If by that you mean that my posts get under the skin of people with the same mindset as the likes of Braverman, Trump, Robertson, Patel etc. then I take that as a massive compliment. Sadly though I think that there are much bigger WUMs than I on the “innernetz” Weston.

Did you see the documentary about Ellie Williams last night? Tommy Robinson was straight up there trying to incite racial hatred. If you think calling him and people like him out is just “something, something” that is your right. I guess people with his views are always going to find some support in football forums but if being called “a bit of a tit” is the price to be paid for posting against these people, knock yourselves out. Personally I think the “bit of a tit” is the poster who can’t seem to mention Kemi Badenoch with referring to her skin colour yet he calls me the racist.

James O’Brien on LBC this morning criticised Kemi Badenoch for being dishonest about the Canadian trade talks. Given the logic of a certain poster on here that means that his criticism is contingent on the colour of her skin rather than her actions.

I do find it very ironic that the very people now desperately trying to pretend that I am a racist are the same people who criticised me and others like me who supported players for taking the knee and protesting against racism. No surprise then that they continue to support the people that I mentioned earlier and others like them. Anyone reading their posts over the years will know exactly where their posts are coming from. If you criticise a politician for their policies and behaviour and they have black or brown skin, that makes you racist. If you criticise the Israeli government for the way they are systematically killing Palestinian civilians and raising Gaza to the ground you are an anti-Semite. These tactics are exactly the same from Donald Trump’s playbook and have been used by right wing extremists through the ages. They play the player because if they played the ball they know they would lose. The Tory Party have been an unmitigated disaster. Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster. Never mind that, let’s pretend that the big issue here is a poster on a football forum and while we are piling on we can distract from the fact that we backed the wrong horses. Carry on lads, I think most reasonable posters on here saw through you years ago. Perhaps we can concentrate on the issues now instead of indulging in your personal grudges?

I think that most of us remember what you said about “frictionless trade” when you were trying to sell Brexit to us Andrea! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/31/uk-minister-andrea-leadsom-brexit-checks-price-you-pay-sovereign-state-again?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=discover&utm_campaign=CCwQspTtsbO5sKQvGN_u7oeM8dyArgEqJwgwEJuBxeif1NPaKBjd3s6Pu971ypsBKg4IACoGCAowl6p7MN-zCQ&utm_content=bullets

It is bizarre isn’t it? This same group of posters have been posting on here for years over a large range of subjects yet you will never see them disagree or post against another in the group and they are all quick to support one another. Could it be that they all have the same xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, racist, anti-woke, far right tendencies I wonder? Birds of a feather and all that. They must be getting really worried about the next election. Who to vote for? The party of Braverman, Patel, Anderson, Kendrick, Badenoch and the other far right loons or the Reform Party of Farage and his further right loons? Choices, choices 🤔

Ah, bless you hypo, you are the one who seems to be obsessed with her skin colour. Tell me, why is it you far right types have to make stuff up all the time? Is it because you have nothing to fall back on and have to rely on the tactics of Donald Trump? 🤔 Embarrassed that you are happy to vote for another lying Tory perhaps? Barely a day goes by on here when you can’t read posts on here by me slagging off David Lammy. 🙄

Within days of the initial ICJ ruling we have this. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/29/israeli-ministers-attend-conference-calling-for-voluntary-migration-of-palestinians

Kemi Badenoch is another two faced Tory backstabber? Surely not? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/29/kemi-badenoch-member-evil-plotters-tory-whatsapp-group

I don’t live far from Sevington either. My wife’s niece used to be stationed there for Border Force when it was hardly used. At least it will have some use now 🙁. Maybe some day we will finally see the benefits we were supposed to be getting from Brexit 🥺

Where exactly have I praised his every move? I have said he was a good DPP, which he was, and I have said that I think he will make a good PM. That is not praising his every move and I don’t agree with everything he says or does. Does he support the “crimes” in Gaza? He has said that Israel have the right to defend themselves but need to act within international law. Since when has saying you have to abide by the law become support for law breaking? Think what you like but he would have to go some to be worse than Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak.

Firstly, some advice. Don’t take anything that the forum WUM/stalker posts seriously. I have said that I used to work for the CPS, I didn’t and don’t “boast” about it. So, back to Keir Starmer and the state of the Criminal Justice System. I worked under three different DPP’s whilst working there (and for the whole of his five year tenure) and he was by far the most effective and engaged. My wife worked for the CPS for over 30 years and says the same. The others would turn up, talk at us for a while to tick a box, then vanish until the next meeting. Starmer would ask questions, listen to the responses, provide feedback and make changes for improvement where he could. When you look at both parties it is very clear that Starmer and his team have a far greater understanding of what is going on for normal people than anyone on the Tory front bench, or the rest of their party for that matter. For those who have been paying attention, ever since he became leader of the Labour Party he has been constantly travelling around the country talking to people, listening and getting a real idea of what is going on in this country at ground level. He will make a far better PM than anyone currently likely to become leader of the Tories once Sunak is ousted but he has got an incredibly tough job to do in overturning the 14 years of misrule. As for your comment about the CPS. The whole of the CJS; the CPS, the Court Service, the police and probation, have all been decimated by the Tory policy of austerity. Year after year our budgets were cut and we spent too much time having to manage these cuts. The only way we could save money was to lose staff and close buildings. You save more money by losing the longest serving and most experienced staff (and they are most likely to seek a severance package) The rest of the Criminal Justice System were in the same boat which is why the whole thing is a “shambles”. You will probably be aware that the situation is the same for pretty much all of our public services. Something to consider when you head off to the polling booth later in the year. Can the country survive another five years of being governed by this bunch of self serving incompetents?

No Harvey. I have voted mostly for the Lib Dem’s but not since that idiot Clegg handed power to Cameron which then led to the mess we are in now. I shall be voting for Starmer in the next election, not only to get the Tories out, but because we need a decent, solid person in charge who actually wants to improve the lives of ordinary people. You don’t have to be Faaaar Left to hate those of far right sensibilities. Anyone in their right mind should despise people like Braverman, Hopkins, Robinson, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Trump, Anderson etc. and I make no apologies for posting against them and their enablers, even if it does upset the usual suspects on here.

More and more Brexit chickens coming home to roost. Has Kemi made an announcement about the failed Canada trade deal yet?

He has announced he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Why on earth announce it publicly now?

It is well documented here. A while back I called out both of these characters for their far right rhetoric and he was straight in here having a go at me for doing so (despite pretending not to know who either of them were 🙄). His support for far right politics is all over this forum, he even used an alt-right avatar for a while. He is currently trying to tell us that Donald Trump isn’t as bad as most of us believe he is. Not once have I said that I wouldn’t want a black woman as PM. I have said I wouldn’t want someone like Badenoch, Braverman or Patel as PM, but as is perfectly clear if you have the basic level of IQ, you will know that is because of their politics and not their skin colour. His posting history makes it very clear where his sympathies lie, he is just too much of a coward to come out and say it directly. If you are in any doubt, go back over any thread covering politics and you will find evidence of his far right sympathies everywhere. He even uses the same tactics as Trump when challenged, shouting fake news and accusing his challenger as being mentally deficient.

As a reporter said the other day, the Trump movement is now a cult, a very large one that. The man himself has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that his cultish followers will blindly follow him no matter the lies, the felonies, the racism, the misogyny. We have seen it so many times before in America, but never in this scale. But the real danger isn’t the man himself, it is those who enable him either by direct support or by playing down his threat levels. Who in their right mind would like a Charles Manson figure (feel free to add any cult leader of your choice here) leading the most powerful nation on the planet? Sadly many do. I listened to a young black American guy the other day explain why he and his friends are actively supporting Trump. It was so depressing. He taps into the worst of people’s fears and exploits them for his own personal gain. What is frightening as that he couldn’t care less about these people so long as he gets their vote, but they still hang on his every word. We have seen it time and time again through history and we have yet another cult leader seeking power again with the same sheep prepared to give it to him.People who play the threat this man poses need to have their heads examined. Sociopaths show you exactly who and what they are. Trump has been doing it for years and getting away with it.

This is the same person who said a while back that he was liberal 😂. Given his well documented support of the likes of Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson his support for one of the nastier right wing Tories comes as absolutely no surprise at all.

The man is a convicted rapist, should be behind bars for numerous offences and who clearly was behind an insurrection is going to contest the next presidential election. This is beyond bizarre and for those deluded souls who think that he is just a pussy cat and not a really bad thing for America and the rest of the world really needs a reality check. The bloke is dangerous. Throughout history we have seen what unhinged narcissists with unlimited power can do. America and the world got away with it once but the man has had a taste of unlimited power, refused to give it up and if anyone thinks that he will not be worse this time, good luck with that. The world is a much more dangerous place now and having a deluded man baby anywhere near the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East is the stuff of an Austin Powers movie. That is where it belongs. Since Cameron we have had a series of Prime Ministers in this country who should be nowhere near power and the country and the vast majority of its inhabitants are paying the price. The problem here is when a superpower like the US has someone at the helm who is deeply unsuited and definitely unhinged, it is the rest of the world who could end up paying the price. (I love it when I get laughing emojis from the pile on crowd. It shows I must be on the right track)

I’ve just heard an interview on the radio with Jill Scott talking about how she and Gary Neville swopped Twitter accounts. The knuckle draggers told Neville (as Scott) that he should get back in the kitchen and she (as him) was treated more seriously. Priceless. There must have been a few red faces (as opposed to gammon) down at the local ale houses when they revealed the rouse. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2023/sep/14/get-back-into-the-kitchen-what-happened-when-jill-scott-and-gary-neville-swapped-social-media-accounts

It certainly has. The infrastructure is falling apart. We don’t build anything anymore. The NHS is failing. Good luck with finding an NHS dentist. Public services are on their knees. Local councils are going bankrupt. Everything is crying out for investment but what do we hear from this embarrassment of a government? Promises of a (cynical) tax cut before the next election. Change can’t come soon enough but while we have some measure of hope, it is looking increasingly like Trump could be in for a second term…God help us.

If there was ever any doubt about how odious you and your likeminded posters are Batman, it has been completely dispelled by this post.

Sunak recently said that under Labour we are in danger of returning to square one. Surely better than returning to the Victorian age Rishi? https://www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/newsroom/britain-slipping-back-to-social-divide-of-victorian-era#:~:text=The UK is in danger,the state of the nation.

Other than you can see ice but you can’t see black ice, hence the description. When I was a kid I slipped on some black ice on a drain cover and broke my arm. Just be thankful that your car is concerned for your safety.

As Australia is doing with us?
