The mental gymnastics that the lunatic far-right have to undergo nowadays must be exhausting. Before Trump, anyone vaguely left-wing was accused by the right of being pro-Russia and anti-democracy. Now, the mad fuckers, having tried to overturn a legitimate election in the US, are aligning...

A simple apology takes all of the heat out of this. The fact that Sunak didn't do it straight away speaks volumes. I've no problem with him going for Starmer on the flip-flopping thing, it's not just the Tories picking him up on that. But to attempt to open a jokey attack line on the trans...

Just on the insomnia thing, I obviously don't get it anywhere as badly as some here. It's generally stress over money or family stuff that will set me off, and in truth there's probably a bit of PTSD in there too that flares up sometimes. Computer/phone games help distract from the latter, for...

I was with you until the "work hard at it", bit. Like I always say, if I'd known they wanted me to work, I'd have asked for more money. 😁 But yes, why would it bother me who our players support, as long as they're doing it for us on the pitch. Given the nomadic lifestyle of most...

Apologies, shmmeee, not quite getting the humour mate. Unless I'm missing it, that does seem to be the truth about Starmer (and his 'vote for the Welfare Cap' sidekick, Reeves). At least the Tories pretended to have an aim, remember "levelling up". It was bullshit, of course, but it got them...

If it follows the usual forum process, then shortly following this doesn't one of them have to DM the other and offer them out for a fight... 😁 All joking aside, if true it feels wrong at any number of levels.

I'm confused. What was the sample and where was it drawn from? And secondly, what did it tell us that we don't already know, i.e. that Starmer doesn't have a single principle, pledge, or promise, that he won't abandon in search of a vote (or a tick in the box from a focus group). The man's not...

I don't think my Russian's up to it mate. They wouldn't have liked my drinking either; I don't think I could manage more than half a bottle of vodka a day. 😄

I got rejected by Army recruitment for being "too bolshy". In fairness it was probably the right decision for all parties. 😁 I'm certain your cousin would've made a far better soldier than me in every respect, but certainly he would have been tougher by a order of magnitude or two. 😄

How do you know they were aware of his offences? Why not put the blame where it belongs, with the offender and the people who have the power to do something about making and enforcing the policies?

The idea that being gay or "woke" makes you weak at either an individual, societal, or military level is ludicrous. These fucking right-wing anti-woke nutters are usually the first to dodge the military when push comes to shove (e.g. that chicken shit, cowardly c**t, draft-dodger, Trump). The...

The bat shit crazy religious extremists, Hamas, were actively encouraged to take control of Gaza by the Israeli Government of course. That should never, ever, be forgotten. As for staying out of the middle east (or Ukraine), I'm afraid closing your eyes and hoping it will all go away isn't a...

I see where you're coming from, but reverse it and put a gang of Palestinians storming a hospital in Israel to neutralise an Israeli politician. Do you think that Israel wouldn't call it terrorism? The one thing I would say is that it's better than bombing and killing innocent civilians in...

There's always some kind of settlement at the end of a conflict, the key thing is on whose terms. It's not exactly out of Ukraine's hands, they're clearly willing to fight on against what they see as a threat to their existence as a sovereign democracy. They could fight more effectively and...

It's a bit rich coming from anyone British (or obviously, Russian) these days. Ukraine, at least, is improving its record on corruption, we're getting worse, and Russia has been bent for so long it's miles beyond a joke. Plus, it's completely fucking irrelevant, unless you think Russia...

Not much to add really, the bloke gave everything and a bit more for us. How many players have enough drive left in them to improve well into their 30s. An absolutely key part of the club's rise; a leader, and a warrior, and I'm sure he'll be much missed around the place.

Good listen that, thank you for sharing. Right man, right club, right time, we're tremendously lucky, imho. I hope, if or when we do get promoted with Robins at the helm, we remember how he got us there and how much we owe him. Especially if we're struggling. If there's one manager who...

Who's getting hot here? Personally I think it's pretty strange trying to fall out with Maidstone because we think they should be on their knees with gratitude at meeting the mighty Sky Blues instead of Man City. Such an odd thing to get all upset over an entirely understandable reaction...

I hope we don't have to start hating Maidstone because they were disappointed at drawing us instead of Man City. Who in their position wouldn't be? Taking it as somehow disrespectful is ludicrously thin-skinned, in my opinion. I hope we get through the replay, and Maidstone come to the CBS, all...

Chapeau, btw... 😁
