    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    You have my full sympathy mate. Fwiw, and especially given the state of English rugby at the moment, I can't see anyone serious investing in this. It's dreamers and chancers, just like the last time, gulling the naïve and the corrupt in the local council. Just like the last time. It'll probably...

    Sky Blue Song

    That's a great call-and-response tune. I'll just make the observation that Cal-lum-O-Hare scans quite nicely into the first line of it, and leave you to make up the rest. All I request is a songwriting credit (and 50% of the net profits before tax). 😁

    Sky Blue Song

    Sacrilege! We can't drop "our" song. If you can't hit the high notes, just shout that bit - it's not an audition, it's passion!

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    "How likely would you be to subscribe to a TV channel if Wasps were available to watch?" Good Lord. As to wanting to play in a division that shares their values, they haven't got any bloody values, so that will be tricky. As for sustainable, that's for the birds too. If they want a...

    Six nations 2024.

    In fairness, Scotland as a whole looked like they had a vague idea of what to with the ball when they were attacking... Watching England isn't as much fun as it used to be!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As for toys out of the pram and fussing about semantics - for Christ's sake, it was Labour who ran flapping to the speaker whining about it all, not the SNP. Edit: Before SNP's opposition day motion, obviously. Again, simple question, if Labour were so keen on a ceasefire, why didn't they post...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    And a total reversal of logic again. If all parties wanted a ceasefire, why not simply vote for the SNP motion as proposed? Funny how no one who says the SNP are playing politics seems to be able to answer that very simple question.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You're supporting the side that were up in arms mate, it was Labour who couldn't get their arse in gear behind a ceasefire declaration. That's a matter of inconvenient fact I'm afraid. If it's not a big deal, as you keep saying, why not just support the SNP motion or allow a free vote on it...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Now I'm afraid you're making stuff up. Can you tell me, for example, which way Penny Morduant voted. Stephen Kelly? I'm honestly staggered that you think there's something more important than our government trying to have some influence on one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our times...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just a couple of points, because of the chaos the motion wasn't really voted on... particularly by the government. And actually knowing where individual MPs stand is impossible to determine. Regardless, if it was as simple as everyone wanting a ceasefire, then why didn't the original SNP motion...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't understand this point of view at all, it's an absolute failure to understand how foreign policy works. We were involved at the start of this whole mess when Israel was established, we've got a seat on the UN security council and hence a permanent veto on their resolutions, we trade with...

    Worrying. Could it be that Mark Francois is actually my brother from another mother? 😄

    Not sure what they'd find, mate. If you've only got one brain cell to process with, I guess you can't afford to burden it with unnecessary emotions.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Speak for yourself, our kid! I've done plenty of things that I can justifiably feel ashamed of or embarrassed about, but voting Tory isn't one of them. 😁 In the meantime, back on topic, having stuck up for the SNP's right to raise their own motion on Gaza, it feels to me that refusing to accept...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Because it wasn't a "better motion" in their eyes, obviously. They called the debate because it's a cause they've been behind for a long time. Again it's a trap entirely and 100% of Labour's own making. Until very recently Labour couldn't even bring themselves to mention a ceasefire, let...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It doesn't "trap" Labour if Starmer doesn't set a policy that a lot of his own members and MPs don't agree with. This slavish devotion and determination to defend Starmer at all costs is odd. The SNP policy on this has been clear for some time, why shouldn't they put their motion before...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Opposition days are always non binding votes, I believe. If you can't see it's an issue that Labour created entirely for themselves then I suspect it's because you're looking at it with one eye closed. The SNP haven't suddenly shifted their principles on this to catch Labour out; that they've...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    With apologies mate, that makes no sense to me. Either politics and where parties stand on things matters, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then what the hell are you doing on this thread? One question. If Sunak came out tomorrow and said, the UK government's position on Gaza is that we couldn't...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Where's the trap? It was the SNP's opposition day and they tabled an amendment calling for a ceasefire. It's something they've been calling for for a while, and the situation in Gaza has become rather critical. Is it their fault that Labour under Starmer struggled with the issue. Labour trapped...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's an odd take. The trap was entirely one of Labour's own making by dithering on the ceasefire issue and whipping their own MPs to vote against their consciences and the wishes of the majority of their constituents. The SNP, in fairness, has been clear on their opinion on the issue for...
