I think this one of the more balanced posts on this thread. Peace will only ever be possible when everyone on both sides of the argument basically understands and accepts what you have written. It was this acceptance that made peace in NI possible.

Everything about this conflict is horrendous and innocents will only stop dying when a John Major/Mo Mowlam finds a way of bringing both sides to the peace table. In the meantime there is not a single aspect of this saga to 'rejoice' about. I get much of my limited 'knowledge' on the history...

👏 As you clearly have an insight not shared by any of the media or anyone on nsc, could you please tell me now who we are going to sign, who is going to depart and if it’s not too much to ask, where in the table we will end next season? I can then enjoy the summer in a way that I never have...

Was that a school for sailors and convicts only?😂

In fact how do you know McKenna was even considered? The club have said nothing whatsoever about who they are or aren't considering and everything including Potter, Mckenna, Huzela, Cooper, Kompany et al has been entirely media and social media speculation.

Sorry, not quite what I meant. I just find it disturbing how the subject seems to prompt, sometimes vociferous, debate as to whether x view or y person is anti semitic or not in a way that no other form of discrimination or intolerance does or would be considered acceptable. That's not just on...

Racism, intolerance, and bigotry is wrong. There is no latitude or grey area. I am shocked how some on this thread (and other threads have gone the same way) appear to believe the opposite when it comes to anti semitism and in a way I don’t think they would countenance if the topic was about...

You just can’t help making a political comment at every opportunity can you? I will be relieved for you when the GE is over and you can relax!😂

Gillian Keegan for me - no better!

Cut and paste this from Sky news: Sir Keir Starmer has said "wealth creation" is his top priority in an election pitch to the middle class and middle ground. "The first step of my Labour government will be to create economic stability, which means getting a grip of the spiralling welfare bill...

Mmmm.... The media and political 'experts' said precisely the same thing when Johnson and Co were elected (without the max).

I’m changing my view of Starmer from being thoroughly uninspired to gradually seeing he has a quiet determination to shape labour into a party that will not only win this GE (the easy bit) but future elections. Like Blair, he recognises that Britain is predominantly centrist and that is where...

Did he win many games? 😂

Popped in on this thread to learn a bit about Steve Cooper. Pretty pointless so far. Any chance of getting back to the topic?! So, regardless of whether you think RDZ, Mullery, Potter, Steve Gritt or Brian Clough was our greatest ever manager, could Steve Cooper do a job??

Is that really true?! If so, genuinely shocked and a very well made point

I'm quite intrigued by the part of this thread discussing tests or qualifications to vote (regardless of age). I am not sure that any such thing would be practically possible but changes to the school curriculum could be. It would be hard to remove political bias but a compulsory subject...

Sorry, was not having a go at you or trying to make it part of our little debate! I agree with both your points above too. Its a good topic to debate, like so many on here. I'm not a regular poster , more of a regular reader, and one reason for this is the number of times a potentially good...

Regardless of one's view on the topic, some of the anti 'older voters' rhetoric is unpleasant; 'Stiffs', 'one foot in the grave', 'senile old farts in their dotage' etc. I think we all hope to make it to a ripe old age and not be considered irrelevant or worse. Every single person here would...

But in my constituency I don't get any sort of say because the Tory candidate will always win, even this year. What I would like is a parliament with MPs from a range of different parties that reflect the political views of the whole electorate on the day of the GE. If I voted Green then my vote...
