What's causing a buzz among readers today? In this edition of MetroTalk, we discuss the potential impact of global pop sensation Taylor Swift on President Joe Biden's declining popularity. Additionally, we delve into the recent resignation of England's manager Gareth Southgate and whether his achievements warrant a knighthood. Plus, one reader shares their unwavering love for cats and apologizes to all the dog lovers out there. As always, we invite you to share your thoughts on these topics and more in the comments below.
As more and more Democrats call for Joe Biden to withdraw from the US presidential race due to concerns over his age, one reader from London suggests that the only way to convince him to step down may be through the influence of Taylor Swift.

Moving on to our reader's opinions on recent events, we received a comment from Stephen about a newly discovered cave on the Moon that he suggests could be used as a nightclub for goths. However, another reader, Richard from Shipley, jokes that there's no point in having a nightclub on the Moon because there's no atmosphere. Meanwhile, a reader named Dec from Essex reminisces about the time when The Lion Sleeps Tonight knocked The Jam's A Town Called Malice off the top of the charts in 1982, causing him to weep.
In a more serious tone, Linda from Harrogate thanks us for our tribute to Gareth Southgate, the recently resigned England manager. Despite not being a football fan, she was touched by our tribute and commends Southgate for bringing England out of their international struggles and making them a serious contender again. However, a reader named Scott believes that Southgate should be knighted for his efforts, while Alfie from West London strongly disagrees, stating that knighthoods perpetuate the class divide and there are other ways to show appreciation.
Our next topic sparks a debate on the cleanliness and safety of dogs versus cats. Eric from Birmingham brings up a recent incident where a man in Yeovil suffered a seizure in bed, causing his dog to panic and maul his face. He argues that dogs are "dirty, dumb, and dangerous," while cats are "clean, clever, and cuddly." Do you agree or disagree? Let us know in the comments below.
In a lighter note, T from Glasgow questions why British people living abroad refer to themselves as expats when they are technically immigrants. And Milch from Chigwell praises the staff at London's West Ham station for their efforts in guiding people to use the correct line, stating that the station is notoriously difficult to navigate.
Lastly, a reader named RA Haynes from Eltham shares their concern about the number of reviews being conducted by the Labour government, suggesting that they may be using these reviews to compensate for a lack of policies. Do you agree with their sentiment? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
