Well, me either. But the community is enough to keep me around, even if it is largely the politics threads for me. I do appreciate you're a family man with other responsibilities now of course but you're a pillar of the community, not that the community would ever admit it @TheGingerQuiff has been beside himself with you not around.

Aye but the thing is, why has she come out with it now? It'll be to put the pressure on over Brexit - I can get behind that for sure, but literally everyone on the other side of Brexit will immediately dismiss it as a hatchet job, rendering it pointless.

You should post more tbf

Are you firing up the old comedy twitter account again?

I consider it a good result tbf. The sooner we go down the sooner we lose Bruce at the very least, and maybe, just maybe, if we can stay down - then we can lose Ashley. He is -never- going to go while we remain in the PL. If the choice was between 10 years with Ashley or 10 years in the Championship, but Ashley fucked off after season 5, I'd take that all day long.

How in fuck is that a private matter for a sitting Prime Minister?

Now we'll get Bruce telling us that the sending off cost us, and the number of injuries, etc. Then some comment about how there's no excuse.

I don't disagree but in fairness, they'll call it an "extreme left wing purge" reminiscent of Venezuela.

Bring it on tbh. Perhaps, like Sunderland, we need a double relegation to get rid of our owner. I would just about take administration over Ashley at this point.

She's standing down anyway isn't she? She's an irrelevance now.

This sounds like it's going exactly as expected. How late in the season do you think it'll be before they pull the rug out from under Bruce? I'm guessing March.

I would be amazed if we get anything off you today. In the same way that I'm amazed when we get any points off anyone.

I don't really follow the guy's progress but he seems like a tragic keeper at times

Farage is currently under police investigation for talking about taking a knife to civil servants once Brexit is out of the way, so I feel like some common ground can be achieved between him and Johnson... If his plan is to force the opposition to push him out, it's fairly clever IMO. Will gain him more votes than just resigning would.

Maybe so, but he might get away with a GE and Brexit by doing the political equivalent of throwing a hand of poker. In this case, the hand being his current government. If he keeps doubling down to the point where he becomes a threat to national security, they'll have to remove him - and he might well emerge from that with "the people" onside thanks to the cult worship of Brexit.

Sure, but if the opposition lose their nerve and vote him out, then he'll claim they're the coup.

Unless his intention is to have himself removed from power before requesting that extension. I could see that scanning with some of the electorate.

So, state of emergency anyone? Apparently that's the next gambit from Cummings, now that the "riots" narrative has been established. Hasn't been used since 1974 but would allow Boris the ability to ignore the Benn Act. Starting to think we might just need to get him out of power and have done with it.

Aye, almost certainly.

I still think if we just fucking kill off Brexit, and the media moves on, all that will be left is the small rump of hardcore europhobes that existed to begin with. Things like abolishing the supreme court won't come to pass in the end.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7512509/My-Little-Book-Brexiteers-Want-Stab-notepad-advertised-Amazon.html The Daily Mail is outraged over a blank notepad being sold on Amazon called "My Little Book of Brexiteers I Want to Stab" and is calling for aggressive language from remainers to be toned down.

It hadn't actually occurred to me that this is probably in response to lowered ticket sales

That's just repellant. What kind of newspapers report on this stuff, seriously...
