You'd only need one incident with a bodycam of a minority being tasered though and there would be riots.

Particularly given how much we spent on Shea Charles last time.

You see whelk, part of the trouble these days is hyperbole and need to dramatise for all those with v short attention spans.

And yet Starmer trumpets a big welfare reform and can't even get it passed in any meaningful form. Hardly a projection of strength or demonstration of his majority.

Fair amount of anecdotal evidence from past MPs that this goes on. I used to know a civil servant (I had to be interviewed as part of his security clearance to get the job.) He said it wasn't really a thing in his department but there were a couple of activists types in more recent times as things got more heated.

Add in the civil servants who seem to just ignore their duty to carry our policy if it's something they don't like, the OBR who seem to dictate what can and can't be done more than the actual government and backbenchers who can just derail government agenda and you're not too wrong. A lame duck government totally incapable of doing anything meaningfully transformative and essentially rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic.

Weirdly I'm in the odd position where I feel a tiny bit sorry for Reeves. Clearly out of her depth but she's tried to do the right thing here and the rest of the labour party has prevented her from doing it. This is clearly going to lead to reasonable tax rises and she will probably get booted out. A depressing state of affairs tbh.

The positives here are that we've got him in quickly and also that he's clearly the main one we want. Should be a good one to judge the new scouting and transfer group on given that on the face of it he doesn't seem like an incredible signing. Lets hope he smashes it.

I don't care why they leave, it's hardly a positive sign whatever the reason.

Fortunate then that they made a considered and nuanced statement about Israel rather than a brainless and pathetic chant devoid of both.

That is 100% correct. Nice post.

So you could say that calling for the death of the main thing defending Israel is effectively calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.

If IDF were killed, what would happen to Israel do you think?

We entice some and then encourage others to leave! Dearie dearie me.

I missed the chant against the starvation and killing of millions in the Congo and the chants against the Sudanese government. They seemed preoccupied with one particular conflict involving a specific nationality. In fact no mention of any of these other atrocities at all.

Reminds me of when I posted the front page of the echo on here during the takeover stuff and we were rumoured to have some Irish people take over. Almost got my mate fired...

When we were linked with Rohl it was said we wanted one of their players.

What position?

Thanks ill have a listen. That doesn't surprise me though. Imo labour have been shit in government but shit in different ways that I wasn't expecting when they started.

So the government have no conviction whatsoever, are slaves to their backbenchers and can't make any savings which means terrible news for autumn and my mortgage renewal. Useless.

A list takes a long time but I'd have some steely Dan in mine and probably Sam Cooke.

Not sure that's true if we end up where Luton were after 20 games!

If we sell him it will probably be because he wants to leave or we don't think he fits our new style of play. Given that Still will likely play with proper wingers, I'm not sure where he fits in personally even though I'd probably keep him but he isn't a guaranteed starter.

I was mostly going on the koln fan forum and an article I read that he was a bit lightweight and lost a surprising amount of aerial battles for his height. That's probably a bit more accurate than chatgpt even though it's an interesting thing to read.
