I put a genuine laugh emoji on your post but I recognise the serious point underneath - none of us is politically or socially homogeneous in our outlook all of the time or even most.

I’m more right wing than most on law and order than my other views. Even 🦆 called me out on it once!

Yes, but why not be different to certain posters from further SE England? Like anyone, it’s boring to read posts referring to huge broad ranges of people eg ‘the left’, ‘the right’, ‘far right’, ‘Antifa’ etc. I can only speak personally, but it gets up my nose and it shows a lack of understanding (although often it’s done to wind people up). Whereas when people actually want to discuss the issues even if their views are different, I find that interesting.

Fry already left and out of contract IIRC, gone to Brum.

Carrillo has returned then.

Respectful don’t agree Turks 😉 Raise the Colours duff up and try to run over people who don’t want the flags on public infrastructure (see Stirchley and other examples above). How many times have you heard the insult ‘Leftie’ on here? I’ve seen ‘Leftard’ on here as well. ‘The Left’ wildly bundled up into One Nation Tories, Liberals, Blue Labour, Old Labour, Corbyn’s oddballs. They’re as bad as each other. Even thinking that anarchists are better than white supremacists or violent trans activists or zionists/Palestinians vice versa is a slippery slope and engages me a millimetre closer to any of their agendas than I ever want to be.

The dangerous Paul Walter gone c and b Baker

They’re all dangerous and have violent intent. Far left, far right, Arab, Zionist, they’re frequently single issue fanatics. They all think they’re superior. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21ev78ng4o https://metro.co.uk/2026/05/28/raise-colours-founder-billy-allison-charged-murder-bar-owner-28555599/ https://www.poolre.co.uk/understanding-left-wing-anarchist-and-single-issue-terrorism-lasit/ LASIT being linked with the Widdecombe murder

It’ll be interesting if Trump brownosers the DT and Express carry on or stick up for our veterans. Not as if Trump Bone Spurs hadn't had a pop at the Afghan vets. Mail has become more cynical about him so less of a pivot. Problem for Reform if Trump and most likely Hegseth and Vance (who are driving it) go down this line with public opinion which is already sliding away.

Vince’s 125 was definitely not annoying though.

Hard to call. We should have more energy in the midfield but Messi even at walking pace is so good he can make space for their high quality frontline. They’re not great at the back either though, and lack genuine width bar their wing backs who leave space in behind.

Edited for you

Everybody on the extremes considers themselves superior - ‘you lot all welcome immigrants with open arms’, when there’s a huge spectrum of different opinions on the subject to Reform being Nazis - with accompanying hyperbole. Then you have Arabs/Israel etc. It’s even true to a certain extent of more conventional left/right and the discourse. The centre ground the likes of me, @egg@Holmes_and_Watson and others sit in has become smaller since the Brexit referendum. Yes, I do look at the extremes and think the nation is closer to becoming ungovernable as the element of compromise that sustained the two broad parties was ripped up by Corbyn and the ERG coup on the Tory party.

I don’t disagree with what Yusuf proposes here but I do disagree strongly that his own language hasn’t directly fuelled attacks and threats against Conservative and Labour politicians because we know that it has from SM. Throw the book at the person who posted about Farage being shot https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyey3re402o He needs to get in his own house in order before throwing stones at others. Manage his own language and behaviour. And Reform’s xenophobic language about other races, nationalities and backgrounds is also fuelling it. SM does the rest in terms of radicalising and recruiting across the spectrum. This should have been a seminal moment but we said that about Cox and Amess. Instead it’s become yet another culture war.

Let’s hope they have a disappointing journey back in their Ford Capris.

Still expecting THB to go if someone meets Dragan’s asking price, not that I want him to. Jandar and seemingly Leo have admirers too. Shea most likely to go but not all of them will.

Doubt he will be, and won’t want to be #3 to Daniel and George Long. MLS move wouldn’t surprise me, minimal/low fee and dump the wages with a year of his deal left to go.

New shirt doesn’t look too bad in the photos either. Good addition and seems like a good lad.

Yeah, that was disappointing at the time. Possibly Graham was having more issues at the time with Trump licking Putin’s arse and trying to get Zelensky to do the same with Trump to keep him sweet, but I agree that he should have stood up to Trump and Vance there. Ironically the guy who kicked it off, MGT’s husband and her are now anti-Trump! Overall he was one of the biggest US backers of Ukraine though and said to Trump - lose in Ukraine and lose Taiwan (and all of the chips Trump prizes).

Initial studies have found some correlation and overlaps, especially to autism, it’ll be interesting to see how that topic develops over time.

Didn’t agree with Graham on many issues but he was a staunch ally of Ukraine’s, in fact he was there just before he passed.

It’s almost as if we’ve been warned previously that there are some very dangerous individuals and groups active in the social media age from a spectrum of different ideologies. The common denominator as that they’re all as warped as each other.

When it started to become mainstream, we were given a briefing at work as we were expected to use it to promote and generate income, but with a clear warning from the media and legal teams ‘whatever you post on there, nothing is ever truly deleted’. That stayed with me and you look at the likes of Ollie Robinson in the cricket, various politicians and pretty much every Reform council candidate and it’s still true.

It’s vile and they’ll (the pronouns they love) be having a meeting with HR soon. Cheerio 👋

Grow up sunshine. It’s a trans activist who is about to get the sack from their job, become unemployable and rightly so. Seen their poor behaviour at University of Sussex with the Kathleen Stock case and they’re politically toxic because of that and SM posts like this. Not even Corbyn’s oddballs want them on board. I don’t have any issues with trans people in general at all and the level of press focus on what is probably 0.05 of the population is weird, but the activists are a really unpleasant bunch on the whole from experience. Nothing to do with left/right/centre though (I vote Lib Dem and have voted Tory as well, never Labour). Shall I call you far right and a flag shagger as a comparative and equally stereotype?
