Exactly. The “centre left” are the deep establishment but don’t understand that they are. High tax, high regulation, policies that put state over family, stifling of ambition, more likely to support fake ideological wars (expecting brickbats for saying this but we know deep down it is true) and...

Absolutely agree. I’m a massive brexiteer and also had / have a sneaking admiration for old Jezza.

Collins 6 Could have made himself bigger for their second, other than that ok. Lati 7 Getting better at imposing himself. Need him to be a bit more “in their grill”. Thomas 8 Plus one for goal. Binks 6 Got caught wrong side again for one of their goals. Van Ewijk 7 Up and down that...

This reminds me of when Peter Reid was appointed, and later when Coleman was appointed. Just not feeling that it’s going to end up brilliantly. Prediction to mark: We’ll end up 19th this season and will be lower bottom half Xmas next year when Lampard will be sacked. Prediction to Mark...

Yes, correct. Valid point, well made.

Hey, To criticise Trump: fine, he’s no saint. But don’t diss the based hillbilly.

Oh man, this is hardly punching people in the face, this is killing human beings. At present, there is a war between Russia and proxy allies and NATO / Ukraine. This could escalate. Why? Peace has a chance of being negotiated. The sense was to hold fire until the new de-facto head of NATO...

I’m worried about you. Me: needless raising of tension on Ukraine will lead to more people dying. (Which I, and anyone reasonable would say is important) You: wibble wibble “pocket money”, “ifs and buts in the future”, “his best mate (amusing given the historic rift between the two)” Here’s...

Lampard would only with if Ady came back in. I presume they had the same playing / training / set up mentality from the Chelsea days. I wonder if any severance deal with Ady would become less costly if he rejoins. Just thoughts.

After the election result, there was clear mood music from all sides of an imminent de-escalation of hostilities in Ukraine pending Trump brokering peace talks. The Democrats have now heightened tensions completely unnecessarily. There is no plausible justification for this and the Democrats...

Immigration in a nutshell. The UK and other western countries needs net migration to avoid societal collapse. Birthrate of about 1.5 children per woman means 1.5 children per 2 adults. So, for every 20 say, 33 year olds there are 15 children. Extend that = 20 age 66 year olds =15 age 33 year...

For balance: (left leaning) CNN clip with right leaning commentator summing things up. “There are 1.3 to 1.6 million people who have already (UNDER THE DEMOCRATS) received their deportation orders”. “Obama deported more than most”. Obama deported 5 million. FIVE MILLION. Discuss….

They are of course people. But they are illegal migrants or immigrants if they have not been granted refugee or owbdi status. Someone comes into your home uninvited and without just cause then they are not a resident. They may be a guest should you choose but they are not a resident. The...

Nope. Staying with Conservatives for now. The system doesn’t favour outsider parties and Reform isn’t structurally sound; it becomes infiltrated by bad actors which will halt progress. Besides, Tories and Labour will simply adapt Reform / Lib / Green positions should they need and nullify that...

Yes I have. Runner up in a couple of Westminster elections, resurrected the SDP, wrote their manifesto and the policies that they now stand on and then was asked to join the governing Tory party. Opted not to stand when a / winnable safe seat in 2019 was available. (Thats how it works, it’s...

Pay attention man, I was calling out the Dem’s for lack of thought and vetting. The Dem strategy was to continually attack Trump. The weak of mind just constantly calling him a “liar”. It backfired.

OMG man, Walz was a disaster. Democrat think tank: “Walz is looking like a poor pick with his lying and whatnot. I know, let’s go and shoot some animals” Clueless. Yes, my initial thoughts about the Republican pick was that they had dropped the ball. Turns out Vance resonated with the women...

Walz? You would have thought that they would have done a bit of background to make sure he didn’t have some skeleton in his closet, like, lie about military service. The Dem selection process: “Right, we’ve gone for a woman of colour so all the diversity boxes are checked. Need to try to...

There’s a paywall https://12ft.io/ Above is a handy link to get over paywalls. Apparently.

Getting a leftist to have the pragmatism to see another viewpoint? Rare. When they do, the remaining on the left don’t like it. For example: Everyone on this photo used to be a Democrat supporter.
