Interesting. Do you not think this helps explains Starmer's ultra-cautious approach and beige policies? If Raynor is an example of the mud they've got to fling, they're fucked. In addition, these polls do not take into account the likelihood the Sun will flip for Labour when Murdoch realises he will definitely be on the losing side, as I expect it will. I don't think they take into account tactical voting either (might be wrong on that).  

To an extent, yes (on the cautious approach) but I think there are "positive" votes to be had as well which they may not get. 

 

One of the biggest attacks on Starmer will be the Savile thing which no amount of caution or reason will appease.

For people who like graphs like I do, the latest IPSOS polling is existential for the tories, predicting them down to 19% and 37 seats, behind the Lib Dems on 49 who would be the official opposition. Somehow Sunak is now less popular than Liz Truss ever was, quite the achievement.

People say it won't happen. Why won't it? How is it going to get better for the tories? 

 

 

 

 

I think some Tory "defectors" will be frightened back on board with a vicious election campaign.

It's the fact that the whip's spreadsheet records things that should be police matters that's the dodgy thing.

Not looking good for that fifth CL place. 

[St James’ Park]

I watched a local youtuber's take on this which made sense (Arena site development already started so not an option etc) and he reckoned the problem with Castle Leazes was some student accommodation blocks which are being demolished and replaced with an expanded scope which made it a non-starter. 

 

His conclusion was rebuild SJP post Euros but his suggestion of moving to a temporarily expanded Gateshead stadium during the build made it unlikely imo.

Is there not a cup we can draw Real Madrid in just so we've got the full set for the season?

 

Thpugh we did get Man City twice.

I've just seen the Chelsea penalty spat - it wasn't quite Bowyer/Dyer but it was quite nasty - I'm surprised the ref didn't at least dish out some yellows.

So was the one about Johnson and his lass having fleas and infesting Downing St a parody or not?

Aye. The tory member blokes fancy her (decent rack tbf) and the ladies think she looks like Thatcher.

Also not being brown.

Guardiola laughing like a cunt today. 

[Middle East Crisis]

When the ICJ case gave their verdict, they accused the UNWRA of being Hamas to deflect the story by using torture and lies. 

 

Now the cowards in the west have "noticed" the extent of their bloodlust that's been there in their words and deeds since the outset, they've provoked Iran to deflect again and have the nerve to cite international law and go crawling to the UN who they literally accused of being Hamas a couple of months ago. 

 

It's sad there are horrible people willing to react when poked but it should be clear who the worst of the lot are.

MOTD was a bit bizarre.  The marrative was that spurs were shit?  I mean they were.  But still.  

Mackemedia marra.

They need to show the one given against Burn (Luton?) for the foul continuing into the box to show up the corruption.

Maddison would be off if the ref had an arse.

Fuck me this season would've been a bit different without Barnes being missing.

Not enough strip contrast for me.

That's "our" Mbemba as well - seems to be doing okay.

It won't matter this time around but they're laying the seeds for 2029 though - if the tories do get their act together to some degree and they mirror places like Canada and New Zealand where sensible centrist so called  left of centre parties were elected with large majorities and then because they did the square root of fuck all had they their arses handed to them at the next election. 

 

This lazy "but you have to vote for us/Biden as the alternative is worse" may work once but seriously pissing off large demographics (see also the young in general) will cost them in the long run.

It's basically like watching the Fan Zone feed with these two cunts on. 

Sky is their shared tv station as far as I'm concerned.

Just popped out and came back to sky announcing an hours build-up to their most important game of the century. 

 

Is it possible for a group of humans to orgasm continuously for 3 hours?

Thing is they did the same thing they did for the PSG handball and even that Willock one against Palace - they showed them just the tail end to remove the context and also the one dodgy angle. 

 

Madness.
