    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If only we had a government that would appropriately tax all the companies that have made a fuck load of money out of the Cov-ID pandemic. Haven’t multimillionaires/billionaires seen their wealth increase by like 25% or something? But it’s those pesky teachers that are being greedy (which I...

    Bloody lefties giving away their wages for the less fortunate.

    So where do people think they will end up Tier wise? Living in Northamptonshire I think we will be minimum Tier 2.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The government is about to essentially reset everyone’s expectations so that 20K cases and 400 deaths a day is the new baseline.

    He looked like he was struggling. I’m guessing it’s just him needing game time under his belt.

    Recommend a beer

    The official lager of Nigel Farage. Flat piss with a tinge of red, white and blue.

    Apparently being ‘woke’ is some kind of bad thing as well. We’re proper fucked.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    You look at things like Little Britain and the ‘only gay in the village’ sketches. Did those sketches set back the gay right movement or did they bring them into focus for wider discussion - does him being homosexual add context to it all? David Baddiel is a prominent campaigner against...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I can’t be the only one that doesn’t really understand ‘wokeness’ can I? And if it is what I think it is then it’s not really an exclusivity of the left? Looking at today’s story about the censoring of the Fairytale of New York - I can’t see how the word in question is being used in the context...

    Infection rates in 10-19, 70-79 and 80+ have risen in the last week - down in all other age groups.

    This £4billion keeps coming up as an investment value for all sorts of initiatives. I reckon it’s the same £4billion.

    This is exactly how I think it will go down. It’s out there in the media for a reason.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I was happy to see him as a unity candidate - I was happy with the pledges he ran and got elected. I didn’t expect him to turn his back on them so quickly. I am hugely disappointed in his support for the teaching profession during this pandemic - if he wanted ‘schools back, no ifs, no buts’ why...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I’m not disputing that the left aren’t naive in their ideals sometimes - but at least they have values and believe in something. Listening to MP’s on the right of Labour remind me of watching the Apprentice. Lots of fancy noise about ‘electability’ and ‘grown ups in charge’ - criticism of the...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    He doesn’t appear to stand for anything - and you would think the one thing he would stand up against and reject as a human rights lawyer is the spycops bill. To be honest being electorally savvy would be an improvement as Corbyn was naive here - but all Starmer appears to be doing is...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    IMO the ‘right’ of the party believe that the electorate exist to serve their needs - not the other way round.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I feel that Corbyn never got on the front foot and seized control of the narrative on AS. Often he said very little - which allowed others to set the conversation. He should have been assertive to the point of aggressive on this. Call out directly those with exaggerated or inaccurate claims...
