Thanks, and apologies for my late reply: I've been trying to do work all day, and have achieved very little. I think you should carry on posting on the political threads, but not if it generates regret. There's a political naivety about the WFP issue that stands out, because they seem so in...

I'd take three in the next two ... ... and a Cup win :jester:

Agreed. Starmer has just admitted that he didn't impact assess the move. With a bit of luck he and RR will learn from this. The optics are terrible: singling out pensioners I can just about forgive given that their income has been protected of late, but doing it so it's just pensioners was daft...

There was one yesterday too, at about 16:30

You can't beat it when happiness abounds.

Loving the inclusion of the 'I can read it all by myself' logo.

Spot on. Brexit was not the cause of the decline, it was the sign of it -- but also its accelerant. The UK entered 20C as the preeminent power, now it's the 6th or so largest economy, and its lost an empire too. Yet we still have to endure nonsense about how 'Great' Britain is, how 'Global' it...

It's not a contradiction, I'm assuming you mean. If so, what's the premise that you'd put into it which prevents it from being so? (Is it for instance, the difference between hope and expectation that was acknowledged?) Well, there will be other reasons that Brighton got relegated, and Manager...

I'd rather not compare the two atm, but would add about Minteh that his pressing is off-the-scale, and has enabled us to win the ball back high up the pitch several times, and I don't see that changing.

I asked why you hold Labour to a higher standard than the Tories. You say: -- I don't, and -- I am hoping for far, far better from the LP This would suggest that you do. Another way of putting it is that the only way this response is NOT a contradiction is that your hope is different to...

You carry on. If I was skilled enough, I'd dig out posts where I've previously said that PMQs is a waste of time. Just so you and others can understand, I'm a member of a different party to the Labour Party and am very interested in the principle of holding PMs, governments and, within that, MPs...

And on this one, might it not be better if PMQs was ditched, or the rules tightened such that it ceases to be a pantomime?

I think you'll find all new governments do that kind of thing, and would offer that's not the most revealing answer to the question posed. I do get the point made by @LamieRobertson that once in office, the spotlight intensifies. I'd also add that the media tends to be more exacting of Labour...

Why is it that the likes of you and @Kinky Gerbil hold the Labour Party to a higher standard than the Tories?

I like this, but might play Veltman at RB and Hinsh in CM

If you're saying that Kloppball is better than Pep boreball, I'm with you. Still love Pep ball though.

I'll have you know it was a Tuesday evening in Brazil. And we can guess that it was a cold one too, certainly by their standards.

I have actually just had a red pill. Where do I apply?

Great post but my recollection is that Weiffer mentioned scanning on more occasions in that interview.

Nope. RDZ didn't impose his style immediately, and continued playing the three at the back he found on his arrival. There were eight PL games until the WC break, and we didn't win until the seventh, against Chelsea. We saw his 'philosophy' after the WC break, when he had a bonus (equivalent of...
