Sure, but this is the point about the radar or should I refer to it as political instinct, and how important it is because public expectations change from when a party is in opposition to in leadership. Starmer’s MO has been to present as an honest sort, which is why all the grubbiness about...

The difference at the moment is that imbecile Liam Byrne did leave a note, and Ed Balls did apologise for Labour’s mismanagement of the UK’s financial services industry. You maybe too young but amongst other things Gordon Brown boasted about the abolishment of the boom and bust cycle and Fred...

You keep coming back to the lack of political radar here don’t you? Economically speaking the WFA is a 1.5bn issue, is a trifle and it’s certainly not going to fill a £22bn black hole if one exists. I see the FT did an FOI request on the numbers but that got knocked back. If there is no black...

The political radar should be trying to break down the algorithm that any cuts or tax rises for the U.K. populace, (pensioners or otherwise) will need to be reconciled with the general public’s understanding that taxpayers continue to underwrite billions of pounds of aid to foreign countries...

It’s a tangled web innit, and the more those caught in it continue to plead “innocence” or point to “technicalities” in the rules the deeper the contempt for the political class and wider establishment will be by the British public. If multiple house owning Ange thinks the British public will...

In terms of their “wrongdoing” sure they are absolutely not comparable, in terms of establishment types, Labour Party shills not reading the general public room to defend the miscreants it’s directly comparable. The Granny Harmer Starmer may have plenty of personal integrity, I don’t doubt that...

An interesting position to take if he was a PM with popular appeal? Dare I say Free Gear Keir could learn from his predecessor……another Arsenal fan that watched from them from the stands as leader of the opposition, and would have continued had he become PM. IMO obvs.

I think that’s a matter of opinion and timing, we know for many the “suffering” is already in the post and an imminent budget that is seeking to resolve an economic black hole is likely to deliver more of the same. The “disaster” is the cack handiness with which this is all being dealt with...

If you’re right the polling and popularity ratings of FGK (or TTK) and Labour will hold steady and you won’t need to de-construct the storm. By the way, they aren’t and based on past rampant hypocrisy by PMs etc. I doubt for him they will recover. In my view a PM that stands for impeccable...

I think some of this crisis is overblown, however Starmer nailed his colours firmly to a number of masts in opposition and following a landslide victory where it was clear he won due to huge public rejection of the Tories. Ergo, he was not popular like Blair in 97, and his political radar and...

Yes, a similar group of prominent people said similar about Huw Edwards when the Sun exposed his noncery………..ignorance is strength isn’t it?

You’re quite right on this one, however I did reference “all things being equal” that sentiment was of course aspirational. Like Huw’s case not everybody is treated equally. Which is a shame, but a fact of life…………recognising it is the key.

Just a point of pedantry, was it not a magistrate in this case, as oppose to a JUDGE. It’s right there isn’t it……….national treasure sex cases being dealt with on that TEIR of the justice system.

Ah the Reeperbahn, such heady memories. Who could forget those black whores with their Brazilian caviar antics and rainbow showers………..what with your piss stink it certainly did hum.

Maybe you don’t understand the point I was making re the “public perception” of Two Teir Keir, which he will now be known because of his support for the “full force of the law” for anyone linked to the Southport riots when contrasted to other cases like this one for Edwards. I am not saying...

Why do people ask for their data to be deleted, all things being equal this is an anonymous forum where people won’t creep about in the background trying to find out stuff about posters. What kind of weirdo would do that? He knows, as you do you deep down.

That is true, unlike others, I have yet to make a career out of it though. Life really is a bowl of toenails isn’t it?

You know your wasting your time posting sensibly on here, the sisterhood of the friends of Dorothy will be goose stepping down here any minute now.

You’re quite right, I always look at a posters miles on the clock which helps put the needle to the dial on just how much nonsense they post. Life is for living innit, drinking with your mates and shagging the wife. Not stuck on here between bouts of xhamster. North Stand Chat amongst the...

The card is played. Did that individual kill that serving MP because of what he read on Twitter or because he concluded she was primarily more concerned about the lives of people in foreign countries than her constituents? I think many people these consider many MPs are that way inclined, in...
