    Fair enough mate, we've bigger things to worry about today. Happy to leave it there and hope you have a great day - if you do I reckon I will too! 🙂

    Middlesborough - Pre Match

    Good luck to everyone going up there. I reckon the locals might be a bit surprised at the atmosphere we're going to generate. I can only imagine how it's going to feel in the ground. I'm already feeling a bit wobbly and it's still hours away! Bring back at least the point, please! 🙂

    Coronation

    Just a thought this, but when I went to England games in the 80s & 90s (when it was cheap, easy, and rough round the edges), I sang the national anthem with pride. But for me it was about supporting the England team not the monarchy. I'd feel a lot different if they were playing it at a Cov...

    Coronation

    I don't think anyone could genuinely pin down the motives of tens of thousands of different people. However, if I was going to have a guess at the general thrust of it, I'd say it was something along the lines of expressing resentment at being expected to kow tow to a system that does very...

    Coronation

    This article, more than anything else I've read, might help explain why some people weren't so keen on the Coronation. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/08/coronation-desperate-nation-rotten-system?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other For me, even though I'm proud to describe myself as...

    Coronation

    Better a fool than a bigot mate, though I get the sense you're going for a little from column A and a bit from column B. Explain your masterful genius to us then. In what way is booing the anthem make someone "self righteous" (or a murderer)? This should be interesting.

    Coronation

    What on earth are you on about? What has this got to do with supporter points? Can you read without moving your lips? Does mummy have to help you with the big words? Let's be honest, this place would be so much better without gobshites like you flapping your gums. Thank God I can shut you up...

    And you must be a lunatic coke-snorting c**t, because some Cov fans behave like lunatic coke snorting cunts then, right?

    Coronation

    Personally, I think Liz's funeral was a much better episode, far more drama and pathos. This one seemed to drag a bit. The writers are going to have to either get a bit more in about the brothers fighting, or bring Andrew back into the fold (promising start with him turning up in his formal...

    FFS, grow up mate.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sorry but that's lazy bollocks and if you thought about it for a nanosecond you're intelligent enough to see it. The moderate left with the kind of policies originally trumpeted and then hastily ditched by Starmer are nothing like the far right nutters wailing about boat people and wokery. I...

    The Challinor thing, you mean? Dreadful mate, but it's one person not a whole party... If there's one thing that I'm certain never happens, it's that working people who aren't genuinely interested in politics (i.e. the majority of them), read party manifestos. Hence the usual trite bollocks...

    Thursday 4th May

    Prepare to be disappointed, that's by no means as certain as once it was. For me at least, the far more worrying shift is from one-nation Conservatives, to the far-right extremism that seems to be taking hold in many of the current generation of Tories...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's a tough one finding the space. With my Irish heritage I've also got fit in the illuminated sacred heart Jesus, the Pope, and JFK. It's getting a bit crowded next to the Queen (black ribbon, obviously), King Charles, Maggie, and Churchill. Might have to get a smaller Union Flag. :)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder if Starmer's got a picture of Thatcher hanging in his office.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Politely, I think you're just looking at an individual situation there. If you're asking whether there are 'poor' degrees out there, I'd say probably, and if you're saying does every job need a degree I'd say definitely not. However, I think my contention would be that a broadly better...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Gosh - it's almost like you and Rob are saying that making education market-driven was a bad idea. :)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's interesting that so many countries don't seem to struggle to offer free university education (partial list linked to below). This isn't an either/or thing, imho. We don't need to dilute funding to other areas of education or the NHS to do it, it is (as with most elements of public...
