Good point. There are only 7 days in a week still and we play 2 games in 7 days. Imagine the extra mental fatigue you must face if someone is telling you that you have played 3 games in 7 days. Poor lambs.

The Faragists won’t like this but it sums up the current situation perfectly. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/will-farage-s-trumpian-strategy-work-against-him-he-has-good-reason-to-believe-it-won-t/ar-AA1Sh0EL?cvid=48fb4af33b294ab7bbe9eca5481f8c65&ocid=hpmsn

I still can’t get my head around how poor we were in the second half. No energy. No commitment. No desire to get the second goal. I can live with losing but at least make a fight of it.

I know about their backgrounds and both are highly respected journalists. Your problem is that you are so biased you think everyone else is. Both of them know and understand a lot more about politics than you ever will. You throw around labels but throw your dummy out of the pram when others use labels you don’t like. You support people with questionable values. Own it.

There are plenty of you google are Reform UK a far right party and is Tommy Robinson far right. https://bylinetimes.com/2024/10/07/why-reform-uk-is-far-right/ https://www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/british-farright-activist-tommy-robinson-to-stand-in-eu-elections Some examples above.

Get Manning off! 😂

Without Scienza and Fellows were are very average.

I don’t think that the Regency period Blackadder writing progressed from the Elizabethan era. The WW1 era however had a more depth with the subject matter giving the writers more to get their teeth into. It was ok, but the bar was very high after series 2.

Blackadder is an interesting omission from many lists. The first series, written by Roman Atkinson and Richard Curtis, wasn’t great. Ben Elton and Richard Curtis wrote the Elizabethan themed second series, which was brilliant. They also wrote third series, which was okay, and the fourth series set in WW1, which was again brilliant, especially the last episode which is probably one of the greatest pieces of television ever. For those who hate the BBC, that alone was worth the license fee for a decade. I’m guessing that it is not up there with the greats for many because of the unevenness of the four series?

I have read countless articles and listened to countless broadcasts where the journalists/reporters have described Reform UK as “far right” and Robinson’s views as being “far right” but if you are desperate for some names here are two recent ones - Jon Sopel and Emily Maitlis.

I didn’t say you were. In fact I said that I didn’t think that you were. The language that I use comes from the people in the media who talk about people with what they call far right opinions. If posters support those people it is not unreasonable to conclude that they sympathise with the views expressed. There is a big difference between Ralph and myself. He defends the views of the kind of people I attack. I am not the only person who thinks that Farage, Robinson etc are scumbags with abhorrent views. Anyone supporting or defending them is no better. If you posted something slagging off Robinson and someone responded by being supportive of him, don’t tell me that you wouldn’t reach the same conclusion that I would. I will say this for both Ralph and nic, neither pretend to be anything other than who they are and are very open about what they believe in.

I don’t know what constitutes a moderate Tory in the 1930’s but there was clearly a big gap between the main Tory Party and people like Mosley and his black shirts. Obviously we didn’t have the immigrant issue in the 30’s to the extent that we do now, although Jewish communities faced discrimination. My point is that the Tory Party became more divided over Brexit with the party generally moving further to the right. You mentioned being a one nation Tory yourself, those moderates vanished after Johnson came to power. There is now an area of politics that is between a moderate Tory and the extreme right (which you could label fascistic). This area covers people with the type of views that have been mentioned about and are labelled now as “far right” and “alt-right.” What you would call “right” the media calls “far right” now to differentiate between moderates and more hardliners. From what you post I don’t think that you could be classed as “far right” so it differentiates between your views and those with harder views. I think we all know what we are talking about, we just use different labels.

Not sure where to start. Most of them to be honest, hence why the AI search refers to the definition of “far right” as it does. As I have said before, I refer to certain people and views as being “far right” because the media do.
