I think we're in danger of stretching our version of democracy until it snaps. I was thinking today about my local MP. He's a tory, represents a West Midlands seat, lives in Hampstead. He tweets himself supporting local councillors protecting the green belt and doing the odd apprentice fair...

No it isn't. Some of us mature people have hundreds of CDs or vinyl discs already and expensive sound systems so why would we bother to stream or download? I'm very unlikely to want to.

Precisely. Season ticket holders should have proper representation. I'm wondering if supporters clubs in 'insert location' should have all the goodies like 'An evening with MR' and visits from players when those who live a distance or are not club joiners can be mostly ignored.

I got an email from them.

Could today's decision about nightclubs needing a form of vaxx passport by the end of September be extended to large venues including football in due course? "Nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather." Brace yourselves for the possibility.

Nice stuff. Just a reminder by 'Adult' they mean 'Adult Men'. Just click on the size guide for confirmation. Disappointing.

Pedant alert The father of the bride walks her up the aisle. It's your job to walk her down the aisle!!

Discriminatory against fans who don't do Facebook. Why can't they stream it on their website?

I think a lot of 'lefties' or progressives like the Tories being in power. It gives them something to rail against whilst maintaining some sense of moral superiority and being spared the practical issues of power. It's this that puts many people off Labour. They "smell" too preachy.

Which is precisely why I and many others could never join the Labour party. Too many zealots arguing about rulebooks, Hamas or union block votes.

Exactly. The Conservative party is the most successful in the whole Western world - at winning elections and keeping their hands on the levers of power. Not very good at governing though. The country has been in steady decline throughout their history. Nearly all positive changes have been made...

If you were on a plane during a storm who would you want as captain, Johnson or Starmer? If you were on a cruise ship on a lovely day who would you want as entertainment manager, Johnson or Starmer? Until enough people understand that the country is on the former not the latter our decline will...

The reasons given by participants for not trusting Labour are both illogical and disingenuous IMO. Illogical - - didn't like Corbyn = he's gone. - Labour are spenders, Tories cut = duh, have they not seen the money tories are spraying everywhere, much of it to their mates. Disingenuous - I'd...

Our game moved to Friday night now. Good - won't miss Ryder cup or at least not much?

The England team belongs to all of us not just the members. No comparison to loyalty cards. My nectar card doesnt entitle me to access Sainsbury's and take all its produce, it gives me small rewards only. Membership schemes have their place but they shouldn't amount to buying almost complete...

Yes but its also about availability and capacity. Why should a group of members buy up most of the capacity as a reward for loyalty? This practice leads to too much privilege - Lords cricket, golf and other sports clubs etc taking the lion's share of land and every other type of ownership. Time...

No

Should be reformed now. Major tournaments should not be a closed shop for members. Members should get about 20 percent of the total. And weed out the yobs, drunks and racists. The general public should be able to enter a lottery for about 70 per cent of the tickets. High time elite sport was...
