    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah but what do you want? It was never going to be McDonnell 2.0. I think planning reform is the right focus, proper living wage (I’ll wait until I see the details), workers rights from day one, improved sick pay, no ZHC all good things. Most importantly if I was politically neutral there’s an...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As always I’m in the middle on this. Rail, water and energy yes please. I think you can do some of that over time with investment like GB Energy if done properly. I’m not convinced Starmer is doing it properly mind.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Decent speech from Reeves so far. Hitting the right notes IMO. Starting to draw some clear lines.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Rightly or wrongly the people on both sides seem to dehumanise the others. I’ve seen footage of Israeli citizens saying some disgraceful stuff, and obviously we’ve seen Hamas and the like. It seems so deep seated on a cultural level that I’m not sure how you get to a point of trust between the two.

    Looting

    I was being offered meat and cheese in dodgy pubs years ago! Food poverty is definitely and issue, and the classic Aladdin story of stealing some bread to eat I’ve got no issues with. But a lot like the riots in 2011, while a few may have righteous reasons, a large amount are just taking the...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    This was massively overblown TBH. But regardless from game one you saw his ability. There’s an argument for Vik, although I still think that was returning to the mean, but Hamer came to us with some of the best key passing stats in Europe for his age. He wasn’t some nobody we turned into a PL...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Honestly no fucking idea. Everyone’s angry and any question gets a pile on from one side or another. It sounds a bit Jezza but: 🤷🏻‍♂️ Violence is bad? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Hamer had the ability from the start.

    Looting

    Lets be honest here. It’s not people stealing to eat.

    Atmosphere

    Safety concerns because of the size of the trains I think. Not sure why the trains are so small.

    Allen isn’t a CM. I’d have Eccles Ayari and Kelly ahead of him. We really need one in Jan.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Oct

    It wasn’t just the obvious press. There were times where a ball needed to be chased down and Wright could have easily got to it but didn’t even break into a jog.

    At least the microphone on the ref would help. And a dose of reality for footballers and start handing out cards for dissent like confetti. As shit as some refs are their job is made a million times harder IMO.

    and you go from a three man midfield to a two man, which we really don’t have the players for. I’m not against moving from a back five but playing wing backs on the wing and a midfield two of likely Allen and Eccles isn’t it IMO.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Even if you want to borrow you need growth. If you want wages up you need growth. Specifically you need productivity but they’re essentially the same thing. The Tories have squandered any growth post 2010, the growth 1997-2010 resulted in improved public services, which most lefties are quite a...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Oct

    And he’d pick O’Hare over Allen. Because talent matters. There’s just a brand of fan who idolise average hard working footballers and criticise only players with talent. See also Hamer.

    You’re basically suggesting we move from a back five to a back six??

    Watched some egg chasing round a mates yesterday. Never really watch it, but as a football fan the difference in transparency of and respect for the refs made a massive difference. Also if they did VAR on a big screen like they do in rugby you wouldn’t have got that ridiculous Liverpool Spurs...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I mean it’s the one thing Truss got right. I suspect the policy solutions will differ slightly though.
