Hope the Craig Hope content doesn't upset PL. 🙏

I do think that's a good article indeed - and I think it's part of this overall problem in the debate around this. That article represents the spirit of what Labour should be saying in this debate. Sure, bring the numbers down, close these fake schools which people are using to take advantage of the system, fine - but even as you do so, approach it while adhering to the spirit of this article. People urgently need to understand the other side of this debate and there is absolutely no voice for it. That article speaks to just a subjective appreciation for the most part and doesn't directly look at the fundamental economic truths around our need of these people, but those realities are also relevant. As with Brexit, a huge number of people in this country simply refuse to believe or accept any of the downsides or negatives around their opinions on these issues, we are dangerously poorly informed as voters - and in fairness to Reform, that's not their fault. They're a single issue pressure group masquerading as a political party, we should not be expecting them to come out with the arguments against their single issue. We should however be expecting Labour to do so, in the spirit of that article, with additional facts, figures and evidence. To do this though, it would involve Labour also being able to point the finger at other aspects of society that are instead causing the problems we are struggling with (Brexit, private landlords, Brexit, a complete lack of government willingness to build new homes at anything like an appropriate rate, Brexit). They are simply not prepared to have these conversations, and as such have nothing to offer in place of holding up immigrants as the scapegoat. I was stunned to read that letter Starmer penned a few years ago which the Tories were holding up as evidence of his insincerity around the issue, specifically because it would be unthinkable for him to say anything like that now. But I went back and looked at opinions on immigration 2022 and the UK was 70% in favour. We're now at 52% against. Part of that flip is Reform, but a big part of it is also Labour's complete surrender and retreat.

You should stick a zero on the end of that stake. Guaranteed money.

I think the long sleeve version of that was the last time I bought any of our kit. Been tempted by the white kit this season but never bothered in the end.

My sister in law was born here. Her father is an Iraqi and her mother is from Ireland. She has family in their native countries. Yet she is quite vocal on immigration and how she is against a lot of it. Oh and she works in the NHS. Mental.

Just popping to the shops, anyone want owt ?

I stepped out of the office on Tuesday for a break between meetings and there’s a vintage football shirt shop I’ve been popping into for the past 2 years without buying anything. There’s always hundreds of red shirts and rarely any decent United ones. Not sure what happened this week, but they had some classics. The home ‘93 kit. First kit I got bought. As well as the blue and the green away kits with McEwans on the front. Home and away ‘95. They also had the denim away top, with Asprilla on the back. Turned into a very expensive lunch break. Takes me back to being a kid, and the excitement of getting a new kit and being desperate to wear it out.

Agreed This paragraph especially.

had £16.50 in me account, seems like a licence to print money, but happy enough to lose it!

Yeah there is a thing in architecture called the Bilbao effect, basically about how the Guggenheim started the regeneration of a former industrial town. It’s quite interesting.

I think there's always a chance of Man United spawning a result, they've been doing it for years. Ange can fuck off though, the self pitying, excuse making cunt.

Deduct them 30 points. Let them be the first Championship club to play in the CL.

Oh you'll be fine, just jack it up a couple of extra inches to be sure.

had planned to jack me little connect up and crawl underneath to do some welding on the sills. think I'll stop in bed now.

You try to do people a favour and bring some joy and entertainment to their Friday morning. Well I predict a very happy and healthy future for you all.

they love him in walton.

Just Nottingham ?

Is this a spin off from the classic "things Gemmill got wrong, but refused to admit it" which I believe ran for several seasons ?

declared forest were 'absolute certainties' for the champions league, at which point they rapidly plummet to 7th. he's the most hated man in nottingham since arthur fucking scargil.

Dock the cunts points. See if they will rest players for a European game if they're suddenly in a relegation battle.

Let them have their crumb's of comfort, we can rejoice in their tears soon enough.

mate's already chucked the towel in. easiest 3 points villa will get all season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c62nelr6zzmo chelsea likely to hit a cricket score too. painful viewing tonight I reckon!

For those who can't see anything. Don't adjust your sets. It's a list of all Gemmill's predictions that proved true. Stay tuned next week for part two of NOTHING.
