurance to World Cup travellers, for instance, they were accused of complacency by aggressively Russophobic MPs in the House of Commons’ foreign affairs committee, who wanted to hear only bleak and frightening predictions.

Some of the most striking reactions to Russia so far have come from England supporters who travelled to Volgograd for their team’s opening match. On Twitter, the Guardian journalist, Shaun Walker, quoted one fan who was ‘absolutely loving it’; “It’s the opposite of what we expected, everyone has been amazingly welcoming”. The Independent found a teenager from Cheshire who was “weirded out” by the warm welcome he received.

I think it is worse than that.

As an American, I can plainly see that my entire life I was 'geared' toward Trump becoming the president. No shit. I grew up in Boston, but in that we are in such close proximity to NYC (we have a huge rivalry) I heard 'local' NYC news as well as that of the Commonwealth.

Anyhow, fast forward...

I arrived at GLP in 2010, just in time for the Obama/2012 craziness. There were some really good esoteric threads back then, and that is of interest.

Then Trumpmania started. I noticed that a LOT of his platform could have been written by any GLPer. Almost like our CT website had created this.

Or, maybe I am just paranoid. LOL

What do you all think?

Now we are seeing the anti-Trump stuff appearing with more frequency on GLP, and a rise in more esoteric topics again. Am happy about that.

Thank you for the invite here, Matjaz.

Very Happy

UK Deputy Ambassador to Russia Lindsay Skoll: “Everything we’ve seen has been outstanding in terms of welcome. All the fans I’ve met have had an absolute terrific time. Volgograd could not be a better host”. So much for all the scares about Russia.
