That bug M&Ms shop as well

Madam Tussauds. PL footballers can’t fucking get enough of it.

What the fuck is the draw of London? If you are wealthy beyond the dreams of most human beings just fucking commute to London for your social shenanigans ffs. You can fly there, go in a chauffeur driven limo, stay in the most expensive hotel you want rather than playing for some shite club with another 5 of you on the bench

Aye, why can’t they produce a shirt that matches my exact expectation of how it should look? Had anyone mentioned recently about how entitled boomers are?

I know. I just think they’d renege on that promise once they didn’t need PR. A bloke who cosied up to Trump isn’t interested in PR from the point of view of it being more democratic

Well he spent ages trying to become an MP. Only to not actually do the job once it happened. Much like when he was an MEP. So the point about whether he wants to govern / actually put the time in is a good one

It’s a nice dose of nostalgia for them back to when they used to spend big money under Ellis Short which resulted in those glory days of circling the PL drain like the turd that wouldn’t flush.

I want to be clear here that I'm not saying I would take Reform Gloom said it was a shame Labour wasn't going to implement PR and I mused that Reform at least have it squarely on their manifesto, and whatever you may think of them part of their angle is being reliable against what they promise. Their manifesto references being a 'contract' with the voters, so I think we'd have to acknowledge that they do indeed intend to implement some of this and PR is quite probably one of the easiest ones because it doesn't really cost anything compared to 90% of the rest of it. If they win I think they'll bring it in. Doesn't make it worth them winning, but it is a silver lining.

Personally think it should be an article.

two words: money and london

there's also the question of whether he actually wants to govern, or not. i suspect the latter because it's too much hard work. he's a campaigner, an effective one at that. i think his goal is to pull uk politics as far to the right as possible (something he has already managed to do) while having his say from the backbenches, or possibly the cabinet, as part of a coalition government.

I think you're being naive thinking Farage would support PR if he actually somehow won a majority. I wouldn't trust a word he says personally. I think he'd set back the UK in the manner of Argentina. Markets would lose confidence (sorry, but that's important), the economy would be destroyed, public services would be decimated, Scotland would be in open revolt. Oh, and you can forget rejoining the EU or even closer ties in a lifetime, he'd poison that well. We would come out of it but our children's futures would be ruined. I'd obviously lose my job on a personal level probably on day one. I don't think Farage will win a majority however. There are plenty of things to go wrong for his party, he has a track record for it, I just can't see him holding it together and persuading middle England once he is forced to produce a proper manifesto.

That whole article could have been one word "money".

He was pushing it when the two party system combined with FPTP meant PR was an expedient solution to (for example) 7% of the vote getting his party about 7% of the MPs in parliament. If that’s no longer the case he’s not going to pursue it any more, ie if c. 30% gets him a majority

You sound like a Reformer.

Not sure, naive for what? I'm not for a second saying I'd vote for the silly daft bastard, I'm just pointing out that he'll likely do what he says on this one as he's been pushing for it the entire time he's been politically involved. I also don't think it'll destroy the country tbh - Trump and Brexit prove that countries can survive a lot of shit. It'll be horrifying, but the UK will exist on the other side of it. I'm really just saying that if we have to have a party of incompetent fascists in charge, I'd prefer them to be pro PR.

I was already wishing for the season to start, but fucking hell those dickheads are in dire need of a dose of reality. Fortunately the PL has been dishing up reality of the starkest kind to newly promoted teams for a few seasons now. Even the ones that haven't been that long out of the PL have had their arses handed to them, never mind teams that haven't been there for the best part of a decade.

First two sentences here, off the charts irony. Rest of paragraph, I mean, imagine. Where do they come up with this Bullshit? Reminds me of the days when journalists used to constantly repeat the lie we'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0. There are hundreds of oages of this shit now on the SMB.

Why do they think everyone will be impressed at them doing what everyone else has done for years? They really have been away a long time

I've played that. It's like guitar hero with more strumming....and your fingers stink of tuna brine.

Ah thats my neck of the woods...

Wonder how they'll comprehend being back in the Championship next season without being champions.

As if it's not bad enough that she's lost her job, you're riding her husband ffs.
