I guess they are probably expecting the F-16s soon so their air defence guys are getting a bit twitchy

Brooks looked their most dangerous player when he was on. Odd.

Couldn’t think of anything worse than playing them cunts in a play-off final.

The left are bound to be more concerned about right wing broadcasters breaking impartiality rules, that’s just obvious.

Gordon Brown didn’t cause the financial crash but it didn’t work out too well for him. Fact is many people vote for selfish reasons and if they feel like they are worse off they are less likely to vote for the incumbent. The Conservatives try and win votes by painting themselves as the experts on the economy yet come ballot time everyone will remember this:

Because, even ignoring the rise in house prices and cost of living, it’s not as easy to get a mortgage now as it was in the 90s when I got on the ladder. Buying a house for me was actually easier than renting. To rent you usually needed to pay a months rent deposit plus a months rent up front to even get a place. I bought a house when I had next to nothing in the bank, that’s just impossible today.

I don’t think that’s fair. It’s incredibly hard for young people nowadays to get on the ladder compared to when I brought my first house, even for those with half decent jobs who are careful with their money. Renting is just throwing money down the drain so it’s only natural that many will be maxed out already and hit hard by the rate rise. Comparatively me and my parents generation have had it piss easy, many sat on massive equity with decent pensions just through riding the house bubble.

I wasn’t moaning about my mortgage, I’m on a fixed for a while yet. My point was that if people are struggling financially they tend to take it out on the party in power when they vote. I would imagine they will this time particularly given how the Conservatives crashed the economy so spectacularly causing rates to shoot up. That spell it out clearly enough for you or do you want me to draw some pictures with crayons?
