They have already raised the income threshold to 35K - do pensioners on more than that really need state handouts? I agree they should tax the rich more, problem is when Labour do it they are cunts for stealing our hard earned cash and handing it out to lazy scroungers, if the Tories do it it’s because they have no choice.

It's only you and mad Nic that don't seem to understand the difference in the fundamental ideologies of the two main parties. Labour will always get more slack when cutting benefits, just like the Tories do when they have to raise taxes. Sunak had to raise taxes when he was PM, just like Labour have to make cuts now.

I knew you would miss the point.

‘Nice and cuddly’ what are you on about? We all know that Labour are the party that love to blow all our hard-earned tax money on benefits for scroungers. I doubt Labour enjoyed cutting benefits any more than the last Tory government enjoyed raising our taxes.

Yeah of course, we all know the Tories tend to choose lower tax and lower spending on benefits, Labour generally choose to go the other way.

I think the difference is you can be pretty sure Labour are cutting benefits because there is little choice, not for ideological reasons. They are traditionally the party that tends to hand out too much IMO, it’s really not hard to understand why people react to the two parties differently.

Possibly, but it’s a tough one. Farke is obviously a risk at that level but it is probably more of a risk to rip it all up and try and start afresh just after promotion. I think the best chance any promoted team has is to keep a cohesive team together and try to add a bit of quality.

Why is watching England play so fucking boring?

I guess we will find out this year how easy it is to bounce straight back up.

This. He was a spectacular failure last season but he did get us promoted at the first attempt and the day out at Wembley is up there amongst my favourites as a Saints fan, I wish him well.

I don’t, I said IF he was tailgating, as reported at the time. Best wait til the trial, it is a weird one that’s for sure.

I said IF it was true that he was tailgating it would suggest he was in a hurry. I was just going by was reported at the time. Best wait til the trial. From what I saw from the videos it looks to me like a case of road rage spiralling out of control, the video that supposedly showed the start of it it appears to me that the crowd only got violent AFTER be started driving aggressively (reversing back and forward quickly). Obviously something may have happened before that and we will never get the full picture until the trial so it is all just speculation at the moment.

How do you know he didn’t know which way he was going?

I thought it was reported that he tail-gated an ambulance, it should become clear in the trial what happened but if true it would suggest he was in a hurry or frustrated. From what I saw of the first incident it looked as if the crowd only became violent when he started reversing and driving in a dangerous manner. Obviously something may have happened prior to the first video though so who knows.

Whatever crimes he is found guilty of, he tail-gated an ambulance through a police cordon now 79 people are injured so I’m happy to file him in the cunt category for now.
