    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If it follows the usual forum process, then shortly following this doesn't one of them have to DM the other and offer them out for a fight... 😁 All joking aside, if true it feels wrong at any number of levels.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm confused. What was the sample and where was it drawn from? And secondly, what did it tell us that we don't already know, i.e. that Starmer doesn't have a single principle, pledge, or promise, that he won't abandon in search of a vote (or a tick in the box from a focus group). The man's not...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I don't think my Russian's up to it mate. They wouldn't have liked my drinking either; I don't think I could manage more than half a bottle of vodka a day. 😄

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I got rejected by Army recruitment for being "too bolshy". In fairness it was probably the right decision for all parties. 😁 I'm certain your cousin would've made a far better soldier than me in every respect, but certainly he would have been tougher by a order of magnitude or two. 😄

    Alkaline Attacks

    How do you know they were aware of his offences? Why not put the blame where it belongs, with the offender and the people who have the power to do something about making and enforcing the policies?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The idea that being gay or "woke" makes you weak at either an individual, societal, or military level is ludicrous. These fucking right-wing anti-woke nutters are usually the first to dodge the military when push comes to shove (e.g. that chicken shit, cowardly c**t, draft-dodger, Trump). The...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    The bat shit crazy religious extremists, Hamas, were actively encouraged to take control of Gaza by the Israeli Government of course. That should never, ever, be forgotten. As for staying out of the middle east (or Ukraine), I'm afraid closing your eyes and hoping it will all go away isn't a...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I see where you're coming from, but reverse it and put a gang of Palestinians storming a hospital in Israel to neutralise an Israeli politician. Do you think that Israel wouldn't call it terrorism? The one thing I would say is that it's better than bombing and killing innocent civilians in...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    There's always some kind of settlement at the end of a conflict, the key thing is on whose terms. It's not exactly out of Ukraine's hands, they're clearly willing to fight on against what they see as a threat to their existence as a sovereign democracy. They could fight more effectively and...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It's a bit rich coming from anyone British (or obviously, Russian) these days. Ukraine, at least, is improving its record on corruption, we're getting worse, and Russia has been bent for so long it's miles beyond a joke. Plus, it's completely fucking irrelevant, unless you think Russia...

    Transfer Rumour Fadz to Blackburn

    Not much to add really, the bloke gave everything and a bit more for us. How many players have enough drive left in them to improve well into their 30s. An absolutely key part of the club's rise; a leader, and a warrior, and I'm sure he'll be much missed around the place.

    Robins on 5 Live

    Good listen that, thank you for sharing. Right man, right club, right time, we're tremendously lucky, imho. I hope, if or when we do get promoted with Robins at the helm, we remember how he got us there and how much we owe him. Especially if we're struggling. If there's one manager who...

    Cup draw

    Who's getting hot here? Personally I think it's pretty strange trying to fall out with Maidstone because we think they should be on their knees with gratitude at meeting the mighty Sky Blues instead of Man City. Such an odd thing to get all upset over an entirely understandable reaction...

    Cup draw

    I hope we don't have to start hating Maidstone because they were disappointed at drawing us instead of Man City. Who in their position wouldn't be? Taking it as somehow disrespectful is ludicrously thin-skinned, in my opinion. I hope we get through the replay, and Maidstone come to the CBS, all...

    If we sign him then we need someone next to him who is quick, March? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solly_March

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I'll help. It's not that difficult. The first wrong was Hamas crossing the border and killing around 1,400 people including women and children. They've still got around 100 hostages or so, it is believed. The second wrong is the Israeli state killing over 20,000 people, including thousands of...

    Josh Eccles

    I suspect it's the manager that decides beforehand who is taking the corners, letting the players argue about it at the time would seem a bit "Sunday League". (On that note, I like to think I could deliver a decent right-foot inswinger at least once in every 400 attempts. Luckily we were so...

    Victor Torp

    If only we'd signed Victor Tarp instead. Covers every blade of grass. 😁

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ireland has a system that looks a bit better than ours, but still is criticised and it's also up for reform (says Wiki). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seanad_%C3%89ireann Off the top of my head, I'd make it an elected position, at least in the majority, and those elections based on PR so that...
