No balding ginger Welshman will ever be seen as PM material. He could have been possessed by JFK and that would’ve still been the case. Both left and centre left of the party lack anyone with that kind of rhetoric. I have a theory about the reduced role of the church and unions in left wing...

I get the impression we won’t be signing anyone, all the rumours have been quiet for a while now. Normal transfer deadline day where maybe a fringe player goes on loan or for free but that’s it I reckon.

The more things change eh?

Thought it was interesting that they’ve been paying generators to not generate power because of oversupply during lockdown.

It’s concerning we’ve signed 12 players and have basically the same first team.

Thats the point, you stop it overwhelming services and give them a chance to regroup. Delusional. Politics Isn’t sport mate. It’s OK to criticise when your team fucks up. When you find yourself claiming every other country on earth is lying about deaths and ours are the only honest ones it’s...

Banana republic. Honestly what are the odds that a group of people in with kleptocrats around the world aren’t kleptocrats themselves? Same as Trump, same as Putin. Just on a smaller, shitter scale.

Him being less right wing by definition means he was the most left wing (until Corbyn became a serious prospect), Burnham was favourite precisely because he was expected to get the vote of the left, Kendall was the Blairite candidate and Cooper the right of the soft left and Burnham the left of...

TBF until Corbyn-mania hit Burnham was a shoe in for leader. He was by far the best of the three amorphous blobs in suits. Just had his left wing support nicked from under him.

Yup. Work life balance is better and I don’t worry about lack of social life any more. Also I get to do everything without human contact which is great for someone with the level of social anxiety I have.

Just came across this. In case there’s anyone left that hasn’t seen Farage for the conman grifter he is:

Not that it wouldn’t be given, but I’m not sure it is by the letter of the law. You could argue the contact was negligible: The argument from the ref is basically that Hamer used excessive force or brutality. So it’s entirely subjective basically. I’d also argue that if that’s the case then...

Indeed. Though I’m trying to think of solutions which also meet the needs of Tory donors.

The conversation seems to have become binary again, like so much these days. I’d have thought the debate should be where can we adapt so we don’t have to lockdown or have to lockdown as little as possible. It seems to all be “total lockdown” vs “do nothing cos economy”. Where’s the innovation...

Yeah but I thought the message from govt at the moment was that ain’t gonna happen, hence me wondering if their “plan” is to struggle through to Xmas instead. I think medically both are probably needed but God knows.

Interesting. Of course schools and unis have a built in circuit breaker at Xmas anyway. Giving everyone two weeks off at Christmas with rules on travel and mixing households wouldn’t be that bad would it? Probably the least amount of economic and social impact. I wonder if the hope is we can...

I've found everyone snappier and angrier recently.

Can we just have a national gap year? “Labour would be doing it too! Only they’d ensure all the children were white!”

He’s pretty though so a lot of middle aged broadsheet women writers go mushy. There is literally no way to define this that doesn’t end up with locals selling single crisps with a pint or whatever. In trying to keep Tim Martin happy they’ve fucked themselves I wonder if the Unis themselves...

Pedantry: 81% of the responses. They sent out to 15,000 households and got responses representing 600 people. As a household can be 1-6 people god know what the actual figures were. Response rate could be anything from 4% to 0.6%.
