While it’s an appalling waste of police time with a Tory chief cuntstable (sic) assigning ridiculous amounts of man hours to it. They were hanging their hat on this so it’s fucking brilliant if that was the best they could muster.

Who the fuck is that cunt?

Aye, Foot’s got more notoriety all these years ago for wearing a donkey jacket (in support of the miners) that was actually not a donkey jacket or intended as any sort of statement. Michael Hesseltine even repeated the lie unchallenged straight after Foot’s death

There was that time when Johnson turned up looking disheveled and hungover and god knows what else on Remembrance Sunday. Then the BBC used footage from (iirc?) the previous year on subsequent news reports covering it. Then just waved it away with “some stock footage is often used” or similar rather than any apology. You forget about loads of shit because they do it so often. Also, Farage isn’t even standing as a candidate but gets more coverage than any of the other small parties put together

Another completely balanced vox pop selection from the bbc

You also have to love someone like Mercer talking about the kids left behind without any joining of the dots in relation to 14 years of Tory rule

Also, as I think Renton may have previously mentioned, the disdain this government and their party have for young people is off the scale. Is this policy supposed to appeal to anyone bar reform voters who hate kids? They seem to be doubling down on it though so it’s all good if it makes their disastrous polling even worse

The de facto in laws are canny enough but they’re a bit socially conservative, shall we say? Even they think it’s a terrible idea and are dead against it

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9xx1w48wjdo Look at the people they’ve asked for their opinions on nashy serves here, man

I thought you were chatting him up

I’m sure Howe went mad when he learnt he’d been playing cricket the first closed season he was manager here

I saw that the otter day. Genuinely amazed he’s being allowed to play

He’s just too wee

Yeah, it must be pretty brutal unless you’re a top player with lots of sponsors etc. Even things like getting injured for 3 months and losing your income, ranking points etc. must put enormous amounts of pressure on people.

The latter is probably coming later in the campaign. Wasn’t they’d talk a year or so ago they were going to bring it in purely to mean they’d no longer be signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights?

Decent article that. I actually come into contact with a lot of these people through work. My role, amongst other things, involves liaising with trade unions. The biggest one is split into 3 factions, all ‘leftist’ with the most moderate one still being pretty left wing. They’re fucking obsessed with stuff like Gaza, encouraging members to get involved with stuff that probably breeches the civil service code. I’m not against the right to protest etc m, as you know, but I do wonder where their priorities are. This particular union represents literally tens of thousands of members who are working on the national minimum wage. Surely if you get involved with things like this and politics more generally on the left then improving people’s lives and making them better off is way more important than anything else. Especially above things you can’t influence. To give another example, their latest campaign is about trying to get a four day week trialled. I’ve got no idea where this has even come from but they’ve got zero chance of bringing it about and people don’t even want it. The civil service must have about as good a set of flexible working arrangements as you can get. Then more broadly speaking you have cunts like Owen Jones trying to divert Labour votes to independents and greens. At this time with this fucking Tory government? Also being totally disingenuous because the fptp system just means it’s only helping more Tory MPs retain their seats.

Clearly just desperation at this point. I bet this was never in the agenda but it’s going so badly they’re just making it up as they go along

No doubt very popular amongst that older generation who weren’t old enough to have to do it

Every cloud….

I honestly don’t think it makes much difference as it’s not much of a pull for players. It just would’ve been nice as we’d have had a good chance of winning it

It was kind of tailor-made for Man Utd if Man City didn’t quite click though. They’ll bang on about how amazing Man Utd were but they had everyone behind the ball looking to catch Man City on the break. There’s only a handful of sides that works against.

Yeah, the amount of added on time and then not adding any extra on for the time wasting after that was as ridiculous as it was predictable

Man Utd grafted like fuck, played the better football, defended brilliantly and fully deserved it really. Fair dos. The fucking cunts

Probably at least 10 mins left like here

Can you lay off the fucking predictions for just one day?
