If you're going to use what happened last night in Manchester an opportunity to spread vitriol and try to divide this amazing city by way of colour or religion, I'd like to point you in the direction of all the Muslim doctors and nurses who worked through to daylight caring for those who had been hurt, to the Asian taxi drivers who suspended all charges helping people get out of the city, to the Black security staff around the M.E.N Arena who risked their own lives to make sure everyone else was safe before they left the area themselves. This is a city built on diversity, a city that embraces and grows alongside the cultures that form in it. But more importantly this is Home. We won't be divided.
I am a british muslim who lives close to Manchester. No doubt we will all be tarred with the same brush again, thats already clear judging by what I have seen on social media today.
To anyone who generalises, get to know a real muslim first - I am happy to meet anyone on here for tea and a sticky bun
You realise that being white is also a race, how about those wonderful doctors/nurse/taxi drivers/security guards that just did their jobs too. Your quote starts by not wanting to divide the city by race then compliments select racial groups only for doing what any other normal human being would do. If anything your quote is actually stereotyping racial groups! Apologies if it came out like that mate, of course, that wasn't my intention at all. In this day and age where Muslims will no doubt be targeted in the aftermath, (look at the airtime given to Katie Hopkins today for example), was highlighting that even Muslims were involved. There are still those out there who think we (the whole Muslim population) support these satanic actions. Peace and love - one humanity

One for the tennis experts....
Bencic has been fantastic in her 1st round match today against Pironkova
I know she is coming back from a back injury but based on today you couldn't tell.
Can definitely see her winning Wimbledon in the next 2/3 years
But still showing 66/1 with jtan sames, is that value??

Coco Vandeweghe also progressed to round 2.
Bad news for backers of Belinda Bencic; the lovely Tsvetana Pironkova is favourite to beat her in their first round match. I'd guess that there are still doubts about her back injury.
you couldn't tell on the form she's showing today, her leg movement is so much better than a lot of the other players Still as high as 40/1 with some bookies

I feel obliged to contribute my 'information' via tft because i know it costs the boss money to keep the place going and i have made plenty from TFT over the last 4 years as well as giving plenty back to other users. If the bookies can help to pay for the ex's for us all to have a forum to donk around on and have a laugh it is a win/win spot for us all. They (the bookies) are effectively sponsoring blonde without having their banners displayed via TFT. Most of us have made plenty personally from TFT (if you haven't then where have you been). Obviously we have the occasional ruck between 'friends' on blonde but it is a pretty good place for the vast majority who are all way above average intelligence wise based on the politics discussion in the last week and numerous other threads. With regard to poker forums. Check out the number of posts on the betfair poker forum in the last year. It is more dead than Joe Hart as England's goalkeeper. Betfair used to be one of the busiest poker forums in the UK during the boom. Obviously it doesn't lose money because it is part of the bigger bf forum across all sports/products. It might give an idea about how relatively successful blondepoker.com still is as a poker forum in 2016.http://community.betfair.com/poker/go/forum/view/94146/165794/pokeri think blonde is doing well in comparison to other UK forums specially. AWOP at one time was awash with new threads everyday; these days it seems to be more of an informative site (dates of poker comps etc) and the majority of new threads are simply C&P from sites like Pokernews. Would be good if you could somehow capitalise on the increase in traffic and posts over the last couple of months
