Would you care to elucidate?

So Labour's shadow minister for transport accuses the BBC of pro Tory bias... whilst Tories like our mate Les reckons that the "biased broadcasting corporation" is biased towards Labour. Seems to me that they are doing things right and if the truth is known they are pretty impartial.

An interesting article. At the time of the referendum I remarked how Leavers wanted to leave with a passion. Remainers did not have their strength of feeling to remain.Witness for example Cameron's lacklustre approach to the EU at the referendum compared with the likes of Farage. Since 2016, Remainers have developed a sort of EU passion. Witness for example the various anti Brexit marches. On the whole however Remainers's passion still does not match the hatred of the EU felt by many Leavers. This article chimes with this view. Remainer Tories may want to stay in the EU but they would not desert the Tories if that meant putting that Marxist Corbyn in power. Labour Leavers with their hatred of the EU were much more prepared to desert their normal party if it meant leaving the EU. Labour lost its leavers while Tory remainers stayed loyal https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/13/conservatives-bridge-brexit-divide-tory-landslide?

I don't think that he cares. He sees Labour as a political movement rather than a party - in the same way as the Greens are more of a movement rather than a party capable of government. He will blame this defeat on Brexit and try to ensure that another Momentum backed Idealist takes over from him.

I find several things amazing about this post 1. Duckie lives in a house with other people. 2. Two of them are chicks. 3. There is a male heir to the Duckhunter lordship. 4. Duckie talks to Labour people. Are there any other skeletons in the Lord Duckhunter cupboard?

That's good. If it continues to improve it will start to regain some of the 10% plus it lost when the referendum result was announced over 3 years ago and which it has never regained. The traders clearly agree that Brexit is a policy dreamt up in the madhouse.

He also refused to be interviewed on Radio 2 by Jeremy Vine. The only party leader to do so and ( with the exception of car crash May) the first PM to refuse to go on this show or its predecessor for over 50 years.

Harry and Jim are red and white ... Wasn't he also manager at Blackburn in 1978 when 2 saints were sent off and Bailey started to be booed?? RIP. A good football man.

Childish name calling is an illustration of mental issues. Wes is making himself ill with his rants and his extreme views. Feel sorry for him. I do.

Calling Batman to the forum for his usual comment about both sides lying.

My view exactly. If Johnson gets a big majority watch the catfight in the Tory party.

So if he panics when asked an awkward question from an ITV journalist how will he react when put under pressure as PM by the likes of Trump, Merkel and Macron?

So Liam Fox was wildly over optimistic when he said that 40 trade deals would be in place as soon as Brexit happened.... and his successor that brainbox Liz Truss has proved to be just as hopeless in getting deals. Who would believe it?? Brexiteer ministers proving to be incompetent and being out of touch with the real world.

I am on my way back from Newcastle and have only just read your latest posts. You talk about Shurlock's psychological issues. I am surprised that you haven't taken my advice about leaving this forum until election day. Your blood pressure must be suffering along with your mental health. I see that you are now playing the Brexiteers's "big wide world" card so beloved by the likes of David Davis and Liam Fox. Remind me again, how many trade deals did these 2 chumps say would be in place as soon as we left the EU ... and how many are in place.

As your old mate Duckie would say ... what a load if old pony. Are you really suggesting that once he got his hands on the leadership of the Labour party that Corbyn should resign ? Which other party leader has ever resigned because his party and he differed over a policy? He sees himself in a position where he can shape the Labour party for decades to come. He will do his best / has done his best to change his party's Brexit position from within. Not have a hissy and resign.. That is how politics works once you become leader. It is naive to expect politicians to do otherwise. Look at the growth of Momentum within the Labour party. To him , after his years in the political wilderness rebelling against the likes of Blair,changing the focus of his party is more important than Government.

I am not sure that Corbyn ever wants to become Prime Minister. Until 2015 his whole career had been one of protest. He has his principles and keeping them is more important to him than power. He would rather lead a political party that stuck to these principles than a Government. Under him Labour is a political movement rather than a party capable of Government. The ironic thing is that by sticking to these principles he will help to elect a right wing government. When Miliband stood down as Labour leader in 2015 it was almost unthinkable to see Corbyn as leader. He only appeared on the leadership ballot paper at the last minute when several mps put his name forward as they felt that it would be good for the left wing of the party to be heard in the leadership debate. They didn't really want him as leader. Boy, I bet they regret their actions now.

I know that he writes for a "left wing rag" but Andrew Rawnsley is a smashing political commentator. To my mind this perfectly sums up this election. If Boris Johnson gets back to No 10 he will have Jeremy Corbyn to thank https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/08/if-boris-johnson-gets-back-to-number-10-he-will-have-jeremy-corbyn-to-thank?

I had him as my Mom.

"Get Brexit done" is the 2019 equivalent of "strong and stable. " That didn't get the Tories very far. Time will tell about "Get Brexit done". Strong and stable proved to be totally untrue. Getting Brexit done is equally untruthful.

Heath. 1984. No shadow of doubt.

Thanks for the suggestions. The terms of the bet mean that the bet has to be settled before Sunday night. The boxing bet is definitely interesting ....

Hmmm. Having a rant about election leaflets from a political party during a General Election on a football forum. Giving a political party a childish insulting name. Are these the actions of a sane individual ? Do you think you are taking things a little far? Are you feeling well? Is this election having a toll on your health? Why don't you have a nice little drink, take a chill pill and forget about politics until Polling day ? I am sure that it would be good for your blood pressure ...and your mental health.

I have been given a free £100 bet which has to be used by Sunday evening. It has to be used on this bookie' s site . Any ideas on how to use it ?

Thought the substition for Romeu was very needed but came 10 minutes too late. We were losing the midfield and needed Romeu's power. How you see Saints's current position is a good test of whether you are a pessimist or optimist. On the one hand we have only just beaten the worst 2 teams in the league. On the other we are just 2 points from mid table. With teams like Bournemouth going on losing runs and looking at our upcoming fixtures, I think that we have grounds for optimism.

Very sad news.
