The most odious lot are those on the left with their snarking about this place, I mean the cognitive dissonance of being on the left of politics and effectively piping its white supremacist owner is something to behold

Jake Richards is a dog whistling piece of shit who has no business being in the Labour Party who's done nothing but pander to the racists in his Gammon Central constituency since he was elected......he will absolutely cross the floor at some point to Reform....you heard it here first

Pure fiction....in other news he's giving full throated support and military assistance to someone who's waging war and terror all over the place in order to preserve his liberty and very probably prevent an election....true story

Vividly remember reading about this story in the UK papers, it made all the front pages at the time including ultimately his death, I was 12 at the time and it really impacted me....riposi in pace Alfredino

hyperbolic and inaccurate, the removal was going to affect a tiny minority involving a small amount of money that was being generously offset by a 4.1% rise in state pension, the only scared constituency in this country is media and politicians afraid to slay the sacred cow of coseted pensioners

The bloke's desperately asking to be chinned, if everyone ignores him and he doesn't he'll be annoyed, if somebody does he'll end up chewing concrete....a win win really

I've realised over time it's only me but whenever I hear her name I have a verbal tick which makes me sing cold cold heart a la Elton John in the eponymous name of the song.

"I don't like him but"..."whatever you think of the messenger"...I didn't like Mussolini but he made the trains run ontime, I didn't like Hitler but he was Zero tolerant on crime

They'll probably end up with another Cellino, it's sad there a next to no fan owned clubs aside from CS Lebowski

So now you're resorting to a straw man argument, the media ecosystem is packed to the rafters spewing the narrative opposite to that.

"Other cash incentive businesses" doing a lot of heavy lifting there. How about "crackdown on painters and decorators and other cash incentive businesses".....different narrative framing now isn't it?

I'll ask you the same question, show me an article or politician citing them. I've never visited a TB shop that's not been busy nor didn't have a card option and conversely never paid anything other than cash to white tradesman who think tax are sharp broad headed nails for fixing carpets

Okay point me to a news article or leading political, news media figure wanging on about the proliferation of nail bars and beauty salons......I'll plump up a cushion
comment in response to

Any "proliferation" is down to years of austerity and under investment leaving our high streets to ruin, without these weird places there'd be rows of boarded up shops, there's also dozens of nail bars and beauty salons where I've but nobody ever questions the veracity of these places, wonder why 🤔

I'd rather they governed for and benefited areas that deserve it and Gammonshire should be bottom of the list.

Just said he is equally as culpable, in fact I blame him more than the Glazers, they were just carpetbagging businessmen exploiting a not for purpose financial model, Ferguson knew exactly how ruinous their business plan was but chose to stay silent, then praise them then slag off people like me
comment in response to
post
look up Rock of Gibraltar, his hubris enabled the Glazer ownership and despite his private misgivings on them (to the supporter organisation I was part of) he then went on to double down and openly praise them as they let the club erode from top to bottom......*see boling frog analogy

Just 1 month of broadcast media eschewing "paper reviews" and not letting newspaper headlines predicate their debate/discussion shows and many of them would be teetering on the brink....but we know it's a revolving door of patronage and nepotism so the circle of inadequate journalism is complete

Hee tweet was read over 300,000 times and reposted 950 times...a week later on at least 2 occasions hotels containing asylum seekers were set alight which could have resulted in devastating loss of life, the sentence was/is just, end of story

correct, i had the misfortune of seeing many of her posts for weeks before the offending one and it was an utter sewer of hate

Just a bit, everything from top to bottom (bar Monza) still up for grabs...and obviously with it being italy we don't know if the last game will be next Thursday or Sunday 🫣

And great to see what the Palace ultras group have brought to the atmosphere in a stadium where every other club's supporters can't get one going
