But the point is you're very unlikely to actually get that option. It'd be like having a dinner party and over half are vegetarian. Choosing the food, some want the vegetable curry, others want a salad, some want jacket potatoes. Meanwhile, the few meat eaters all decide on steak and spend the...

Exactly. If he'd supported them the story would be "Lefty Starmer wants to increase cost of rail tickets and put rail infrastructure on its knees" Because he didn't it's "Coward Starmer won't back strikes" Got fuck all to do with reporting and everything about the narrative.

Why can't I help but feel that if he had the polls wouldn't look like that. It does feel that it's 'whatever they do, it's the wrong thing and they should have done the other'.

:ROFLMAO: If you had historical knowledge and understood the implications of history you'd know that pretty much everything you stand for has ended up failing over the past millennium. The best advances in terms of knowledge and living standards come when ordinary people are given more power...

But the point is that more and more striking/pickets etc are being made unlawful. If they do so, the government just looks for ways to stop them doing it next time and make them the villains. If they put half as much effort into stopping companies and the rich taking the piss there wouldn't be...

and wasn't elected as PM.

It does seem that they see how the Tories get elected time after time and are using it as a blueprint. Doesn't seem to have worked to well with Miliband or Starmer. But then neither did Corbyn. So it seems the issue isn't about policy as neither left or right wing policy works - it's literally...

I do get your point, but we are at a stage where if you don't go for Labour/Starmer, you WILL end up with Johnson instead. Which would you prefer? I don't like the idea of voting for someone because hey aren't someone else, but we're now so desperately in the shit it's something we as a nation...

For the love of God please let it be a vasectomy!

Replace with Boris and NI protocol/Brexit. Seems like Starmer is being held to much higher standards than the actual PM. Or is that how you do it nowadays? Be charasmatic but untrustworthy and get a free ride?

The point is because they're not a Tory. He might not be ideal, but isn't he still better than the actual Tory alternative? There are other options of course, and if you feel they offer more of what you stand for vote for them. I liked a lot of Green and Lib Dem policy more than labour last...

The biggest achievement was getting money for him and still having him play for us!

Isn't that a conflict of interest and possibly against betting rules?

I don't remember scoffing at Corbyn. It was more how they would be taken by the general public, which is basically the point I was making here. I felt quite a few of his ideas were good, just he was trying to change too much too quickly to appeal to most of the general public.

I think we have a winner. I was sure there was an image of them holding the cup aloft together but couldn't find it and couldn't be asked to go through the game footage to find it.

Trouble with 'innovative policy' is that it's always met with scepticism and cries of how bad it will be, and with people being naturally wary of change you just end up getting the same rehashed shite that's never worked before under a new name so people feel comfortable. That's why right wing...

Isn't that the test to get the job these days? To pin the blame on everybody else but themselves.

Of course the counter argument is that if he doesn't and only scores a handful his value will decrease. Personally I'd like to keep him because his all round game adds a lot, but IF his goalscoring decreased we'd need someone else to step up. Godden is a good goalscorer to play alongside him...

Would've been nice to get him, but don't feel he's irreplaceable. Showed how useful a left-footed LCB is, so I'm sure we're looking at others. If he wanted reasonably high wages and his injury record continued as it has in the past I feel we could possibly get better VFH elsewhere (provided we...
