Just watched the Warrington v Wood fight from last night. If you haven't already and don't know the result, or even if you do, it's worth a watch.

New world record for the marathon set in Chicago today. Now it stands at 2:00:35 and the sub 2 seems like it's going to happen some time soon.

Is that with the new generation of rocket propelled shoes?
-
Yes, they're all running with Vaporflys now I think. They're considered legal by World Athletics, although there's a legitimate argument that Nike has too much sway over their processes, but to be the shoe that runs the first sub 2 in race conditions (i.e. not a track run with multiple pacers) is invaluable.

I did momentarily wonder if he'd been running around in his large intestine or some such.
-
Cracking finish. (In relation to Russ’s post on the Warrington, Wood fight)

Anti-Semite.

Why these lying hypocritical enemies of society are not in jail, I will never understand.

That's pretty much how it seems to work.
It shouldn't be controversial to say "don't commit atrocities as a reaction against fascism AND don't commit warcrimes to punish atrocities" -
I'm impressed/surprised this happened under the Tories. Is he not a donor?
-
Yer, but he's nearly dead.

He famously donated a lot of money to Labour, though that may have been more to do with services rendered than political aleigance.
