Re: The Labour Party Thread

Let's hope this one man crime-stopper Tory MP James Daly is as keen to call the rozzers about his party's MP's and ministers. Fingers crossed Belizean businessman 'Lord' Ashcroft can tip him off with a few leads. 87 Tory MP's and 5 in the cabinet at the last count earning many thousands as landlords...

Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium

Northern Ireland hammered Scotland 1-0 tonight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68544735 Superb goal from young Bradley, if ever things go tits up for him at Liverpool then we should be all over him. Best full back I’ve seen at that young age, he will only get better. Marshall on the bench didn...

Re: Israel

At last the USA's patience runs out with Netanyahu and his murderous ways. A good few months late but it is a significant breaking of the cover the Americans provided for Israel, so it should be welcomed.

A no fly-zone over the region and UN peacekeepers on the ground may be a step closer tonight.

Dan Barker, the Conservative candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester, has defected to Reform UK...more northern red-wallers likely to follow?

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Zombie government in a zombie parliament is true. There isn't enough parliamentary time left to do anything significant they can just manage reactive stuff, PR stunts like a plane taking off for Rwanda and a last slurp of the gravy for a few. Sunak probably has sufficient ego to want to hang on for ...

Re: Cost of living crisis

4.3m children living in poverty, up 100,000 on previous year, DWP figures show In amongst all the tables in the document there is bad news everywhere you look...average living standards down, inequality up, more kids rated as “deprived” with reference to things like warm winter coats and going on s...

Re: The Labour Party Thread

A fifth of population are struggling with basic needs and 4.3 million children are now growing up in poverty in the UK yet this trivial nonsense makes more headlines. Don't like it, don't buy it. The bigger crime is the likes of Nike and the FA / Football clubs colluding in bringing new 1st, 2nd, 3r...

Re: Educate me about.....

Disintegration , their most atmospheric & intense album is their peak, where the two strands of Cure-ishness collide - one is the dark imagery, unsettling lyrics and atmospheric bass & synth heavy tracks, the other gives insanely catchy pop tunes with bounce and verve. The former wins out o...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Don't know how much more of this I can take. VAR is the ultimate joy-killing machine in a sport that used to give the most intense moments of euphoric joy as standard. What great injustice was righted today? None. Two goals scored in 6 yard box melee's, neither clearly a handball and one subject to ...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Solid enough half, kept Villa at bay and have the lead.

Loving Coufal’s work, been really shining the last few games.
