No worries Tarquin, I'm sure you can get the L&W supporters to lobby Dave Boddy to ban anybody daring to criticise the Prime Minister

No opportunity to discuss the merits of O'Hare.
No opportunity to discuss the best midfield pairing.
No opportunity to discuss whether Dabo is overrated.

What else we gonna do?

Blart about Covid and boring politics. That's all we've got.

Well I'll ask, but it seems we have to keep a few of the underclass in for balance and order.

Across England, people were still banned from meeting more than one adult from another household socially – and then it had to be outdoors and at a 2-metre distance.

Johnson being a c**t is a fact and facts can't be political

What you're after is protection from the realisation that you voted for a c**t

Given The choice was him or an IRA suck up that’s really not a great response - what are they?

Take a good look at this then. Brexit and Johnson's handling of it has clearly done more damage than good.

In the latest polls Sinn Fein are ahead for first preference votes with the next assembly elections due in May. If republicans take the majority of first and second preference votes that’s the trigger for a border poll and the end of the union. All thanks to Boris, they’ll be painting murals on walls of him in republican areas as the man who united Ireland.

They are also looking like romping home in the Republic as and when their next election happens. All so bloody avoidable, and I said so in 2019 that this is what would be the consequence. You've got 2/3 of all NI voters thinking there should be a border poll within 10 years, and it's only in the DUP/UUP vote that there's a majority for staying.

The Union should never have been less important than Brexit. The comments in there are damning.

Really really disagree with this so strongly and not because of who it is, I'd be the same if it was Starmer or previously Corbyn. Whatever we do or don't think of them, politics has no place in football.

Especially at a time when we're trying to eradicate divisiveness based on race, religion, gender or sexual preference, adding politics to the mix brings a whole new level of hatred and is unnecessary and unacceptable. Support your team.

Well he clearly has. Creating a de facto border between UK and Northern Ireland has to be the start

If the union splits, then I wouldn't gloat too much guys as the number of Tory seats required will be so much lower and will be a long time in power.

The picture, published by The Guardian, shows the prime minister, his wife Carrie, and colleagues with wine and cheese. It came after a news conference in which the then-health secretary, Matt Hancock, outlined the latest lockdown restrictions.

I hereby confirm that I am forming a political party called 'CCFC fans'

Any gatherings of aforementioned 'CCFC Fans' associates shall not be perceived as 'social gatherings', but as 'staff meetings'.

If anybody has a problem with this, please take it up with Cressida Dick (who will do fuck all).

Fucking shambolic debacle.

Why? Irish reunification would meant the end of the union, but it wouldn't automatically mean saying goodbye to Scotland and Wales.

And it was the tories who had to be propped up by a party from the province in 2017.

I would also suggest that overseeing the demise of the union by a party called the Conservative and unionist party would surely pose big questions about their competence on top of all the other shit surrounding them at the moment.

Don’t think it would make much difference. Sinn Fein don’t take their seats and the vast majority of what’s left are the DUP.

You're only saying that because you agree with them. Take a step back, as I've said in my edit, it's divisive. You'd agree I'd hope if it was on race or religion etc and wouldn't dismiss it as ok down the pub. It has no place in football.

The problem with claiming these are all work meetings is either people don't believe you or if they do believe you its the most unprofessional workplace in the country with seemingly daily breaks for cheese and wine.

Nobody’s gloating. What I find very odd is how blasé the Brexiteers and Tories here and elsewhere are towards the country breaking apart as a consequence of things and people they voted for.

‘British sovereignty’ means little if the British state doesn’t last barely 10 years after the vote.

Scotland have had referendums to leave oddly before brexit and Sturgeon will do it again if she can and lose again

It’s always been within irelands remit to vote for union with the south since the signing of the Treaty - I think the appetite will not be great in the south and was always at one point going to the be the majority in the north
