The premier league has a couple of usurpers. Sports washing is a disease thatās eats from the inside out and destroys the integrity of the competitions. Itās why I as a season ticket holder and fan of 50 years is proud of my club #LFC

No problem and just to add, not all #LFC fans hold this view. Everyoneās entitled to think what they like but many feel let down and for the reasons stated, I think theyāre entitled to. When all said and done, he moves on, so does the club.

it was to win the ballon dāor, he was focused on individual awards. Background to this was an unsigned contractā¦.Heād already decided to join RM. He could (and should) have just been honest. I donāt begrudge him, many donāt but for good or ill, for the fans loyalty and integrity matters. He blew it.

Well, itās complicated but at the heart of it is how heās managed his departure, or rather how his brother(agent) has. He was always clear about wanting to captain the club and be a one club man, a statement a couple of years ago. Then at the beginning of this season his stated ambition changed ..

Your post starts well, you ādonāt get itā, you then start comparing the situation to other clubs. I humbly suggest, if you donāt get it, probably best not to comment. Oh, and no one has suggested he canāt be allowed to leave.

Keep trying. Maybe show your face, thatād be funny.

Heās creative between the lines, has an eye for goal and works extremely hard to win the ball back. He links play exceptionally well. Iād say heās perfect for #LFC. Reminds me a little of Firmino.

Heās in the elite category of footballers. There arenāt many.

āThree of us up thereā. What a joker. The only league that matters to fans is the one the team plays in. Bud.

No, my point is that your position and tone is one of separation and protection. I agree, the EU has a right to protect what it has established. The UK did this with the EU but the prospect of realignment will grow ever distant if you fail to find commonality, nurture that instead of adversity.

Well, I think the world needs people prepared to work together not apart. I speak from the PoV of an ardent remainer who benefits from EU citizenship through my Irish heritage. As an educator, I hope this exchange helps you reflect.

Do you live in the UK? I do and like all countries, it is vulnerable to the right wing press. The general consensus is that the electorate were lied to in the Brexit referendum. If you donāt understand the core issue of voter manipulation then the UK wonāt be the last country/bloc to fail.

With respect, your view is entrenched in separation and not in the spirit of collaboration. Maybe derived from the mean spirited Boris Johnson and evangelicals like Farage. They dont represent the majority in the UK. We all need to move on.

Just need the moderates to step up. I like Ed Davey but heās got a great opportunity to create space between the Labour/reform right wingers. Needs to really start using it.

Theyāre petrified of having the sensible conversation/argument about the benefits of immigration. Until they drop that bomb, theyāll continue slipping away.

Also, it would be interesting to know how many voters in these areas base their national vote on the state of their locality. A Reform fail could be bad for government.

Voted Labour all my life. Not any more.

After stuffing for 14 years under the Tories, I was delighted to vote Labour. 9 months on, Iāve no idea what they stand for. The only certainty is that now they wonāt get my vote. Iām pro Europe so the Lib Demās it is.
comment in response to

I think thatās fair. Labour do repeat the red lines but a headline of the manifesto was to increase growth. Thatās what theyāll be measured on and unless they are decisive, theyāll fail. Itās politics.
comment in response to

Their challenge is to hasten it. It begins with a show of intent and goodwill to negotiators. A clear and unambiguous strategy on this wins votes immediately. Whether thatās enoughā¦? Labour are straddling multiple horses. Reform arenāt and they know their market has a cap.
comment in response to
post
If Labour want to battle it out with Reform for the right leaning vote, whatās their plan to make people lives better? if theyāre not prepared for a fundamental tax reform then it has to be growth and in the time they have left to implement change and realise benefits it is SM access.
comment in response to

They have to be more honest about whatās holding the country back, single market access.

Reminded of an experience in NY in the early 90s. We were in a Manhattan youth hostel canteen, in trooped a group of young people from a southern state. They walked in military style, ate in silence and left as one when given permission. I was genuinely shocked. They were not of independent mind.

Dreadful.
comment in response to

True. You make a good point, everyoneās experiencing life differently and that gives a sense of unfairness. The country is divided and no one agrees how to bring it together. IMO #brexit broke this country. We took for granted the benefits of a single market on pretty much everything.
comment in response to
post
I think their approach is growth. That can only happen if they breakdown the barriers with trade to the EU. Unfortunately it will take time both to implement and for the benefits to be realised. Fear it will then be too late.

As long as the media only ever covers immigration as the primary issue affecting many people in this country, the far right will grow. I think itās quite simple.

That heās so adamant is the reveal. He, like his followers believe only what they want to, despite fact and evidence to the contrary. Heās a fact bomber.

Then itās very difficult to say what will happen. The only certainty would be an uncontrolled escalation of war. /end

ā¦At this point Europe will be more involved in the war and with a now a more reliable US supplementing an active European force, Russia will be overwhelmed. Important during that time that Europe/UK maintain strong relations with China re trade etc otherwise š±. If however the US changes sides 2/

Thanks for bringing this together Steve. Russias view of the conflict is so far from the rest of Europes. Question is whether the US walks away or changes sides? If they walk away, war will continue but end when the balance of power in the US flips back mid terms?ā¦.1/

More of this. He backed down because he had to, now China can mock him without worrying about retaliation. In the UK we would describe his position as āsnookeredā.
