I dont think its a coincidence that our form has improved since he arrived

Need to win tomrorow. The outside chance of the playoffs will improve if we put together a run of wins from the winnable games coming up. this is about mindset.

When I mean respect a starting point would be not calling them names and be abusive. Personally I think you should respect someone's choice to vote for a legitimate political party. Some people who are often not as educated or experienced as they perceive themselves to be, seem to have an air of superiority that voting Reform or supporting MAGA is for scumbags. What this has done has encouraged more people to vote for those parties. My experience of people that would vote reform is not the reason you gave. I think they feel let down by the Tories and believe that many of the values that the Tories had, are, of all the parties, best reflected in Reform. They are rationale, well educated people.

I voted remain. My personal view is from a business perspective a renewed conservative government, with a reform party (fewer MPs than the Tories) would be the best outcome in terms of business and keeping the tories truer to their original values. People are entitled to who they vote for whether reform, maga, labour, the Green Party. You should respect it even if you don’t agree. Dont want to break it to you but you are not the owner of the truth

I'm not upset as I dont attach much weight to what people like you and he say. However, I have more self awareness so when people that are more balanced say something about me I will take that onboard. Enjoy keeping your head in the sand though. A lesson for me on this forum though, as Mark Twain said: Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience

Maybe focus less on others and reflect on what people said about you. You only agree with anyone on anything when it fits in with your narrow minded view of the world and other people.

Its farmer, SOG and Mickey. Others, you may have differences or spats but it doesnt tend to get personal or abusive. Saying people are racist, advocate sex crimes / criminals and the death of innocents is frankly embarrassing but an often reverted to strategy, all because you hold a different view. Today is a great example.

Which is why I say some of them live in an echo chamber. They only want to hear their left wing views and nothing else - everyone else is an idiot to them. Like you say not everyone but there are a few like that. A characteristic of them is they get abusive. It is pathetic.

Cut from 1.2%. 0.9% growth isnt brilliant. Oh, unemployment is up, weird, cant work out why...

I know, bit like your "job" I suppose.

I went to a northern red brick uni.

?

When I went to Uni (25 years ago), a lot of the lecturers and students who ran the University were vocally left wing. Most people ignored them but there was certainly no visual counter on the right. From what I have seen this position has been exacerbated. I dont know your age but over the last 30 years at least, universities have been well known for being a bastion of left wing ideology.

We can agree on that - streeting would be best and for the long term chances of the Labour Party too. Rayner will kill their chances at the next election.

And those educated by a education system riddled with left wing ideology
