If I had seen your post I obviously wouldn’t have posted mine, but thanks for pointing it out. I didn’t realise that is was a competition 😉

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
sadoldgit replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
You seem to have an issue with rape. Even Assage said himself that it was “improbable” that he was smeared by the US secret services. If what the woman said is true, that is technically rape. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd1jgv3knnwo.amp As for Jo Cox, she was murdered by a far right nutter, but well done for trying to conflate the two and muddy the waters over Galloway’s comments. We all know how you are the first to defend the actions of extreme nationalist, flag shagging nutters in this country whilst pretending not to be one of them. -
The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

Are you trying to rewrite history again? The Tory Party have been are car crash for 14 years and left this country in an awful state. Perhaps you were living abroad for much of that time so missed it? Either way, to conflate Starmer with the Tory Party just six months in is a stretch even for a conspiracy theorist like you. By the way, I didn’t start giving the Tories proper grief until the referendum, Brexit and thereafter, but as ever you don’t let the facts get in the way of a good old rant. By the way, by getting likes from my Baby Reindeer you are in danger of becoming one yourself. -

You don’t have to like Jess Phillips to appreciate the work she has done on behalf of woman who have been to victim to domestic violence. George Galloway is also a total scumbag and u don’t know why anyone would want to defend him. https://www.womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-and-100-vawg-organisations-issue-letter-of-solidarity-with-jess-phillips-mp-following-far-right-and-misogynistic-attacks/ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2012/sep/12/george-galloway-constituents-rape-comments -
The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

Yet another completely misguided post. You seem to live in a parallel universe. The only thing I agree with is about Starmer. Agree with his policies or not, he is a decent man who is genuinely trying to improve things after the car crash of the last 14 years. Let’s judge him after 5 years rather than right at the beginning of his tenure. He did a great job in sorting out problems within the CPS. He faces much bigger problems now. -

I certainly wouldn’t consider rubbing myself off on that individual. I have standards you know!

There were numerous scare stories doing the rounds about the vaccine at the time. Wasn’t Bill Gates supposed to be injecting us all with microchips? It’s odd how history gets rewritten, especially as it was only a few years ago.

Bloody governments, Big Pharma companies, scientists and their vaccines. Who do they think they are, coming round here trying to save my life? Bastards.

I can just imagine social media in the Middle Ages - Royal Proclamation ”We need to lock down cities, towns, villages and hamlets to stop the plague spreading”. Commoners ”Don’t listen to them, it is fake news designed to control the turnip harvest so that the Lords can do away with us serfs and import cheaper turnips from Europe”. ”Listen to us, carry on harvesting your turnips and travelling between the markets in the cities, towns, villages, hamlets and those abroad too if you can find safe passage across the Channel. Don’t let the Deep State fool you. It is all a cunning plan we tell you! We have been told the truth by Baldrick!”

Precisely this, but it doesn’t fit in with the narrative for conspiracy theorists. https://www.ulh.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/PHE-vaccine-leaflet.pdf https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/covid-19-vaccination-programme

Aaron Ramsdale - Official: Loaned to Newcastle

The club were constantly slagged off for not signing a quality keeper then when they finally do, the signing is pointless apparently! Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. -

I think what you meant to say is a narcissist doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of normal, well adjusted people.

More people ended up in jail down to the changes that Keir Starmer brought in as DPP (which had nothing to do with the Tory Party). The CPS have charging guidelines. They previously were instructed to ignore or give less creedence to evidence given by people affected by drugs or alcohol. He overturned that amongst other major changes to charging guidelines. One of the victims cited an occasion when she visited a police station to make an accusation about sexual abuse only to be told to go away and come back when she wasn’t drunk. During my time at the CPS and when Starmer was the DPP special teams were set up (RASSA units - Rape and Serious Sexual Assault) to deal with these cases more effectively. Another major change was to accept, in the first instance, that the alleged victim was telling the truth. Previously the onus was on them to provide convincing evidence to the police/CPS charging lawyer at the outset. This led to more cases entering the charging review stages with only those that subsequently failed to meet the evidential charging guidelines not going to court.

I don’t know why you have an issue here. He has clearly done well for both NI and Sheffield Wednesday which is good for us, yes? Either we get a good player back now or in the summer or we get more money for him if we sell him. Personally I would have him back now in preparation for next season but given that none of us has a say in what will happen to him I won’t be losing any sleep over any decision taken.

Cole Palmer also came through the Manchester City academy and he hasn’t done too badly has he?
