    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If you see life as being Winners V Losers Strivers V Shirkers Patriots V Traitors Then you are an open goal for the Tories who use every trick in the book to paint themselves as Patriotic winning strivers and paint Labour as the home of wokes, shirkers, traitors and losers. Every tory voter I...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Which is a criticism that working people who vote tory level at Labour voters, and is a subtle way of calling them thick, I think.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Firstly the old working class has always had 'Alf Garnett' types who look up to toffs, dislike change and foreigners and have no sense of solidarity with their peers. My family, solid WC dad worked in car factory etc, has all my life had more tory voters than Labour. Secondly, Labour tribal...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I can't see the point of Labour any more. Until we stop talking about a mythical working class that hasn't existed for about 40 years they will go round in circles. Analysis of society along class lines is of no interest to most people. Working people no longer have any class solidarity which is...

    Anyone who loves choral music check out 'The Sixteen'. Sublime. Seen them live many times - Oxford, Birmingham, Worcester. They appear at Coventry cathedral occasionally.

    Derek Chauvin Trial

    If he didn't 'intend' to kill him why did he remain kneeling on his neck long after he was clearly dying? There is no doubt the man is dying and no reasonable person can deny that.

    O'Hare stats this season

    Whilst disagreeing with the OP, I feel bringing COH off the bench in the latter stages is worth doing at times. He may be our best player but he is very wasteful at times. If we only have one up front COH is given too much to do so I would not start him unless we have 2 strikers or someone to...

    School Protests

    As a retired RE teacher of 35 years experience, AT LAST, a thread I can claim expertise on. I will say this: Discretion is the better part of valour. Just like when teaching about pornography in PHSE you don't show actual porn images, in RE when teaching about blasphemy you don't show images of...

    Where there are kids there are paedophiles, it's as simple as that. Paedophiles are very cunning and often patient at grooming. They are also duping the other adults of course.We all have to be hyper vigilant. A child must only be alone with trusted adults and under scrutiny . Sad but true.

    Guns in america

    We should be so grateful for the response to Dunblane. We seized that tragic moment to do the right thing and ban handguns etc. America is too far gone, sadly.

    I like SBE now I've got over my irritation with the host's 'Yeah definitely' and Dean's 'If I'm honest'. Although they were very slow to realise we aren't playing well and have looked toothless for the whole of 2021.

    Why does Dabo receive so little criticism? He keeps giving the ball away and is taking up poor positions.
