Anyway lets get back to the Tories after yet another thread has become Grendel bashing Labour and Corbyn. Over the course of the parliament you'd hold them up against their election promises. Not sure I have much confidence there given what's happened following the last couple of elections...

None at all, no reason why UKIP can't become a party that favours unlimited immigration or the Brexit Party support remain. Personally I like to have a choice and going back to 'New Labour' and that choice being between a blue Tory and a red Tory doesn't exactly inspire. That raises the issue...

Odd rumour via some Exeter fans at work. Apparently the club currently top, Newcastle, is the club they want in the Premiership before they shut off promotion and relegation. That presents the problem that one of Wasps or Leicester seem likely candidates for relegation. Seems both clubs have...

Something needs to happen, broadband provision in this country is appalling. Rare that a week passes at work where I'm not dealing with issues caused by poor broadband for a company reliant on it.

Glasgow and Cardiff airports were nationalised weren't they? And the TSA in America.

Those hangbags aren't going to pay for themselves.

Given how often he changes parties he'll have worked his way back round to Labour in time for the leadership contest!

Don't know much about her but her performance on Marr yesterday didn't really give the impression she was leadership material.

Rumours that Jo Swinson will be rewarded for her stunning success as party leader with a place in the Lords!

Bloody hell, you're a glutton for punishment!

Shouldn't the Labour Party be left wing? Not sure many of the policies are that 'out there' compared to left wing parties in other parts of the world. Maybe it shows a flaw in FPTP which doesn't really allow for anything more than a two party system. Or maybe it shows that everything has...

In which case lets stop subsidising things. At the moment is we're caught between state owned and privately owned. Taxpayers are expected to fund the non-profit making parts of an industry while others walk off with the profits. If we're rejecting publicly owned shouldn't we see that through to...

So 20,000 Harlequins fans coming up for the game. They are absolutely hammering the advertising, must be costing them a few quid. Between that and the tickets they're giving away could be the first sell out to lose money!

The odd thing in that thread is that more people seem to be concerned about going bust than being relegated. We can overreact on here but when we are struggling people aren't posting that we're about to go out of business.

So in practical terms what would you bin from the manifesto and what would you replace it with?

Does that mean home games that are now meaningless? Looked 5K tops there today, imagine what it will be like for the remaining games.

Some of the vox pops that have been on since the election have been eye opening. Seen people saying they switched from Labour to Conservative due to lack of funding for the NHS, the bedroom tax, too many homeless, number of food banks even a vague things have gone downhill the last few years...

Was that not a foul on O'Hare right before they booted it up the other end and scored?

That's ridiculous from the ref. He practically stepped on McCallum when he was down but didn't stop play then as soon as we get in position to shoot he stops it. That's nothing but compete incompetence. He knows the player is down either stop it straight away or don't stop, not like he suddenly...
