Boris has basically spent his whole life doing this!

So either this Government signed something that they had no intention of ever honouring, or they were too stupid to understand what they were agreeing (in law) to. Liars or incompetents, you decide. I'm saying both!

Ah stop it now, you're just teasing me. 😁 In truth of course, I've got no idea whether or not Wasps will be able to refinance the bond. Even if they do though, it's not going to be cheap, so it'll continue to be a big drag on the business. In the meantime there's no evidence that their...

I'm left-wing, without a doubt. At least these days. (Technically I'm actually left of centre, but politics has shifted so far to the right these days that people think I believe in a five year plan for Tractors, comrade!) Anyhow, there's no misinformation here. Starmer deserves to be...

This is a bit confusing. I'm talking about those two specific instances too. The difference is that I'm entirely happy for the police and courts to make a judgement on whether the law has been broken, whereas you are seemingly making excuses for those who may have (or have) done it. Boris has...

Absolutely. It's ridiculous, frankly, and makes the police look terrible. The Met appear, not for the first time in their history, to be delaying their own investigation for political reasons. It stinks.

The law is down to interpretation by the Police and courts, surely. For Boris they've done that already (at least in part) and he's accepted his guilt. There's no reason why Starmer shouldn't be subjected to the same level of enquiry, is there?

Exactly this. Possibly worth mentioning that Parliament pretty much spends longer in recess than the schools do in holidays, rarely sits at all on Fridays, and the Prime Minister sees fit to avoid even parliamentary 'urgent questions' and COBRA meetings when he's "busy" elsewhere. The...

Entirely respect the way you make your point mate, but I'm afraid I still differ hugely. The first thing I'd say is that we're not in an existential crisis, so using that as a reason to avoid action against either Starmer or Johnson, doesn't stack up, imho. Secondly both of them are holders of...

Smallest government in the world, Somalia. Ask him how that's working out for them. C'mon LG, I know he's family but you can bury him on this. Two footer, now. 😄

I predict the Tories will get a proper hammering in the next GE, though possibly not enough to get beyond a hung parliament. But it's nothing to do with any of the economic or political arguments any of us could make, it'll be purely this phrase: "It's time for a change". That's it. Crappiest...

That's entirely possible, but often even that argument doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. Even if you're voting Tory to pay lower taxes, which of course at the moment we're not, what happens if you fall ill or lose your job? Overall, what has been the impact of the Conservative government on...

Pointing out things like hypocrisy and corruption aren't a shouty pile on. My take on it is that the reason most average Tory voters are a bit shy about admitting it on open forums is that they can't face genuine debate. At best they can come up with a few (generally spurious or ad hominem)...

We need to find another Mick Harford. One goal every 16 minutes for us. That would be over 250 goals per season, and that's just league games. 😄

Exactly this. It's such an obvious ploy. The Tory government starves the larger, typically labour-leaning councils of funds, so that the electorate blames the latter for the local issues. Of course it doesn't help when local Labour in this neck of the woods also involves itself in, well... I'd...

Amazing. So apparently we should only tax companies more if they want to pay more tax. By the same logic can I stop paying the recent tax rise if I promise to invest in a Tesla at some undetermined point in the future? It's only the threat of additional taxation that stopping me going more...

Also, like most in the party of law and order, a bit bent... https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/tom-swarbrick/cameron-lobbying-scandal-eustice-policies-helping-family/

George Eustice, privately educated ex-UKIP nutter (redundancy alert), only in the cabinet because Boris prefers unthinking loyalty to actual intelligence. 'Let them eat (own brand) cake!'

I stopped watching it when it looked certain that Wasps were going to win. Arse. Now I know how those people leaving the CBS in the 89th minute feel. 😄
