… Has Trump thrown a Nazi salute? Musk’s salute was not Nazi one. This is ridiculous rhetoric.

Agreed on that, he had to hit the ground running because of the anger surrounding Robins’ departure. Equally, this was an exciting job for Lampard to take. We’ve invested a lot of money in the club and have Premiership aspirations so that made us more attractive than most clubs outside of the...

Go and compare what you’ve described to Mussolini and Hitler’s parties (or even Jean Le Pen’s NF) in the past and if you can’t tell the difference, I’m happy for us to knock the convo on its head and agree to disagree. In fact, you don’t have to because Trump has served one term already and it...

Of those fascistic features, which applies to Trump in your view? The Republican Party of 2024 does not resemble the blackshirts or brown shirts of 1920s Italy or Germany. Traditional mainstream media outlets remain hostile to Trump and is free. As is social media. The political system of the...

I just said that he’s not going to be a dictator nor get a 3rd term without a supermajority in congress. Then you’ve gone and done the mental gymnastics of calling him a fascists and how he just needs a pretence for what he wants to do. Believe that if you want, it just seems like you’re...

I’d ask you to define fascism but there’s little hope of that when you can’t spell it properly. It’s a real shame that the word ‘fascist’ gets bandied about so casually that it starts to lose its proper meaning. People like you dilute its meaning to just people who you don’t like and disagree with.

Classic case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s not a very good dictator if he leaves office despite believing he was cheated in 2020. Biden literally mobilised the DOJ to try and convict his political rival. That is what real authoritarian leaders do. There isn’t anything wrong with firing...

You don’t know about dictators do you? Real dictators go out of their way to legitimise their power grabs. Hence even North Korea has ‘elections’ for local officials to its assembly. To govern, you also need control of the bureaucracy which is why, even with a democratic mandate, the Trump...

I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. Either he is a dictator and announces he will suspend the next elections or he democratically amends the constitution to remove the 2 term limit (only introduced after WW2). As mentioned, the latter requires a congressional supermajority. He literally won’t be...

How did you get to that conclusion? Of course it’s a land grab because Putin and many Russians deny Ukraine is an independent entity and the breakup of Belarus and Ukraine was considered a disaster for ethnic Russians. Onto the point about the war starting in the first place, Biden publicly...

What is the primary issue driving housing shortages? It’s not planning reform, it’s not corporate greed. The primary and most fundamental issue is that as a country, our population is growing too rapidly to keep up with the necessary infrastructure demands. Most of the country backs reducing...

It’s what the presenter asked of Angela Rayner and it was a mischievous question to ask. Nonetheless, the fact Rayner went from saying there’s not enough social housing to ‘there’s plenty of houses’ in a matter of seconds is amusing, but baffling. It demonstrated just how uncomfortable Labour...

It’s not a rant, it’s pointing out that the housing policies of this government and the last are not fit for purpose. Frankly, it’s an issue that permeates over a lot of policy areas which why it gets spoken about a lot. That, and the electorate has consistently voted to reduce numbers and the...

Exactly, if net migration was 0, the government would only address the housing deficit at the end of the parliament (1.5m homes). As it happens, the Government forecasts our population will grow by 2.5m people, something doesn’t add up. Two important things to note here; 1) the 300k target has...

Surely every Coventrian understands the look of bemusement when you call a bread roll a batch anywhere else in the country. My first time was up north when I was uni and the man serving me at the chippy did not have a clue what I was talking about! 😂

Disagreed because the governments in Germany and USA, in particular, were anxious about giving Putin ‘an off ramp’ and hesitated in giving the Ukrainians what they needed to turn the tide of war precisely because the Russians sabre-rattled. Specifically, the EU nations were concerned about...

That’s simply not true. One of the biggest things Ukraine wanted to do was to use US weapons for offensive purposes (I.e. in Russia) from the get go and particularly before the counter offensive in 2023. Biden delayed allowing this until after the 2024 election. Likewise, Germany also blocked...

Seen a bloke wearing a Cov shirt in Aachen during the Euros and for a moment, it seemed like this random German bloke supported us… … turned out he was from Cov when I got talking to him on the train in Belgium!

You’ve not seen the peace agreement so that’s impossible to make that judgement. It’s posturing from the Trump administration, JD Vance said in tweet that the US has leverage on both sides. Wake up and smell the coffee. The Biden administration could’ve put Ukraine in a much stronger position...

Agreed on cutting and/or raising thresholds or even abolishing SDLT altogether, it does partly clogs up the property market. That said, I have my doubts that elderly people would move from their family homes because of SDLT. The only people who would downsize are probably poorer pensioners who...
