May's electioneering strategy reminds me of Alan Durban's legendary managerial tactics with Stoke City circa 1980. Turn up, park the bus and hope nothing happens for ninety minutes (in May's case, six weeks).
Corbyn has an air of last season's Ranieri about him. Only difference is Ranieri...
Thanks everyone.
I've been asked to perform 'Goldstone Ghosts' on the pitch on Saturday about 5pm. An absolute honour. Better watch the beer intake before that ;)
37% on here for the Tories. Par vote for them. Similar to what they would get nationally I'd say (though it may be a bit more since UKIP is over) and under our ludicrous electoral system enough for a majority again. If Labour, Lib Dems and Greens had any sense they'd select the candidate with...
Well done everyone at Build A Bonfire at Komedia last night. Absolutely FANTASTIC. Here's the poem I started with - the sequel to 'Goldstone Ghosts'
FROM HEREFORD TO HERE
With sheer determination
Without a hint of fear
We made the noise which brought the boys
From Hereford to here.

The bankers caused the crisis in 2008. Let them pay for it. And people voted for Brexit despite dour economic forecasts, which proves they don't care what the City says anyway. Screw the casino bankers' gambling deficit. Decent elderly & hospital care, decent schools, minimum wage of £10, end...

Go away, Theresa May
Kick her out now, Theresa May
How she got there I don't know
How she got there I don't care
All I say is Tories go away
Jeremy, Jeremy
We're the famous Brighton & Hove Albion and we're voting Jeremy*
*(some of us) :)
Stoke away, Stoke away
In the Premier League, Stoke away
How we get there I don't know
How we get there I don't care
All I know's we're playing Stoke away
