Tradition. We've had a long,long period of right-wing politics and even the only break from that was centre-left at best. Ingrained belief they're a steady hand, party of law-and-order etc and it's just becomes almost Pavlovian.As people get older they tend to move the right as fear of change...

Exactly - perception not reality. There is no empirical evidence that Tories are any better at doing an effective job - it's just this long standing ingrained thought that they do. It's seemingly based on Labour of 50 years ago and it's a lot different to then. As for voting greens I think it's...

I agree about it likely to be a lot more food/perishables not being exported in comparison to non-EU but not sure about it just being a bigger market overall. It's a percentage change compared to the same metric isn't it, so the disparity in scale is considered in the calculation.

But Tories do good PR. Vaccine programme doing well means 18 months of mismanagement, corruption and lying get forgotten. I see already they're preparing the general public for the next 'Tories are great' story by having "biggest ever predicted growth" stories flying about, when with even a...

Indeed. I see the BBC had the 'Starmer taking cheap pot shots' story because of a picture with some wallpaper was 3rd on the main headlines earlier. Higher up the bill than the VIP PPE contracts. A picture is more newsworthy than billions in public funds given to donors/family/friends. The PM/...

It's more the point that any party that decides to work with the Tories tends to end up getting caned and ends up the scapegoat. But on issues like that yes they do make Tories look 'woke'. Irony is that those kind of issues they're far more closely aligned with deep Catholicism and even the...

And another party that made the mistake of getting into bed with the Tories

There'll be a lot of Cummings and Govings at No.10 before long.

Didn't say they were for us.

If we sign him I hope the twitter reveal involves him walking over a hill with the tagline "Who's this coming over the hill?"

He's the biggest arsehole in a government rife with them. I'm almost willing to give the likes of Johnson and JRM a bit of leeway because their privileged upbringing gives them that mindset. Gove however was in care in Scotland and was adopted. He literally relied on the goodwill of strangers...

Not far off what I'd do. No problem playing a strong starting XI but want to see a lot of the youngsters on the bench and given some minutes. Main stipulation for me are that if they're not going to be here next year (unless we are going to try and get a loanee back or considering signing them...

Yep. The coup is on.

No, he's not. I'm Dreamer. And so is my wife.

A lot of Jealous Guy's out there that he's a Working Class Hero. ;) Match threads are usually full of Instant Karma.

I agree. When they took over we were in with a chance of going back up but the club finances were so poor that was hampering it from achieving it. So a relatively modest investment to buy a struggling club and buy some decent players could see a quick turnaround for a very large profit if we'd...

It's not technically keeping on it's own two feet. It is requiring a cash boost from the owners to cover the cashflow shortfall every year and without that we'd not be in a position to continue, Arguably in the last couple of years with the owners taking some of the money out to repay their...

Technically it isn't true because they'd always be willing to sell if someone offered silly money. Reality is no-one will. Can't see them selling up because they won't get what they want. No-one is going to pay up what the owners are owed + interest for a club that is lower end Championship...
