Agree with most of that, Musk is clearly very, very bright in a technical/engineering solutions way but not socially which isn’t a total surprise with Asperger’s. His declining mental health has probably led to finding social masking more difficult. What’s interesting is that none of the Coalition era Conservatives who worked with Starmer at the CPS have joined in with the attacks and some have said that he’s (Musk) wrong.

I didn’t realise when I typed this earlier that Steve Bannon had made these comments declaring war on Musk https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/steve-bannon-vows-to-oust-elon-musk-from-donald-trump-inner-circle?srsltid=AfmBOoqY4mvzHtRpMEQQmS8gmt858gKNHJkYm8LI31MvXpWWWg52773y Whilst Trump is the lead singer for MAGA, Bannon is the song writer. The GOP will always back Bannon and Trump needs the GOP to pass his plans - see recent budget saga for how difficult that’s already proved. At least Musk isn’t a jailbird I suppose.

As I say, whilst Stewart’s overall outlook is not dissimilar to mine overall, some of his expressions of it are not consistent and can be incoherent occasionally. FWIW I don’t think Musk does per se. A lot of MAGA folk do though, hence the tensions we have already seen.

It could also be indicative of Musk’s poor mental health (self-confessed) and inconsistency created by his own views and the requirements of his businesses. Stewart does flip flop but then David Owen became a Brexiteer and Liz Truss was a Lib Dem. It may be the case that Musk sees some immigration as good and some bad based on his view.

Whoever was in power had invidious options without rejoining the Single Market. I share the IFS’s frustration about the parties and media not being honest with the trade offs of their decision-making. Ian Hislop hit the nail on the head when he said that Boris started the era of fantasy thinking with the NHS red bus and boosterism with an economy reduced by 7-10%. That means less spending on key services and a lot more paperwork for firms of all sizes. The cake-ism and rhetoric from him, Farage, Frost etc about the easiest deal in history poured petrol on the fire. Politicians have always been marmite figures but Boris really damaged our democracy. Anyone would be boxed in, I wish Labour would just say ‘if you want services back, and end to austerity, rejoining the Single Market gives us a huge boost to do it and power up growth’. Lose some Red Wall seats but would gain even more in the South. Public opinion has swung in favour of it. Access to the EIB at much better rates for infrastructure borrowing and investment too, losing that was another ‘gift’ from Brexit. And secure our borders better against migrants the public doesn’t want. Sadly I don’t think Starmer and Reeves have the bollocks to be up front about it. Streeting or Burnham would.

It is your in this instance, not you’re which would be plural. Do yourself a favour and cut down on the Carling during the match.

Your opinion and who is being abusive now? Go and follow Andrew Tate and Elon Musk, you’ll enjoy the content.

Also known as Norwich City syndrome, Birmingham City before that and Leeds United/Burnley next season.

Your opinion and clearly that of the social media followers you have. 90% of people wouldn’t agree, even most Conservatives.

Read Paul’s opening remarks and you’ll change your understanding https://ifs.org.uk/events/general-election-2024-ifs-manifesto-analysis Paul Johnson is our top independent expert on the public finances and the IFS were very critical of the main parties not being honest, and they savaged Reform UK’s manifesto. Personally I’d have reversed Hunt’s uncosted NI cuts rather than put it on the employers but trying to pretend it wasn’t a horrific hand is fantasy.

And certainly not a panacea from the private sector which the Tory right and Farage crippled with a hard, red tape intensive Brexit. They need help to make exporting easier. Frictionless trade my arse.

Not one I voted for but compared to Johnson a fuck sight better. Hell, even Truss was better than Boris, let alone May, Cameron, Brown, Blair, Major and Thatcher. And most of those could keep it in their underpants or at least use a condom. None of the above told blatant lies on the side of a large red bus to swing a generational referendum nor have been sacked by the Times for lying. So yeah, Boris is a shitheap and worse than Truss, she’s a delusional lunatic but not pathologically dishonest per se.

They won’t care if they lose this 4 or 5-0 as long as they beat Cardiff next week.

Leave it to the Snap Dragon

Or called the Physio a cunt in training.

For balance, you and I would have laid into Martin if he’d picked that line up and formation. Dragan needs to get discussions going with Steve Cooper IMO to start in June. Couple of better early performances but back to square pegs in round holes and these square pegs are utter crap even in square holes.

Still stinks of Boris, this government won’t give a fuck what Cummings is up to but Boris and Kemi will.

He’s an out and out number 2 instead 💩

How many pints would Martina be for Duck?

Hmmm, wonder who they got that from? The obese, dishonest, philandering, non-condom wearing, over-annuated ex-PM they pay a fortune to write garbage on a Saturday for them who fell out with Dominic Cummings per chance?

You may be getting confused with the Pompey thread 😉

Yep, York has fantastic culture, Yorvik Museum, Minster, The Shambles (unrelated to SFC..) and some brilliant pubs. As a Walker/hiker, Yorkshire Dales are wonderful. The Malham circuit is one of my favourite walks in the country, everybody talks about Malham Cove but Gordale Scar even better, Janet’s Foss waterfall and the Tarn. Tan Hill Inn highest pub in the country on the Durham/Cumbria border, the roads out have views right into the Lake District. Wensleydale and Swaledale stunning. Kettlewell - could spend a week there doing the walks. Fleet Moss road a must cycle/drive near there to get to Hawes.

He had been crippled with an achilees injury, wasn’t due back until the autumn at best, and out of contract at the end of the season. If he’d kept that ratio up over a whole season….that makes Adam Armstrong or BBD…hardly worth the mind-numbingly stupid decision to pay £8m plus an extra payment after we went up. When Saints signed Lambert for £1m, then very rare in League 1, he was already a prolific scorer at that level over a few seasons with ability to play higher with the right conditioning and lifestyle. But we were a far more sensible club then.
