The fact that my other half’s family have been burgled today with her brother’s car being taken (whilst her brother was in the house) and now he’s going to be in the hole for about £3k because he didn’t have gap insurance. Cunts.

Are you not essentially arguing about the difference between freedom of speech and freedom of expression?

You must work in very close proximity to me :cigar:

I’m the same, no point standing in a queue for 20 minutes. Get up when it’s down to 4 or 5 people.

You are aware that Tony is an abbreviated version of Anthony, yes?

I couldn’t give a toss.

How much of that - I wonder - is linked to the Tory manifesto pledge to cancel Leveson 2?

Go on then, enlighten me oh holy one.

Outrageous but unsurprising. There goes the belief that Johnson may behave in a more balanced manner with a sizeable majority.

As have I. Dickheads of the highest order.

That is what’s spurring me on to join the party. Can’t say I’m against Corbynism to the greatest extent as the better portion of policies had my support. However, you have to look at the bigger picture and understand that maybe it is too much of a jump in an instant, coupled with the fact that...

I am, however, concerned that the membership won’t be quite as accepting of the result as me. They may continue to push for someone reflecting Corbyn’s values (which isn’t a bad place to be, but I fear may lead to further stagnation). After all, what good is it having a great set of policies if...

Fairly uninspiring shortlist. The danger, of course, with picking someone from the shadow cabinet is that they could be seen as tainted by association and therefore easy pickings for the red tops. I’ve made my thoughts clear as to why Andy Burnham should be approached about taking on leadership...

Not directed at me - appreciated - but free broadband is a 2nd term policy, nationalisation of industry needs to be phased, 20 trees planted per minute 24/7 for the next 10 years or whatever policy was needs to be better thought through. Three headline policies that were quite evidently beyond...

Glad you semi-agree. To be honest I know little of Scargill and the battles so you may be right there. People my age know it anecdotally rather than directly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are plenty that side with their parents/grandparents(?) and feel the injustice, but there will be a...

I wonder how much timing plays with this. The mining crises are about 35 years ago now, therefore you’ve got an entire generation that may feel fairly unopinionated on the matter.

And I suppose that is the quandary. Whether there has been even the slightest change of opinion I don’t know - I like Corbyn but have come to the realisation over the last 2 years that he’s not the guy to win an election, and I certainly didn’t see it being this convincing! It’s evident a...

Well Andy Burnham has moved from 80/1 to 33/1 on the betting front, though I appreciate he doesn’t currently have a seat in the Commons and I was asking yesterday whether the Labour policies and processes mean he can or can’t stand. That’s who I’d be backing if he can be persuaded.

Marcus Jones is a fantastic constituency MP to be fair to him. It’s the only reason that Nuneaton has become a Tory stronghold.
