Yeah, he doesn't take any sh*t. Though his last post to date was in response to someone saying they were going to report him to the police for threatening said tory activist.

"Dominic Cummings has hit out at Boris Johnson?s indecisiveness and described him as ?a shopping trolley smashing from one side of the aisle to the other? as a part of a blistering attack on his apparent inability to lead the country as Prime Minister." https://www.cityam.com/indecisive-boris-johnson-a-shopping-trolley-smashing-between-aisles-says-cummings/ (26 May)


Without having found this I'd have surmised DC meant something like "empty vehicle", "available to all", "gets filled up with whatever seems attractive or satisfying". Maybe those are to be found elsewhere in the corpus.

Haphazard, no control, directionless, suddenly veering off course...

tr: loutish behaviour


good article here:

I see Paul Hayward (sports columnist at Telegraph) also posted something about noticing a change in the demographic of football louts to a younger more chippy age group

.... and always an awkward, stuck, wheel in one corner squeaking and jamming as it spins the trolley persistently out of control !

Bloody animals , I know this family well they are former clients of mine and a really sweet family.


This reminds me when a load of England fans smashed up IKEA when England beat Sweden in the 2018 World Cup , so so ashamed to be half English sometimes :-(

NotImpressed is an inveterate Troll - that's for sure.

It's a shame he or she doesn't seem to feel any sympathy for this family who clearly had an upsetting experience.


There is nothing factually inaccurate in the post above though. There is often trouble at England matches, in and around the stadium and en route to and from. This trouble is by no means limited to England fans, but followers of our national team do seem to be amongst the more regular offenders. Add to the mix, the biggest fixture in recent times played at night, and the drinking that comes with that.


When the Danish FA sought out ex-pats and their families to replace the normal Danish football fans who couldn't travel, perhaps they should have provided better advice. It's certainly freely available elsewhere:

"You should avoid wearing football shirts or showing any kind of support for any football team because such shows of support might end violently since some rivalries are taken very seriously in the UK." from https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/united-kingdom/


The incident was a minor one. If the man felt he was assaulted,then that's a matter for the police (and there would be CCTV as it was on a bus) not really for a matter the national media. It seems the man himself and his boy recognise that saying "it was more annoying drunk fans than terror"

Well if they had held the matches in Cardiff away shirts would have been welcomed.

It's brilliant having many different coloured shirts around of many nations enjoying themselves.


I wouldn't wear a Swansea shirt in Cardiff obviously - that's the rivalry - but some do :)


Anyway you can't blame a victim - it's preposterous that at the Euro2020 final a family can't support their team. It makes me furious as many smaller nations would love to showcase their cities in these finals.

And if Wales were in the semi final versus England at Wembley I'd wear my Wales shirt with pride


actually in 2016 when we played England - I did - with no issues.


Anyway - I bit - because I like wearing football and rugby shirts :)

Cardiff City have a notorious football firm (hooligan element) - they have intense and violent rivalries with Swansea and others. None of these would come out to welcome fans if England played in Cardiff??


I've been away to Swansea and the fans (we met) couldn't have been nicer. I've also been out in Wine St, Swansea on a Saturday night when Swansea City had been promoted the same day. I was with family (no kids) and some friends from overseas. The atmosphere went from boisterous to edgy, quite quickly. I made the call that we shouldn't be there and we left promptly in a taxi. Most likely nothing would have happened...

Not sure - It isn't (wasn't - not been there for a long while) a football crowd - it's got lots of drinking too much and groups of people clash sometimes.


If a Euro2020 match was held nearby (Cardiff) I'm absolutely sure the rival teams would be welcomed.

Not sure whether it has been mentioned how much cocaine contributed to the antics of many. Including bum flare man. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/15595227/england-fan-flare-bum-strolled-into-wembley/ Although to be fair Chris Lynam was doing this 40 years ago.

Detectives have released ten images of people sought in connection with violence and disorder at the Euro 2020 final.

This is all getting rather sexist and racist, where are the pictures of the women involved? And ageist, hairist, beardist and tattooist. Why the assumption that it is all good honest hard working bearded balding white blokes, aged 25 - 45?
