Anyone got the offside call still?

Why aren’t they showing it?

Didn’t know this - just saw all the lovely sing songs going left and right and assumed they’re delightful 🤣 you lived there for a bit tho I recall

Is it bad that my first reaction is what did we do to provoke them

Just leave this here

You have UK tunnel vision

No, not grateful, can you point to where I said that? Just means with these general policies that they aren’t completely right-wing, are they? They’ve kept the NHS, other public services, and public education, which is not typical of far-right parties. Yes, there are serious issues with cuts...

You’re talking about execution. I’m talking about making it a focal point of their campaign. Much of their voter base moved to reform primarily because of immigration. To suggest it wasn’t strategically the right move to focus on this is silly

You’re taking one seemingly extreme part of their campaign (realistically they didn’t actually send anyone to Rwanda did they) and pretending that that’s representative of their whole manifesto. In reality they knew it was a major factor for their voter base so they responded accordingly. That...

I think it’s lip service to try and capture some votes of the more extreme parties yeh. Which in hindsight, strategically not a bad move given where all their votes went But that doesn’t make them a far right party does it

Can you share this study? The UK Conservative Party prefers a mixed economy with yes more free market principles but also supporting government intervention and social welfare, including public healthcare. Economic policies are arguably centrist also Socially much more moderate than other...

Jesus Christ, if you think they are far right I think you need to open a history book, or look at US politics

What are you on about? The political spectrum is exactly that - a theoretical relative spectrum so obviously shifts. Most would probably agree though that the Conservative Party that just got booted out was centre right - what do you disagree with about that? The relativity is important...

Nah I disagree. Was a different system and I personally thing we looked much more cohesive and balanced

can we close this thread now

After getting to the English pub in town at 7:30am and shockingly still having to queue to get in for a 9am kickoff, I rolled in at 6pm drunk as a skunk to a surprisingly understanding American wife Passed out on the sofa just woke up it’s midnight Can’t sleep 🤣 what a day for it

hahahha

Yes but about 50% of funding for mortgages still comes from consumer deposits The point they were making was that any takings from higher rates is at least partially offset from payouts on higher interest rates on savings & CDs etc

I don’t think it’s accurate to say your mortgage payments are going up due to the madness of the last few governments. In reality we’ve both been spoilt with abnormally low interest rates for many many years, and we’ve also experienced once in a lifetime external shocks. Also not really true...

fucking hell has Ronaldo had his lips done
