But so many posters on here thought she was the light and if only our gov had followed her lead we would now be in the land of milk and honey. Makes me wonder whether we, the electorate, the people and the nsc political advocates, are the problem rather than the politicians who just can’t win...

What gives you the right to say that those who do not support brexit are not ‘backing the country’? Trying to export, create jobs, build a business that makes a profit so pays taxes etc etc is ten times harder post brexit. That is the reality for many businesses and it has not got easier for...

Yes but also because we have a system (first past the post) that guarantees two parties will always share power over the years and people with integrity and a genuine interest in change will never gain the levers of government. Every election is a two way fight and as such its a closed shop

I think you are insulting or criticising me but im not sure why or whether i have misconstrued your post?!

Which is why I have no faith in any politicians or parties. I will vote Labour for the very reason you state in your opening line, but I have zero hope that it will make any difference to the sewer that is Westminster and the sewage that floods out of it

In fairness, a perfectly reasonable argument that I suspect many would agree with. Other football sites deal with this by making the main forum ‘football related only’. Regardless, massive appreciation to Bozza for having the site available to us at all

A feature of emotive and/or political threads is the habit of some posters to resort to abuse if someone simply disagrees with their POV. I think its one reason why so many post only very occasionally or just ‘view’ but never post. Acknowledging that my post effectively criticised some posters...

It occurs to me that too many posters in this thread have incredibly strong opinions and express total certainty that they are right due to their apparently in depth knowledge and experience of the subject matter. However, this is a Brighton football forum and I doubt many, if any, here are...

Borders have been created and re drawn throughout history and Isreal was far from the only example of massive displacement of people due to winners of war drawing lines on a map. The current generation are not culpable for this and the majority of Israeli and Palestinians want to find a way to...

my favourite memory was Alan Minter giving it large in the centre circle!

Sometimes these RIP posts just feel like an excuse to start a post. So get your sentiment but its harmless.

No. Whilst there are still many with natural Tory sympathies left, polls show that the majority of these want a change of government. But you are right to not think its all a done deal, the NSC echo chamber is not necessarily representative of all voters.

yet your rhetoric is so consistently adamant that they are finished as a (current) political force and are unelectable. To be honest I dislike some of your regular phraseology (and before you say it, I don't expect you to care) but I agree. So I am genuinely interested to know why you have doubts

Really?

Don't worry about it. Simply another nail in their coffin come the next election

i am old enough to remember the pre de nationalised days but as we grew up without gas or mains water and only electric from your list, my main memory is of blackouts and power cuts due to strikes. The state run trains were pretty hopeless then as they are now in private ownership but ‘state...

Respectfully, I think you miss my point. The labels, IMHO, are meaningless because they are just labels. Corbyn was a left wing politician (by UK standards) but was essentially anti the EU which is considered a right wing stance. Cameron was clearly what we would call a right wing politician but...

My main takeaway from this is the old labels of left and tight are redundant and pretty meaningless. Perhaps if we all recognised this and stopped spending most of the time engaged in political name calling just because we dont agree on a specific issue, we might achieve worthwhile change and...

It feels a bit wrong to agree with you in this current heat of the moment, but i think you are right. Two wrongs certainly don’t make a right but there is invariably too much sanctimonious judgemental opinion in the media and social media these days when i’m not sure any of us have led blameless...
