Are you really saying that Trump supports democracy? Do you ever watch the news, just out of interest?

You're right. You're missing the point that it's a racist lie, repeatedly told by racist liars. Are you in favour of racist liars or not?

Critical stuff, mate. We can't lock them all up forever, and performative cruelty is just going to make them worse than when they went in. If you can just get some of them on the right path, it'll save everyone a bit of pain and money in the long run. That's a tough sell to the Daily Mail...

Not all pensioners are insulated from housing costs. Some pay rent, some have mortgages. In itself that doesn't put them on pension credit, if you weren't aware. As with most things, the ones with the least will have the poorer, least insulated housing, and no mechanism for improving it. Not...

The proportion might be small, but the wealth they hold is vast, and that inequality is growing. That's the whole point. No one is talking about stripping them of all of it, but before I started complaining about the bone idle poor, I might think about reducing inequality by looking at the bone...

I'm sorry mate, but some of this simply isn't true. People who don't have the right to reside here, illegal immigrants if you will, don't get benefits. That's a myth, spread by wankers like Tommy Robinson, to shit stir; let's not repeat it here, eh. They get, at the most, £47 a week, to...

I trust then, that you're as critical regarding how outlets like Fox News (with an actual direct influence on U.S. voters), pander endlessly to Trump's worst conspiracy theories? In the meantime, of course, the biggest threats to democracy are the people who try to subvert it directly, by say...

I beg to differ. There are plenty of pensioners either just above the threshold for pension credit, or who don't know how to work through the complexities of claiming it, who will genuinely suffer because of this. Just because you don't know them personally doesn't mean it's not going to...

Not too worried about City, but totally agree about how the game has got more boring to watch. Feckin' Pep, and this obsession with possession at all costs that everyone is trying to play nowadays. I hate, and I mean viscerally hate, inverted wingers and full backs who endlessly cut back...

Or you could just ask the much more important question, what will the rambling orange lunatic do if he gets into power again? He's literally banging on about immigrants eating people's cats and crying about being treated unfairly in the last election because enough people didn't vote for him...

I said it a while ago, if you commit to Tory fiscal rigidity, you get Tory government policies. Austerity. Always austerity, unless you're already rich, of course. I genuinely hoped I was wrong, but Reeves really is a Thatcher tribute act. If you keep squeezing the poor whilst ignoring the...

I am very disappointed with this unreasonably measured post. Please drink six pints of Stella, stub your toe on the coffee table, and then come back and try again. 😁

The Charlton thing sounds a lot like the same blag they pulled on us. No doubt they're already talking to any mug who will listen about the millions they'll bring into the local economy. As above, next up will be some kind of mysterious investment scheme so that they can become the biggest...

The real piss take, is how they just expect to rock up straight into the Championship because... well they're called Wasps innit. Charlton should be very, very wary. I don't think it's a done deal with the RFU yet; the other championship rugby clubs, and those hoping for promotion to it, might...

And on a slightly different note, thoughts on why austerity (from a new, New Labour government no less), is a really bad idea. This genuinely depresses me... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/04/keir-starmer-rachel-reeves-austerity

There are dozens if not hundreds of different types of fraud out there, all related to on-line rather than over the counter transactions. Google "bank won't repay fraud", and you'll get a feel for it and for where people feel justifiably wronged. I've been on both sides of the Ombudsman/FCA...

Hmm... I work in banking, and have done for a good few years. Some of these scams are far, far more sophisticated than that, and I can tell you now that banks don't always make it easy to recover funds that people have been conned out of. From where I'm sitting, there's joint responsibility...

All of our current midfield give me range anxiety at moment - I'd be more than happy to get someone like James in to support them, even if he's got a few miles on the clock. 😁

Torture. At least Bassette looked promising. I've no idea what the plan is to score. Simms is a waste of space if we're not putting it into the box. We've coached Tats out of taking players on, and the midfield stopped tackling after half-time. Tedious slow, build up play, and a system that...

10 to go. Keep possession and pray for some individual brilliance to rescue us, seems to be the extent of the plan. There's no fight, bite, or spite in this team. It's a fucking awful watch.
