The bit which will cause enough rich people to leave the country which makes all the huge spending cost projections unworkable, levels of spending that concern he IFS, "free" government controlled Internet, "free" early years childcare for 2, 3 and 4 year olds that is totally uncosted and will lead to childcare providers closing. That's off the top of my head but I can't be bothered to look in greater detail to find more.

Really odd reason not to drop someone.

Wasn't there some financial information on the day 9/11 happened? I may have remembered that wrong.

It's a view expressed well by this famous Disney writer: https://insidethemagic.net/2019/10/screenwriter-strong-female-characters-bb1/ They are so afraid of portraying a woman in a more traditionally "feminine" way for lack of a better phrase that you have this ridiculous strong woman stereotype that audiences are rejecting. See the latest terminator film with some tiny delicate looking woman firing massive guns as if it was nothing or what looks to be hideous agenda pushing of the latest charlies angels. Audiences don't want it.

Because that's the background that all the writers come from and they have to work to diversity quotas rather than what's actually good. I pray that one day they will see the light and the media in general will go back to using for example women in proper ways. Ripley was in my opinion one of the greatest characters in any film ever and she was a strong female character precisely because she wasn't defined by her gender or because she wasn't pushing some ridiculous political point. Let's have more characters like that and brilliant acting and storytelling rather than whatever has been going on with Dr Who, Ghostbusters, star trek, star wars and potentially the new James bond.

You aren't voting for an individual, you are voting for a party and their policies. I don't care what Johnson is like, no sane person could vote for the extremism that Labour is selling.

Think we can all agree with that.

I watch everything via streaming which has anything I could ever want to watch. Haven't watched BBC for about five years, enjoyed a few dramas on it but there's very little else to enjoy. I've never watched Dr who but I heard from people who do that that's been infected by the social justice disease of heavy handed politics. Unfortunately the BBC isn't held back by things like making money so it can push that sort of thing and not have to worry if it turns people off. The sooner they change it itno some subscription type service the better.

I haven't been to games this season apart from the last one but at half time if that's what the fans had been subjected to at home all season then I can't blame them for booing. It was awful.

It's at home.

The United Kingdom and the Death of Boris Johnson as we know it.

But as I already said, I didn't call him an anti-semite. -
To be fair it made the end of the game go quicker so I wasn't as nervous!

I was stood with those cretins fighting and no they weren't Watford fans. After we scored our second some tw*ts were jumping on fans below them and pushing fans down rows of chairs. Some 15 year old kid with a mullet got angry with one of the people doing the pushing and some older woman he seemed to know who looked like a caveman started squaring up to people. It culminated in some old bloke squaring up to the 15 year old and telling him he would meet him outside and then another bloke they were with getting carted out by the stewards after trying to continue the fighting. The thick woman left shortly after.

I'm surprised we haven't given Adams more of a chance or at least a chance from the bench. Redmond starts every game and he's been rubbish this season.
-
They are. Getting rid of Ralph will achieve nothing. We won today but the fundamental problems remain.
-
To be honest it was great to win but we were still rubbish.
-
Romeu and boufal in for redmond and hojbjerg please.
-
Well this is my first home game of the season so I'm obviously chuffed. I thought we were cr*p but I'd much rather this than playing great and losing. I'm going Wednesday as well so hope my 100% win rate continues! Boufal has to play more often.

Just keep deflecting and pretending I said things I didn't say. All an irrelevance once the election results come in. Tick tock. -

Like I said, it suits the narrative of corbyn supporters to pretend that the reason more people aren't voting Labour is because they are brainwashed by 90% of the media rather than because his policies are unworkable and garbage and because he is an uncharasmatic bore who has not dealt with antisemitism quickly enough in his party. It really doesn't matter what you believe except that when Labour fail to win the election, that's then the time to reevaluate some of this stuff rather than doubling down and going for the same ruinous socialist nonsense but with a new leader. Which one will Labour go with? -

No need to rehash the arguments again. People have and will continue to make up their own minds based on incisive interviews like the Andrew Neil one and testimony from ex Labour Jews etc. -

Whatever you need to tell yourself for when Labour fail to win the election. -

You realise it's only the uber lefty Jeremy fanboys who buy that narrative right? -

Hilarious the lengths that Corbynites will go to in order to make allusions to antisemitism in others.
