The Kraken

Very accurate description. Tries to hide under the cuddly old simpleton persona but that mask fell off years ago.

How can it be cold in Morocco? I’ve just spoken to my folks who have been out in southern Spain for the past few weeks, they say it’s getting to the point where it’s too hot, getting above 30 degrees (though today was bearable as it dipped back below 25).

I thought he did, and it was a few weeks before Lallana. I seem to recall when Lallana did it, it was diluted because Rickie had done something before. I may be wrong but that’s definitely my memory. Maybe I’m conflating the two though.

Rickie Lambert

Cant see that happening myself. Labour know it’s not in their interests to do it. Plus we had the shambles of the alternative vote referendum under the coalition. I’d be in favour of PR but the main parties aren’t and I’m not even sure if the overall population would go for it if it was put to a vote, polling on PR suggests at the very least that it would be close.

A genuinely repugnant idiot.

Again, I genuinely can’t see where they go from here. Sunak is surely off as soon as the election is over but then who do they elect? Absolutely nothing that screams of leadership material. Shapps wants it but he’s a completely useless bellend. Penny wants jt but whenever she opens her gob she just shows how thick she is. Cruella, Patel, utterly hideous and genuinely repellent to the public. And Jeremy Cunt, an absolute nobody. They could try bringing in frog faced Nigel but, as much as he’s popular with a minor percentage of the population, he’s an absolute turn off to the rest. Same for big dog, the hopeless cunt. Bad Enoch is a complete dimwit too and she’s considered a leading light. Struggling to see where their next leader comes from, they all look completely fucking hopeless.

Genuinely don’t see where they go from this. Reform aren’t going away and are occupying the ground to the right. Labour have gobbled up the centre. Tories can either go after the right wingers or the centre but I’m struggling to find a strategy where they can do both. It’s a pickle and no mistake.

Anyone who says the best kit of the century is anything other than the 2010/11 sash kit is a complete wrongun.

Terrible kit that one, not least because the logo was a horrific stick on affair. Such a cheap and terrible kit. The best kit of the century fuck me.

You’ve got to hand it to Rishi, he’s done an amazing job. A huge bulk of the country hate him because of the damage he’s done to the country. Conservatives hate him because of the damage he’s done to the party. Well done sir.

Sounds like the ITV interview that Sunak flew back early for went horrendously, so it’ll likely be another Disaster-Day on Wednesday. Also King Chuck is furious with Sunak, and so is Cameron.

Statistics aren’t real IIRC.

Seems to be quite a few Corbynites jumping ship from Labour and toxifying the Greens instead. Weird bunch, the far left, and pretty unpleasant.

Yep this. She scrubs up nicely but her best quality is that she mainly keeps herself under the radar. When she’s out front and centre we get the stand up and fight side of her, I reckon she’s a bit if a loony underneath it all. I do reckon she’ll be next leader though, either her or Bad Enoch. This England game is about as dreadful as I expected.

True, if you continue to use problematic language akin to the specifics I quoted then yes, I’ll likely call it out.

I give up

Good point.

A genuine comedy moment 🤣

Dan Hodges is a Tory lickspittle but even he’s getting fully stuck in and raises an actual good point. There are only two explanations. The itinerary was set before the election date was known. In which case Sunak literally couldn’t be bothered to stay and just wanted to come home early. Or the itinerary was set afterwards. In which case he chose to put politics above the veterans by coming home for the interview.

Oh please, you’re like a stuck record of “you can’t say nuffink these days without being called an antisemite”. Criticism of the Israeli government and support for the Palestinian people are perfectly fair game in themselves and you know this. Specifically, the words that you wrote and how you phrased them crossed the line and it’s telling you refuse to retract and choose to obfuscate instead. With Corbyn, yes good idea, I’ll believe what I want.

I won’t be watching, the leaders debate was bad enough. But I’ll definitely be interested to read the feedback on the approach Penny will take. Let’s face it, she’s not all that bright (looks good holding a sword) but she’s certainly got designs on the leadership. Will she defend Sunak? I don’t think she’ll go out of her way. I don’t think she’ll throw him under a bus, probably something like “it was wrong that he left early and it was right that he apologised”. But in general I wouldn’t mind betting that Penny will be looking after herself rather than the party tonight.
