Back in the 90s, around the time that a pundit (Lineker?) grumbled that Wimbledon were that dull to watch that you may as well watch their games on teletext, our group watched Ipswich beat them 2-0 on teletext to test the experience.
Should note that we were also having a piss up at the time, so the game was on in the background.
What do we know about them this season? What sort of football does Ismael favour? I've got it in my head that he plays fairly pragmatic football, but then I may need to recalibrate my definition of pragmatic given a few of our games this season so far!
They lost at home to the budgies, so must be pretty crap, yeah?
Parking the question of who is right or wrong, it is a perfect microcosm of the way that we have all been divided into tribes by the people with hands on the levers of power in recent years. Brexit is the most obvious example here, but there are loads more, and it's very evidently a deliberate ploy to divide populations into things they disagree about rather than unite on the things they agree on. The USA over the last decade is obviously another good example.
I try my hardest not to get sucked in, but it's becoming increasingly hard to just ignore stuff that I find almost upsetting at times.
Think im going to go football only on here for a bit. Which is a shame, as I do value seeing different views to challenge my world view.
Appreciate that this is a bit of a look at me post, but wanted to be able to vent a bit.
This thread feels like an appropriate place to post this, as it gives a good example of why so few people want to vote conservative. What an absolute shambles of a politician, she stands for absolutely nothing at all.
Edit: If you click on the post there are videos of her. So utterly dreadful.
Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?
Starmer and Labour have spent the last 6 months pandering to these people, and in effect encouraging and legitimising it. Hopefully, based on his comments since the weekend, the penny has dropped about what he has basically supported.
None of that means that everything is great, and people are wrong to have concerns about immigration (or anything else), but if you are letting Tommy Robinson and Musk set the tone of the national debate then you have royally fooked things up.
