As mentioned on this and/or previous threads, the words ‘fascists/socialist/communist’ get thrown around far too cheaply that they lose their meaning. Both sides of the political spectrum do this. Not my intention, it was facetious and making a meta-joke that socialists will tend to argue that...

Whilst we disagree on topics politically, you do act in good faith and are respectful. Ultimately, most people form their political views because they believe a set of ideas/policies will benefit the country. That’s something I try to keep in mind when ‘debating’ on here. Thankfully, I’ve had...

In fairness, most socialists and communists struggle to define and differentiate the terms…

The game has already begun. Keir Starmer was arguing Johnson should sacked Raab and Cummings for minor infractions. The blowback is also on Starmer for stating how strong he is and he’d sack people accused of ‘x, y and z’ - he does sack his advisors with impunity, just not political rivals...

Da Silva has been our best left back since Lampard came in and it’s not even close. Bidwell has always had this somewhat strange ‘cult hero’ status. He’s always just been a solid player for us, nothing more and nothing less.

Farage has been given coverage because lot of people like what he has to say. On Brexit and immigration, the public were happy to put their trust in the Tories between 2015 and 2024 and they violated that trust. Hence, the Tory party has imploded: no money and no activists to canvass for them...

9 examples on one tweet and doesn’t include the video she called Zahawi to resign. Who in turn has rightfully called her hypocrite asking ‘what about my family?’ I like Angela Rayner because she is a normal person who acts in a rational way. In fact, she could possibly could be a ‘victim’ of...

The one thing I expect from socialists is for them to pay the right amount tax because they lecture us on the costs of people not paying enough tax… It just so happens Rayner’s political career is built on taxing the 1% more.

Exactly… Rayner specifically called on every dick and Tom to resign over every minor infraction. If you dish it out, you’ve got to be able to take it. She’s the housing minister fiddling with housing rules and she’s avoiding tax at the same time wanting to increase tax on everyone else. In 2024...

Exactly. There’s a pattern of behaviour here where Rayner uses aggressive tax planning to avoid certain taxes like CTG and stamp duty. Which would be fine if she wasn’t advocating these taxes to be increased on other people. She had the brass neck to demand the resignation of several Tory...

The left of the Labour Party / Greens believe the issue with public services are underfunded because millionaires/billionaires aren’t paying their fair share. Hence, she has called for tax raises on many policy areas and to clamp down on tax exemptions. Following her public policy positions...

The property is in her child’s name. She is effectively the owner of the property because she is an executor of the trust. It’s not even her first rodeo. She was investigated in 2024 for potentially failing to pay capital gains tax on her property. In opposition, she got away with it on a legal...

No issues with owning property at all. It’s the hypocrisy of manipulating her ‘primary residence’ to two local council authorities to avoid reduce her council taxes. Then there’s the issue of removing herself from the deed to reduce her stamp duty bill from 70k to 30k. Considering Rayner’s...

She sold her share of the property to a trust in her children’s name that Rayner is the executor of. As a primary caregiver, she still resides in the property part time with her ex-husband (to be) as they share custody. This is a case of aggressive tax planning, the exact kind that Rayner has...

Some of those character assassinations are indeed ugly. Rayner definitely deserves the heat she’s getting because her entire career has been on taxing ‘the 1%’, yet here she is dodging tax as someone in the top 2-3% of earners. Most ‘tax evaders’ were advised by people to reduce their...

The Angela Rayner debacle is humorous because her behaviour is at complete odds with her politics. She’s a politician who regularly points the finger at tax evasion yet, given the opportunity sought legal advice to avoid a hefty tax bill. It’s hypocritical behaviour and if this was a Tory...

5-3-2 seems inevitable at points this season whenever EMC or Sakamoto get injured. Haji and Simms/BTA upfront would work well, Haji probably works better with Simms in a two than BTA but we’ve not seen much of BTA and Haji as a partnership to be fair. Plan A was to sign a winger but a CB...

It’s the paperwork and transfer deadline day is the busiest period for the people formalising the registration of players. For example, Marc Guehi had all but agreed to join Liverpool before Palace pulled out.

That’s probably the plan for now. It worked well last season at least. The top priority for Jan is wide players and at least it’ll stop people droning on about the need for another striker.

What were people saying about Torp up until this season? 😂 In fact, what about the ‘Haji can’t play upfront in Lampard’s system’ brigade. All the time, people rush to conclusions and year on year, the same bedwetters get made to look foolish. Seriously, when will these people learn?
