  1. I'm still amazed by this response from GB News mind. They're suspending Fox for being misogynistic and saying it doesn't match their values. I mean.. what do they think their values are? This is their values writ large. It'd be like them suddenly panicking about Boris Johnson saying something racist. Surely this sort of thing is the whole point of their network.
  2. Who are the two blokes interviewing him? Can we get them to do inquiries in parliament?
  3. It's beautiful Why does GB News even care though, surely they've had people on saying more hateful stuff than this?
  4. Shit decade on my end too tbf, I've run out of a lot of patience and goodwill so maybe I now can't see whatever it is that Labour might do if given half the chance as opposed to what they're having to claim they'll do to get their foot in the door. I am so angry these days about the state of this country that I think weary, cynical resignation is all I have left. Whether the future is better or not I'm sure we'll be on here bickering about it until the day we die
  5. You have flip flopped all over this issue for years. You've condemned Starmer as firmly as I have on many occasions. You've thrown your hands up in despair at them. You're wildly inconsistent on this. I am not, and I'm sticking to my hypothetical version of things, while you go with yours. As we go through these conversations you throw in these sly little digs about my naivety (only you possess the maturity to see the one clear truth), or how convoluted my reasoning is (no explanation given, just stated) and then claim I'm dealing in hypotheticals one post before defending your own position as hypothetical too. That is why I am done with this. Its the sneering I can't be fucked with. I love ya man, but I'm done with this.
  6. Yes because the Tories aren't the ones I was relying on to fix this.
  7. So mine is convoluted and hypothetical but yours is stone cold fact huh? Labour will move left after having gone right this time, and everything you claim will come true. I see. I'm going to leave it here, I shouldn't even have entertained this.
  8. I'll vote for them when they start offering it and not before. The u turns we have seen from Labour since Starmer took over destroyed any faith I had in them and I'm not going to reward them for it. Just think about it for a moment though. If everyone in the country to the left of Labour voted for them here, why would they move any further left? Why wouldn't they just assume they were in the sweet spot? The more of us that don't vote for them, the more they have to move this way in some form to catch us. You may be prepared to trust in the benevolence of our betters as they move us unerringly into that sweet Scandinavian utopia, but I am not. I am going to hold their feet to the fire.
  9. I think permitting Labour to move to the right by giving them our left leaning votes just because we are scared of the Tories takes us overall further away from anything you claim to want. Labour would beat the Tories here with a far more progressive agenda than it has the balls to go for, it is a huge wasted opportunity. This is not productive or pragmatic, it's fearful and the result of being conditioned to believe we can't win. It moves us further away than ever because not only do we need British politics in general to move left to achieve it, we need Labour to do so as well. And Labour I guarantee you, isn't going to turn around next time out and claim that since we won this time we can afford to be a bit more ambitious next time. They will take victory this time as an endorsement of their soft right leanings, and will double down on it as proof that they were right. This proof will be that people who lean left voted for them anyway. I'm not going to be part of that unprincipled mess, I'm sorry.
  10. Well you let me know when you think your productive stance of voting for Labour as it moves away from the Scandinavian mixed socialist economic set up you claim to want is going to bear fruit then. I suspect Brexit comes good before we get to that.
  11. I'll keep an open mind but Labour are meant to be the reason to be hopeful and more than any other political force in UK politics are the ones who make me despair.
  12. I just disagree with your premise that voting for a right leaning Labour government is the path to a left leaning political agenda across the board. And if I can't get on board with that concept, I'm not sure anything else you've said is relevant.
  13. It's not even just about that anymore though, as much as that is my historic line in sand. In general there are no solutions and nothing to actually vote "for" from Labour. Just things to vote to avoid from the Tories. Mind you when the time comes my ballot paper will simply say "Rejoin the EU".
  14. I respect the view but there will never be a 'dealing with the replacement's weaknesses' moment. I'm done compromising for this shit, I'm too old for the fantasy that there is ever going to be a moment when it will be 'agreeable' for an actually productive discussion on how to help this country move forward. Every time we concede, Labour go to the right. Austerity, Brexit, the lot. I'm not conceding anymore, Starmer is going to have to bring his ass back this way if he wants my vote. I'm not being complicit in this slow motion car crash anymore.
  15. This. No one is coming back to vote for round two of Starmer's nothingness. The one thing he has going for him atm is the Tories being total shite.
  16. Apparently the handball rule is that for a goal to be chalked off the infraction has to be intentional (which this wasn't) OR it has to be unintentional but committed by the same player who then scores (also wasn't). This is a new rule for this season apparently. EDIT - beaten to it but aye, was the right call to permit it.
  17. I reckon we lose this one and I'm not fussed if we do really. Means a bit less fixture congestion in a season where I don't think we've got the squad depth to handle all the games yet. If we do win it, I expect Liverpool/Arsenal away in the next round.
  18. I actually respect that from him. It's a depressing indictment of the game (society?) that telling the truth is respect worthy rather than a bare minimum, but this is the world we live in I suppose.
  19. That sucks indeed, he's going to miss loads of CL games. Bet he's gutted.
  20. Howay man, that one was a more obvious penalty than the one he won against Brentford. He's tripped, he goes down.
  21. Yeah I wasn't convinced on Longstaff last season because of his wastefulness in front of goal but I'm sold on him now. Vital player to the team, and frankly it's great to see given his background and affinity for the club.
  22. Aye this one is going to be interesting to watch play out.
  23. What changed in this one though? Was the other one post-Brentford only?
  24. Beautiful. Brings a tear to the eye.
