    I do think we'll win tonight, but Spain will destroy us.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Pretty funny seeing Reform whining about FPTP and saying we need PR. There was a referendum on that in 2011. They are forgetting the current electoral system is the 'democratic will of the people' and can never be overturned.

    [Travel] Sentencing for 110mph wankpanzer driver. (Sorry can't find original thread)

    This is what I don't understand about these sentences. Even in the most horrific cases, they are only banned from driving or owning a car for a relatively short time. Why not ban them for life or at least for decades? It doesn't cost the state anything and would mean they will still be paying...

    [Misc] Cataract operations - old codger thread

    You will have a choice to remain long-sighted or become short-sighted. There are more expensive multi-focus lenses - you have to go private for them.

    [Misc] Cataract operations - old codger thread

    Yes - exactly. They barely mention it! I'm glad I did my research and didn't end up long-sighted (I can cope with things in the distance being a bit blurry but annoying to use glasses every time you want to read something or look at your phone). The only downside is I need glasses for watching...

    [Misc] Cataract operations - old codger thread

    I also used Spa Medica for this recently and it was absolutely fine. Not a pleasant experience at all - but no worse than having a tooth out. Will have to get the other eye done soon. One thing I would say though - not enough attention is given to your prescription. Think of it like getting a...

    [Travel] Advance Tickets - trains

    You need to wait until the cheap ones become available. I'm looking to book the same weekend. It's usually six weeks prior to journey time. You can set an alert to inform you when the cheap ones go on sale.

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    I agree he could have done more to root out antisemitism in the party (although again I think this is largely a myth - didn't the official investigation find it was almost non-existent?). He certainly should have been more unequivocal when he was questioned about it, and this did him no favours.

    Would you have voted if you lived in North Islington?

    Hence why he said we are not rejoining the EU. I think any sensible economic policy not fuelled by ideology would want a good trading relationship with our nearest partners so difficult to see what Reform could object to. Their main motivation is to stop immigration, which is a different issue.

    Didn't Jews for Labour speak up for Corbyn? There was never any real evidence he was antisemetic - it was something that was used to destroy him. Anti-Israel for sure, but he isn't a racist. I don't think 49% of voters in North Islington (an incredibly diverse area) would vote for him if they...

    It's amazing how relatively far out the polls were. All those millions of pounds to conduct surveys and construct their sophisticated methodologies... The last polls I saw had Labour on 40 or 39% and Reform on 17%. Yet, Labour are on 34% and Reform on 14%. I know the margin of difference isn't...

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    Just got up - but in my defence I was 'still up for Truss'. Difficult night to interpret really - obviously a lot of tactical voting, but people more motivated by kicking out the Tories than inspired by Labour. How would Labour had done if Reform didn't exist?
