    [Football] Women's World Cup

    Pleased the aussies went through. We have a love hate relationship with oz but definitely a hate relationship with France!! (Pretty certain we've never had a war with the Aussies)

    [Albion] Astrid, u ok hun x

    Not sure it really matters if Caicedo ends up at Chelsea because if he does, it will be because they're paying the price we wanted (or even a bit more) and not the price they wanted to pay. I'm with Roberto, Moises who?

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Marx didn't live in the 21st century, he didn't even make it as far as the 20th Century. I haven't read him but I doubt very much he foresaw how capitalism and the global economy would develop the way it has.

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    You're right, it's not up to people to consider what class they are in, that's the job of yourself. So, by your metrics, someone who might be on £200k a year is working class but someone who owns a shop and may clear about £40k profit a year is middleclass. I'm going to stick my neck out...

    I'm sorry but, according the JRG, if they're using their hands or their brains then they are working class.

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Just to point out where I stand, I'm a labour member, I did cancel when Corbyn was leader but rejoined last year. I'm not against the nationalisation of certain services, in fact I'm very much for it, eg Railways and utilities, but quite clearly Corbyn's manifesto was not as attractive to the...

    I'm guessing he's either a student or, like Corbyn, never actually grew out of being a student.

    That's the oddest definition of working class I have ever seen. You singlehandedly have pretty much eliminate the middle classes. Those that own property and have worked hard to get it aren't going to risk losing that by joining a revolution. You can write as much as you like but you're...

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    You make it sound like there's 65,500,000 working class and 500,000 Bourgeois. As an example, in 2017 there were 14.4m households which were owned or were owned with a mortgage. That was about 63% of all households. Then take into account there are many that rent that are not your working...

    Capitalism has to go to be replaced by what? Socialism? The state owning all means of production. Good luck with convincing enough people to vote for that.

    Teaching of divisive left wing philosophies, which ones are you referring to? Guessing they are going to be some sort of inclusivity or diversity type which have got your goat!! If they are, you can bet your bottom dollar that's not at the request of the government.

    Reform take power? A party that have no MPs and only 5 councillors across the entire country!! As for what Labour have done, what do you mean? They've been in opposition for the last 13 years so haven't been in a position to do anything. As for your comment that the Tory party (I assume...

    [Albion] Where is your Albion mojo?

    A 9 for me (allows for for winning the Europa League and being in the CL next season). Not bothered by all the transfer talk, happy to let the club get on with it and whatever will be will be.

    Agree, the extremes on both sides are dangerous however this current period is the first that I can recall of the far right of the conservatives dominating the party as much as this. It'll come home to roost at the next election. Problem for Labour will be if the far left then try to undermine...
