    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Fair enough, I respect the honesty. As said, I can differ from your opinion without having to hate you personally! So have a good one, I'm abandoning this to do some work (and possibly listen to the cricket, if it's on yet). 🙂

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If he didn't it was because Boris told him not to. Boris was hoping that by nobody opposing the motion it would go through "on the nod", i.e. without a formal recorded vote, and on that basis no one could know how little support he actually has amongst Tory MPs. Like Boris, at heart Mogg is a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hold up mate. It seemed to me that the crux of your argument was that everyone was at it anyway, so why should Boris et al be punished just for being Tories? However that argument is based purely on your opinion and behaviour; it seems that largely (but not universally), people tried to follow...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Nope, but nice try. People are "triggered" because they can see the obvious injustice, hypocrisy, and dishonesty. There are people (lots of them) who couldn't see their loved ones, alive, or when they were dying, or even go to their funerals. But those rules didn't apply to the "Jingle and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Pete, as ever you are a man of reason and I know where you and others are coming from with this. The truth is though, that I can't 'engage' with this version of the Labour party. They are becoming less and less aligned to the things that are important to me; equality of opportunity, a fairer...

    Death List 2023

    Pretty good in most things, as I recall. Excellent in "Things to do in Denver when you're dead", if you like that sort of thing...

    Death List 2023

    Personally I saw him as a cowardly, cold-blooded killer who got precisely what he deserved. There's a worrying rise in extreme libertarian and far right conspiracy theorists who think that violence is the way to propagate their views. If the bloke wanted to live in the wilderness and write...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's ridiculous to say that we can't find 28bn to invest in green infrastructure when we can afford 110bn (and rising) on HS2. We're running out of time, and fast. We can either make the economics start to work for all of us and the planet, or we can let the very rich get a bit richer and get a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The bloke is a proven liar. He literally took the piss as both an MP and a PM because as well as being mendacious he's also staggeringly lazy. He's run the most corrupt, cronyist, and incompetent government in living history. But he's a bit of laugh, enjoys a bit of casual, dog-whistle racism...

    Season Tickets!!!

    If it's crap for some people and you're potentially losing sales, then it's not really "great" even if the overall numbers are rising. I can't understand why anyone would struggle to see that. What are the figures for retention and abandoned sales? How many people had to deal direct with the...

    Season Tickets!!!

    I've no dog in the fight here, given I'm not trying to buy a ST. However, it's always seemed obvious to me that if you're running a business based on customer goodwill and discretionary spend (which is most businesses), you do everything in your power to keep your customers happy and meet their...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Surely Russia. Removes a strategic path across the river and makes conditions downstream more difficult for the Ukrainian counter-offensive. It's also an incredibly dangerous act that fits in with Putin's entire approach to the war. I think it probably also shows how nervous the Russians are...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If it was any normal human being I'd completely agree mate, but Boris is such a deluded narcissist I think he genuinely believes the country will have him back regardless (cf Trump). Step one is to ditch Rishi of course...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's about dropping Sunak in the shit, mostly, I think. There's a huge sense of betrayal from Johnson and his followers and they'd love to wreck Sunak's premiership. No matter how damning any evidence might be for Johnson, I think he believes that the Conservative Party membership would vote...

    Nicola Payne Documentary

    And because they are utter, lowlife, criminal scrotes, of course. I would think the chance of any viable DNA would be long gone now, but they might have been stupid enough to leave something else behind I suppose. I like the thought that the renewed focus might make the guilty parties feel a...

    Coventry United Ladies...

    Indeed there is. Might as well forget everything I've written. Be good if they could step up a level or two and start playing in Coventry instead of Kenilworth perhaps. https://www.ccwgfc.co.uk/clubinfo/About%20Our%20Club

    Coventry United Ladies...

    Yep, that's the thing. Start with a small amateur team at the lower levels that just needs minimal financial support. Maybe some help towards kit and mini-bus hire for away games. Occasional coaching and physio input from the people already at the club perhaps. If there's sufficient support...
