I hadn't seen Whelpdale play before and I assumed he was some sort of Spanish trialist with his long locks and sumptuous playing style..he was a proper class act for sure

Shooman could definitely play at a higher level I'm watching him right now in fact, ground number 28!

Jeff Minton is the name that immediately sprang to mind but I was fairly young at the time so I may have thought he was better than he actually was. Slightly blinded by the fact that he could vaguely pass to a team mate and control a ball which seemed to put him on another planet to a lot of our...

Agree with that. CKR was EXACTLY at our level at the time because any better team would have demanded more consistency. Very much doubt he would have been a regular starter for many teams in the league at that point. The talent was definitely there but the mindset wasn't at al and he basically...

He got a really bad injury right at the end of his loan spell with us didn't he? Never really recovered

it's quite expensive to keep someone in prison- it's not just a case of having enough space you need adequate staffing as well, food etc

also post 2019 you had partygate, which really did see their public trust take a real kicking and the result of that- Johnson quitting and thus spawning the reign of terror from Liz Truss- Sunak really didn't stand a chance (throwing in 14 years and desire for "change")

correct- and Labour lost a lot of votes both to the left and towards the right in 2019, having been caught between a rock and a hard place. A lot of parallels with last night really just on the other side of the spectrum In response Labour had two options really, going with a fairly left...

I think it'll be very interesting where the Tories go from here. Whilst I have never, and likely will never, vote for them, a weak opposition isn't of benefit to the country in my view So my question to the Tory voters/people of the right of centre on here- where would you like to see them go...

"Nigel there's a payment here from a Mr V Putin, care to explain?" :eek:

where are those figures from? Labour+Lib Dem+SNP+Sinn Fein+Green+Plaid Cymru+SDLP+Alliance ( left or centre left parties)=55% of the vote, not including the independent candidates who are mostly left Tories+Reform+DUP+UUP+TUV=about 40% of the vote so even taking into account the really fringe...

this is exactly it

yep doubt many students would have a clue (or care!) who their teachers vote for! the only one I ever knew of was my A Level politics teacher who was a Lib Dem councillor (and a prominent anti-Falmer one at that)

yes my 18 year old nephew has voted Reform. Think a lot of that generation, particularly boys, are quite socially conservative in their views- add to that they've lived almost exclusively under a Tory government which has been, well, shit- so no surprise they'd be lured over to the Reform side

went in my lunch break to East Preston fire station- wasn't too busy but probably not peak hours as I imagine a lot of the oldies have already been and the younger lot will go after work

I would naturally vote either Green or Lib Dem but will be going for Labour as a tactical one

I'm expecting quite a lot of petulance

think I'll catch the 10pm exit poll, go to sleep and then get up at 4ish for when it's all properly in FULL SWING

pretty much the only positive I can think of

I do think a lot of the Reform vote will shift to Tories on the day, but Labour will still win comfortably
