Anyway, putting the compulsory voting issue aside, it certainly is fun to be around for the Tory end-of-times party. Lots of skewering of Sunak and the Tories in the media today. Long may it continue.

Are you sure about that? Would you want a situation like North Korea or Russia, where the ruler can claim that he's got the support of 99% of the population? Would you really want to be obliged to vote for a party that you don't believe in...

I hear where you're coming from on this, and I'm genuinely sorry that in our generation (you and I are broadly contemporaries), women's and girls football wasn't taken seriously or even was actively discouraged. That was rubbish. Can I just make the polite observation though, that none of the...

I've had a browse, the numbers, compared to the number of participants in the sports I looked at, are miniscule. 10 footballers they mention, for example. That's out of 29 million female players, according to FIFA. Personally speaking, this feels a bit like a culture war thing than a huge...

I think if there was a genuine natural disaster on the way, the Tories would be desperate to hang on for it - they've shown they're brilliant at making money for their mates, out of others' grief.

Is that really true though? I don't know about you but it's going to take a lot more than the chance of a few medals to get me to part with my impressive three-and-a-half inches of blue steel. 😄

Yes, that was my thought too. I'm not claiming I've got the answers here either btw...

Voting good. Compulsion to do so bad. Is that simple enough for you? Face it mate, you've got an opinion you can't support except by mindless repetition and unnecessary unpleasantness. It's fucking boring. Get someone coherent if you want to win your 'good fight', you're obviously not quite...

So as previous, you've got no actual rational argument. You're not fighting the good fight, you're walking away from it! Make your case for compulsory voting if you've got one. I've got no problem with having a reasonable discussion on it, but don't think a handful of cheap slurs and a...

No invective mate, that's all from you with the usual meaningless 'snowflake' bullshit. Clearly you've figured out this is an argument you can't win via rational debate so you're down to playground level now. A bit poor, but if it shuts you up on it for a bit, that's got to be a win for me...

Oh do give over with the "snowflake/wokerati" rubbish. If anything you're the one being overly precious here by endlessly banging on about it - and those phrases are really just meaningless gibberish intended to insult. Anyway, people fought and died for our right to protest too. On that basis...

What's the overly simplistic three word Tory pitch this time then? I'm going for... Secure. Our. Borders.

Mate, it's Starmer. I wouldn't worry too much about anything left of centre getting through because of lack of a decent opposition. 😄

Journos seem to think it's happening! Push the button, Rishi...

Is it because he thinks that things can only get worse? I'm talking here in terms of Tory party unity, not the country as a whole - obviously he doesn't care much about the latter...

General Election imminent? Please God, let it be true... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-69048696

Well I'd never put anything past the Israeli state, currently it clearly thinks it's beyond international law. However, it would be a massive provocation, and maybe the simplest explanation is the right one here. Poor weather, difficult flying conditions, and aircraft that can't be maintained...

It's been verified by a number of news organisations, as well you know. The only thing worse than a troll, is a mince thick one like you. One day someone who knows you might find all the bullshit you spout here. How embarrassed will you be then? Just give it a fucking rest, eh, it might be...

I'm sorry mate, but I can't let the anti-Semitism thing go unchallenged. It's the left who have always stood against all forms of racism. If you're conflating criticism of the state of Israel with anti-semitism, then you're not thinking straight. As for whether Starmer moving the party to the...

BRB? Not sure where your going with Sultana, but obviously she had to go through the trigger process. Come on now, you're not seriously telling me that there's a concerted effort to either expel/deselect or refuse to select left wing candidates and members. Sit next to Ken Roach, like the...
