Re supplements. I've added Shilajit, and changed my Lions Mane to one with an uptake formula, and increased the dose. Not the limitless reaction that your mate describes, but there's a difference for sure. If you're not feeling it, maybe look at dosage.

I'm not sure about your last point. Whether to play a 4 or 5 is a tactical thing, but whatever system you play, the right players are needed. If Manning must play, he's far more suited to being in a 5. His strength (ha) is going forward, not defending. Where he's not helped is having a midfielder covering behind if he's caught up field, or the left CB coming across. On balance, I'd prefer us to play a 4, but I'm not convinced we have the LB to do it, or the right blend in midfield. Back to the point though - I'm glad Bree is coming back, and he'll improve us imo,particularly if we play a 4.

Completely different situation, and force. The Ceno's owners ruined a decent establishment, paid the price, then laid the blame. The police challenged what they said, and it'd be ballsy in the extreme to be dishonest about that at the public level. I prefer the police account here.

Agreed, although I take the point you're replying to as well. Bree is a decent RB and would help us play a 4, and release Fellowes to play where he should be. The issue is that we don't have a LB good enough for a 4.

Perhaps he's not fussed about what the think because he has no intentions of letting them have a say in the mid terms. This genuinely feels like a bloke out of control, doing what he wants, and surrounded by like minded people.

Jeez. Poor people. It's worth noting the ICE recruitment ads and the music used. No attempt to disguise what they are and the agenda.

Ditto. What troubles me is the sheer number of people who think that the only Tory or Labour alternative is Reform. Bizarre.

I know many people who see reform as the way to go. All former Tory voters. They'll get votes, and if we had a GE tomorrow, I think they'd win by a distance. People are disillusioned by Labour, and the more they keep reminding the public how bad the Tories were, the more they're selling an alternative. The defections, I think, help Reform. Although they have tried to distance themselves from the Tories, people see them as an alternative, and almost a new reincarnation, and the defections play to that point. Let's see how things go in the locals, but I think anyone saying they won't get votes is just being wishful.

I don't think she'll get anything out of him. It doesn't matter who's waiting in the wings - it seemed clear from Leavitt's answer at the press briefing yesterday that democracy isn't coming to Venezuela anytime soon. They've essentially replaced one dictator with another, albeit one based in DC/Florida.

Great use of one of your 3 nic. Well done. I won't engage with you on a serious level because you don't post seriously. You conflate issues, assume your position as fact, and moreover, are rude and personal at every turn.

Roll

There are all sorts of people claiming to be a clinician of some sort saying that he has this or that, and will probably die soon. I work on the assumption that they're as full as shit as he is.

Individual politicians don't generally renege on their promises - they don't set policy. You seem to be asking for a recall petition to be used to boot out MP's because of government policy decisions. That's never going to happen. If (as you initially suggested) there's a more accessible recall petition for MP's because they're falling short, then that's so open to abuse, and it absolutely could be used in witch hunt exercises.

So a witch hunt policy?

I thought you were one of the people wanting us to limit who we let in, as per Trump. Make your mind up.

Marzipan

That's daft even by your standards. I'll entertain that kind of attempt at equivalence when Starmer has a private Gestapo rounding up brown people, steals countries, etc, etc.

And advertise the suggested replacements on marketplace. Sorted.

Arse

I'm not sure you can bin off poorly performing people who are democratically elected. Seems to me that the due diligence needs to be done in advance. Re the money, my point is more that MP's are there primarily to represent their constituents. Having people who want to represent those people for the right reasons, is vital imo. The issue is that those people may be absolutely shocking as ministers. There's no perfect solution, but fundamentally we agree that we need better people in parliament.

I've got mixed feelings on this. I agree that we need good people in parliament, but we also need people bringing a range of experiences and backgrounds. As things stand, any decent professional or business person willing to become an MP would likely to be doing it for the right reasons, rather than money. Chucking a corporate level package at candidates may just attract mercenaries.

Don't bring me into this depravity.

Agreed. I'm harsher than you. Anyone capable of exercise, can and should look after themselves and move around more. Anyone incapable of exercise can and should address their nutrition and not become obese. I'm horrified that we've got to the point where the message people are hearing is they don't have to worry about looking themselves as a jab will sort it. Eat less shite, move more. It's not complicated.

Yep, think it through, reality check it, announce it. It's not difficult. I'm not sure I can remember so much flip flopping from any previous government. Farcical.
