Whereas the Tories are renowned for owning up to their errors? They deflect with whataboutery (Labour anti-semitism when they've got a much larger problem themselves) Corbyn and Russia but where's the Russia report? What the Tories do is when the pressure gets too much is get rid of the leader...

Yep. As you say explain is not the right word. Spell out a simple slogan or 'target' for those that never bother to read the manifestos and make sure they take parts of the policy that appeal to that demographic (as a general rule tough on crime, immigration, fund education, NHS etc.). So for...

Which makes you wonder why we and others bother getting things from there? Cheap consumer tat is fine but if you want something precise and accurate steer well clear.

I agree about the simple messages and listen to concerns, but explaining how you solve them is a waste of time. Look at Johnson - using such wide brushstrokes he may as well have just got the paint roller on it. So little detail and explanation and he gets a landslide. So sod the explaining -...

Although there were/are failings in explaining things like immigration it's not like there haven't been attempts to do so. But if people don't want to listen you can't make them. If you go into a detailed analysis of immigration most people's eyes would glaze over and they'd just stop paying...

It could be that towards the end of the year we see a massive downhill cliff as we don't get the usual elderly people dying in winter and they've gone in the spring. The issue then will be the people with other conditions like cancer that haven't received treatment, but that is likely everywhere...

But if the leagues now have more teams the TV/sponsorship money will be split more ways, taking down each clubs earnings from it for a year and if they've budgeted on that amount and have players on multi-year contracts based on that they could pursue it if they haven't agreed to it. Especially...

Unless he means care home deaths at this point are in line with a whole year. Which is a rather shitty way of spinning it. Is there anyone left in the country who can just tell it like it is rather than manipulating things?

So a corrupt establishment 'businessman' playing the corrupt establishment politician card? How is that much of an alternative?

More than feasible. US is well know for creating political dynasties. For a country that's adamantly a republic and doesn't want a king they do go about creating 'royal families' pretty well. As you say with Trump it's got the added factor of the 'brand'. Every time I see Barron the Omen...

That was kind of my point. Clinton may be far from squeaky clean but Trump is another level, following on from his dad. But as you say it sticks to everyone else but not Teflon Don and I can't work out why. If you'd said people refused to vote for Clinton because of this and had abstained I...

Although I understand it I was one of those players who would have to regularly spit because of phlegm build up. If I had to go a whole game without doing it I'd be unable to breathe.

The likes of Neymar will still be rolling around on the floor like they've had their leg broken.

Not exactly. Because they can get revenue via streaming etc and also won't potentially forfeit any monies/sponsorship from non-played games. So it's more like allowing the pubs allowed to open but can only do home delivery.

Possibly, but she should have been capable of beating him. Trouble was she got complacent thinking "I can't lose to the imbecile Trump" and her rallying became more of a 'victory parade' and her demeanour became far too cocky. By the end even I wouldn't have wanted to vote for her. Biden IMO is...

I agree to an extent but in many ways I'd prefer it like this than the old class style politics system, whereby everyone would just defer to politicians because of a suit and plummy accent when in reality they were little more able than a reasonably educated common man. You did get seem to get...

Of course there's a chance of next season looking dubious. Did you think at Xmas/Jan we'd still have 9-10 games to play at the beginning of May? They may restart, the situation gets worse again and lockdown reestablished before the games are completed. How do you know what will happen? There...

I wonder if Biden will choose Sanders as running mate? Could be a smart move to appeal to Bernie's demographics.

I'm not sure if I think the opposite - now is the best time for us to go up as without crowds it's a great leveller, esp if we're still playing in Brum. We'd be missing out on up to 10k fans per week, others would be missing out on double or even triple that, plus all the F&B income. So it'd be...

End of season promotion party! CHAMPIONES, CHAMPIONES, OLE OLE OLE
