    Ah, let them enjoy it. A nice relief from the constant misery for them.

    Is that the pretend jungle where they have internet, phones and two middle aged presenters acting like fourteen year old ;)

    Nope. No reason to. Thinking about why things happen is far healthier in the long run than wailing about things happening. It can't be good to be so miserable, resentful and angry all the time.

    Coming from someone who can't laugh at a bit daft banter I'd say you're either Mr Pot or Mr Kettle.

    I'm neither, we're just at the 690 exit organising a pub to meet the lads, looking forward to the match and chipper as can be.

    I take it you'll be doing your usual and posting on this thread during the match

    When I see some daft banter that's funny I'll let you know.

    This reminds me of the hangers on of a former Labour leader who'd pretend to find his every dull awkward attempt at a joke absolutely sidesplitting. Meanwhile everyone else is asking each other why it's funny.

    As long as the usual dullspects find calling someone a Tory hilarious, who am I to spoil what little fun they obviously have.

    Nothing we didn't already know really. Many will disagree, but our politicians are a problem here. The Home Secretary referring to immigrants coming in as "invaders" just encourages this kind of behaviour in people who are either that way inclined or have mental health issues. They're just stoking the fire under the guise of being "tough" on immigration.

    For all of the talk of being tough, immigration has gone up year on year. We need actual, legal and practical policies that work. Something like immigration needs collaboration with other nations. It's why hard-line rhetoric won't work.

    Actions speak louder than words, problem is we cannot take actions alone.

    The BBC reported on Thursday that Kurdish gangs are running the show using Albanians to find the migrants and get the money from them entitling the Albanian to get free passage.
    It would appear the Kurd's work from Belgium and the Albanians are used in the British drugs trade.
    Very little humanity in all that and tough action is needed but by who

    Here's an example of what I'm talking about -

    https://www.theguardian.com/comment...k-fossil-fuel-prime-minister-in-renewable-age

    90% of the article is whining about the Tories, the other 10% is vague and shows no understanding of the consequences of what he wants to do. Onshore wind is a right **** on and there are some very dodgy people involved. How GB Energy would work when you've got the government setting policy that could directly advantage their own company, who knows. I'd imagine a lot of Shell's profits will go into stopping that happening. If only he'd used the other 90% expanding on the idea he might have worked that out for himself.

    You seem to take that personally....

    ... yet never stop whining about the opposition or mention it when Sunak does exactly that.

    You're at it every day but seem to have zero self awareness.

    I do take it personally. And so should you. Do we need to be told the Tories are ****e? No, we've got eyes and ears. Use the space to tell us what you're going to do, not what the other side are doing.

    It's absolute minimum effort politics. Call the other side names, a one-liner on your own policies. Easy life.

    Absolutely.

    One of them is on the BBC now defending the illegal immigrant crisis, defending Gavin Williamson, Sunak for appointing him and denying all responsibility for the endless mistakes over the last twelve years.

    These are all things that are actually happening now ...

    ... not in the past or two years from now when there's an election, are people not entitled to point them out?

    A little humility and accountability would show the integrity and accountability Sunak boasted about ...

    ... that's why people feel entitled to point it out or 'whining about the Tories' as you keep repeating.

    As I said - we've all got eyes and ears. We don't need Labour telling us what we already know. We need Labour telling us what we don't know - what they want to do, what the challenges are with their plans and how they would solve them.

    Much less effort to just parrot what every news channel's political analysts and pundits say though. You or I could do that.

    There's two years to the next election.

    Look back at the chaos of the last two years.

    How on earth can anyone know what more of a mess the Tories can create?

    We know all about the Tories. We know next to nothing about Labour. But just trust them, they'll be better.

    Like replacing Will Grigg with John Stead because he's better looking.
