  1. Yes, you’ve got it wrong - or rather I haven’t explained it well. I’ve followed Cummings’ writings since the referendum, he wants to end the Tory party of bankers, Bullingdon and disdain for the poor. He wants to take them back to the approach of Disraeli, if Johnson gets on board with it. Like I said, we’ll see, but with a solid majority Johnson will have the latitude to do it.
  2. No pause. No reflection. If you don’t agree with me you’re a b’stard, because I’m righteous god damn it!!
  3. Maybe, we’ll see. Cummings is a very smart cookie, if he goes overboard early doors and the old guard resume business as usual then yes, it’s bad news for everyone. Start limbering up for IndyRef 2, the SNP seem to have done very well - not that they weren’t going for it again regardless.
  4. That’s going to be the best bit and what makes it worth staying up.
  5. Yes it’s absolutely been divisive & amplified hugely by modern technology, but is that a surprise? People feel very strongly on both sides but it should’ve been settled by the vote i.e. democratically. Where this issue has differed is the lack of losers consent from within the political elite. They’ve broken the system and are responsible for engineering the subsequent public rancour. Had they accepted it and gone along with May’s deal we’d have left last March with the softest of Brexit's. Instead they’ve played for all the marbles. We’ll see in a few hours how that’s turned out - for everyone.
  6. I genuinely think she’s ill. Hopefully after this election she’ll get the once over and (inshallah) the all clear from a doctor. Then it’ll be fair game again to mock her general bovine stupidity.
  7. No, it broke politics, or rather exposed the majority of it as a sham. Uncertainty is now affecting the economy for sure, but Brexit hasn’t broken the country at all.
  8. My bold: Of course you did. Imagine reading that litany of Jezza’s good deeds and then going “yep, that’s my guy.”
  9. It’s funny on the surface, but given the slow and obvious deterioration of her mental capacity in recent times (from a low base, granted), she may be in the early stages of a serious degenerative illness. No-one who puts odd shoes on the wrong feet should be in a serious position of power, but she could be Home Secretary and overseeing MI5 by the weekend. Terrifying.
  10. It’s a straight SNP - Lib Dem fight here in NE Fife, better Remainer unionists than Remainer separatists.
  11. There are Islamophobes in the Tory party, for sure. Is it institutional? Has Johnson shared platforms with people calling for the genocide of all Muslims? Called such people his “friends”? No, not even close, so whataboutery isn’t really valid on this occasion. I’m voting Lib Dem’ b/c the SNP. Gross, but at least I’ll still be able to look my Jewish friends in the face.
  12. If the EHRC were investigating the Tories for Islamophobia, as they’re investigating Labour for institutional anti-Semitism, you’d have an unanswerable argument. But they’re not.
  13. Today’s the day. Get out there, “hold your nose,” and vote anti-Semite for a better, fairer Britain!
  14. Sounded like an honest, unguarded appraisal of Corbyn to me. Shameful that he holds that opinion but tries to get Corbyn elected anyway - while wanging on about honesty in politics.
  15. The Ashworth tape is astonishing. If Labour win the “No.10 machine (civil servants) will have to move quickly to safeguard national security”. That from a Labour front-bencher.
  16. I think Wes was one of Suso’s calls, suspect Dean would’ve gone for Maupay given the choice. Pity that's not what happened.
  17. This whole “let’s not bother playing our strongest defence” approach is a bit rubbish.
  18. Never seen him play and wiki had him down as a midfielder, but wide forward makes more sense. Just read Deano’s latest on Wes (Villareport) and he’s pretty clear we don’t want another striker in Jan’ - his main criticism is of the defence.
  19. I just can’t imagine us dropping £35M+ on a midfielder in Jan when we need another striker so badly. Wes gets injured and we’re goosed at the moment. Even if he stays fit we need another option there more than any other position.
  20. “Breaking News..” lol. Not a big Macron fan but fair play to him for calling out Erdogan. Turkish intelligence has been up to its nuts in ISIS from the beginning.
  21. Has Nakamba done a ‘Lee Hendrie’ to one of Deano’s relatives? Shame about el Ghazi and Guilbert, but a good point.
