Exactly. And before anyone glibly points out that our huge profit is no good to a season ticket holder, it is worth pointing out that it does mean we are in a position to offer whatever we feel is right for any players willing to come here, whereas Palace need to sell players to balance the...

I thought Starmer would beat Sunak with ice cool dissection of his nonsense, and that didn't happen. Let's see how witty Mordant is when she's defending her crap performance over 14 years from six different opposition parties.

I know that Truss was woefully arrogant and incompetent, but whenever this sort of subject comes up, I feel we have been so spoilt for choice over the last 14 years and yet I simply cannot look beyond Boris Johnson. Johnson is the absolute icon for bullshit populism. The man lacks any moral...

Interesting times but my money is on it settling down and the Tory party eventually reigning in their traditional vote. If that happens I hope to God they do it by rooting out corruption, attracting a new band of vaguely talented politicians and most importantly, by pushing back on the constant...

Sorry, we know nothing of our recruitment compared to theirs. The season only finished last weekend, and we've never been rushed into any recruitment - players or manager. I can't believe you're making a big thing of 19 days. That is nothing! I'd rather they took six weeks and got the...

Palace have won six out of seven against teams on the beach, and pipped us to 10th place. I'm sure they feel smug and pleased about things at the moment. But let's remember which club finished 9th (a position Palace haven't reached in the PL era), then broke into the top six and then topped a...

This is the problem that the sane two thirds of the country need to see. It's all very well everyone revelling in right wing parties splitting the vote in the way that left parties have done for decades, but as soon as enough people see the Tory party as electable, we will be back to the Tories...

I was living in Canada at the time and remember it well. The main difference is that here the SNP are in decline having peaked the previous term whereas in Canada the Bloc Québécois actually became the official opposition. TBF, I don't think the SNP can ever become the official opposition as...

I agree that we were left wondering how exactly these things are going to be paid for. Yet despite neither of them giving any explanation, the Conservatives were somehow worse. Why is it that Labour are scrutinized over how things will be paid for, yet that never seems to apply the Tories...

Now that Farage has announced himself as a candidate, I'm surprised he didn't somehow muscle his way into the leadership debate - the self important tosser.

I've mentioned it before but Labour are now conditioned to not give anything away when they are ahead in the polls. In 2019 we saw them fully cost their spending plans in their manifesto - only to have it picked apart by our "fair and balanced" free press, Meanwhile the Tories manifesto was a...

I've told you before - in 2019 the Tory manifesto was paper thin whereas Labour fully costed their expenditure and had every detail picked over by a right wing press and their cheer leaders, who didn't even try and point out that at least they had tried to cost their plans. The result was an 80...

Correct.

Exactly. It's not nice, and certain types will always attract this sort of thing. Careful though, Colonel Fücktard might cry if you don't demand this thug be locked up immediately.

Ah, the bore returns. I am not disagreeing that it was massive news. Try and read what is written.

I agree there was universal condemnation, absolutely. My point here is the level of outrage was simply not there, and whilst lots of commentators on all sides had something to say on that when it happened, they did not rush to do so in the way we are seeing here.

I'm almost surprised this isn't being staged right in the middle of the Caribbean hurricane season.

Politics was reduced to that 20 years ago, when it happened to left wing John Prescott. :shrug: And I don't take Twitter as a barometer of public feeling, I was just pointing out that the awful right-wing Dan Wooton, Isabel Oakeshott, Miles Gardner, Aaron Banks types couldn't get their tweets...

Oh have a day off, you soppy gimp. I am pointing out that there is a massive overreaction to this. Nobody made half the fuss when John Prescott had this happen.

It was a milkshake, not acid. All the apologists for the far-thick and their Gbeebies/right-wing media chums are absolutely apoplectic with rage over this. It's funny, there simply wasn't the same torrent of outrage on my Twitter feed after Jo Cox. But then again, she was just murdered.
