Going to this one and cannot recall a game I cared less about the result. Saturday night in Liverpool is the appeal though. Disappointed that seems like won’t have the additional entertainment of watching scousers loot Goodison.

Nearly half a million followers on TikTok. Surprised the Mail et al are doing their hardest to discredit him but he was the star at Citibank and the brightest of his LSE year so not really the charlatan they would want us believe Starmer shoudl give him a role assisting Reeves. They need to think bigger

Hypo would be better off following Gary Stevenson for a more incisive take

Trump’s ability to dominate UK news is ridiculous. Headline now is that he has landed in Saudi Arabia and shaken Salman’s hand. Nothing more the British public could be interested in this morning?

University research on the influence of Andrew Tate on masculinity

Maybe SOG could send the link on to his lunch mates? -
Island of strangers does resonate. Obviously going to go down so badly with many of the wet Asian MPs. Problem is with Starmer you often think he is just reacting to outputs from focus groups.

Fuck knows what people were expecting. ‘We were so shit last season so STs will be £300’? I think they could throw in home cup games if we get any as a bonus

I knew you’d like that one😀

Think we all agree immigration is a problem that needs priority but there were many other factors in why people voted Labour - not ideological but they hoped society and the country would be better
-
“I didn’t like that <insert party name > didn’t solve immigration issues so I voted Nazi. In no way is it my fault, it’s on them”
-
I do think that is the key factor. Obviously they will have all the lobbyists telling everyone that they will leave the country etc etc. we have not addressed that industry has changed and still relying on income as main source of tax when wealth gap is widening by the day. So many companies are avoiding tax, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix when we used to collect revenue from newspapers, shops and cinema. fuck know why we can’t put a digital tax of 10% on every sale Amazon makes in the UK? Services need funding and key factor of the Labour win was the public want better public services - good luck with that with Reform
-
Yes a lazy stereotype but social media has made it so much easier to influence the less curious and so compounded the issue of idiots voting for clowns. Do any of the Reform voters take notice of what Truss’s mini budget did to the economy? And realise Reform are far more extreme? Pub bores moaning about immigration doesn’t translate to smart economists.
-
You pushed line for Trump too. Obviously if the option isn’t appealing then parties lose but there are many super thick people who are responsible who just think there is a switch to milk and honey and vote simply. Good to see Cooper seemingly giving a tougher message as the penny needs to drop with Labour - it is not sustainable. But none of the parties are willing to have a bipartisan discussion to funding social care so we are in a spiral where voter can simply point to those in power and query why haven’t they sorted - valid question but far from simple

Another 4 more in the first half against Real Madrid

All he’ll care about putting his tenant’s rent up

He’ll be quoting the Tax Payers Alliance on fiscal issues or the IEA as economic experts. Full disclosure didn’t listen to the bloke due to poster credibility.

Well done mate, great achievement
-
I appreciate we are a civilised society but like to think we’d take a Shawshank Redemption style approach to supervising these cunts. Should be terrified to move with fear of a beating. Same for that Libyan cunt Police investigate alleged attack on prison officer by Southport killer https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8dln3z4eeo

That’s buggered up my plans this morning then
-
At least when the markets exposed what a clown Truss was , the Tories could fall back to someone moderately competent in understand economics. Imagine these cunts parachuting Lee Anderson in. Aye up chaps who’s me fookin scapegoat? what the fuck is a bond market and what the fuck am I meant do about it?
-
Tell me more about my posts, like they really excite you
-
I think most can see Starmer isn’t a pro-Trump goon but a pragmatist
-
Don’t know enough but glowing PR for UK from Trump. Makes me hate just a little bit less - I’m a sucker for a bit of flattery.

Is this the equivalent of Christmas Day in the trenches?

It gets worse - it has bumped Pointless. FFS they are just filming people cheering for 45 minutes with nothing new other than there is white smoke
