    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ruthless bunch the Tories, aren't they? Why now? Want to keep their seats but zero principles. Johnson hasn't changed so if they backed him they share his failures. Will people fall for another Tory rebrand?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The Tories have nothing and nobody. They are a hollowed out husk. They exist only to win elections not to govern. Sadly c. 30 per cent of people either have not noticed or don't care.

    That's because they've literally got nothing else.

    Jubilee

    Really not getting this idea of skipping Charles for William. It's nonsensical. Do you really think Charles has waited over 70 years just to abdicate? Farcical. As things stand William will have to wait 20+ years by which time he will be in his 60s and the monarchy likely won't exist, at least...

    Jubilee

    Point of order - Hippies generally were white, middle class and privileged, at least in the 60s / 70s. Hence the phrase 'drop out'. They were the ones who could afford not to work and to go off to communes in West London, California, Ibiza etc.

    How can 'Dislikeable' be a criterion except in a popularity contest? If you don't like someone you've never met and have only seen through the distorted lens of mass media, and admit this openly, it says you're a prejudiced no-brain.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Politics is in a very strange place. The future of our government is in the hands of - how 2 police forces apply the Covid laws - how the tabloid hacks report and spin their decisions - how much attention the electorate pay to the findings and tabloid spin - how our politicians respond to all...

    We love a liar but hate a hypocrite? One openly f#c€s us over, makes and breaks rules and lies & blusters. The other argues for a fairer society in a boring voice and makes a minor breach of the rules (allegedly) - has to go. Then we will always be ruled by liars. God help us all.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    They are entitled to their beliefs but they should use rational, secular arguments that everyone can respect. They are not entitled to expect other people to live by their specific faith based morals. The way these people turn a blind eye to the morals of folks on their side (Eg. Trump) tells...

    They call themselves 'pro-life' when they're actually 'pro-birth'. Once you're born they don't give a sh!t about you. Some Conservative voices here (eg. Tims Montgomerie and Stanley) are expressing the view that we, in UK, should be having a debate about abortion. This is where the dark money...

    Player Ratings v Huddlesfield.

    If it's fair to criticise O'Hare for his finishing (and it is) it is also fair to criticise Hamer for most of his killer passes being astray or blocked IMO. If we retain them, both need to improve this aspect of their game. It would take us to the next level. PUSB

    I wonder what the Boris fans are hoping to achieve with this #durhampartygate thing? Been reading their twitter thread and they claim to be motivated by "It's only fair" that KS and AR be shamed and pressured to resign. But they cannot really want that because if they are motivated by "It's only...

    Deranged people on Twitter etc who get on a pointless bandwagon and spout absolute sh!te and are enraged that there is a 'hidden agenda' or a 'cover up' even when all their points have been completely debunked. Insert your favourite nonsense -

    Have Tory MPs considered that their 'loyalty' to Johnson can only be rewarded by voters if it is endless. That they'll be stuck with him? When is the right time for No Confidence? If they eventually oust him they will be seen as backstabbers by Johnson fans and as self-interested opportunists by...

    It would be nice if Johnson fans were just honest enough to say, 'Our lot were born to rule. We won, you lost We like Johnson best. We don't care what he's done - we're sticking with him.' The pathetic justifications shame us all - those that make them and the fact that the rest of us are...
