There is a lot in fairness. People assumed a change of government would mean everything would change immediately.
People don't understand that the Tory failures on "small boats" and decision to house them in hotels is something Labour inherited and takes time to stop and change. We had a hotel used here, and people are hysterical about it from day one, repeating lies and far right propoganda etc.
The infrastructure is a mess. You see people berating Labour MPs from everything to potholes, to public transport and after years of it they're not blaming the old regime.
Farage and his ilk seem to focus on ragebait and talking points away from the government policies. So every time Labour do something, they are then drawn into an argument about something else. The fact he gets a disgusting amount of media coverage for someone so small in the scale of parliament doesn't help. Every news story needs a Far Right perspective "for balance" it seems and Labour simply don't shut him down.
If they went on the attack instead of appeasement they'd look a lot stronger in my opinion and shape discourse much better around the more grown up issues.
Brexit has caused everyday life to become more and more expensive and things only go up in price. Fear of offending the idiots who voted for it is another example of playing to the fringes. Instead we have all the problems and costs, and no one is prepared to say it needs reversing. Especially when war and supply lines threaten us in waves and drive the economic pressures.
Lastly, not going after the rich. If Labour had said we are stopping fuel allowance for those who don't need it, we are taxing farms which aren't economically beneficial to the country but the tax dumps of land barons, you wouldn't have got them being trounced by simplistic slogans and emotional manipulation.
They can't afford another U-turn even if it's justified. People are being whipped up into frenzies and Labour aren't calming the waters, they're just tryin to wait out the noise and getting hit by the next thing. |

Not really. We have the same colours essentially. I think the lack of white and red trim in recent kits possibly doesn't help. |

There have been some bad faith reporting, bad decisions and some bad communication all compounding the weaknesses of this government. However, it's worrying that they are in a position where they need quell rebellion in a majority that's seemingly so large as to be unmanageable for them.

What worries me about this, is that the Israeli government, the weapons manufacturers and pro-Israeli lobbies were consulted on this, but not the other side. A quick look into what PA have done in terms of damage makes it hard to justify their criminal damage etc. But it does feel like they're a conflation of criminal into terrorist and I don't understand the justification fully.
Given the current appetite for "but what about them?" it does boggle the mind that Reform and the like weren't proscribed after Southport etc and makes it look like for a man so passionate and storied in the intricacies of law, Starmer isn't strong enough on it being manipulated here.
Clearly the threat of the media machine behind the Far Right and likelihood of massive unrest and violence that would ensue, makes it hard to envy him making that call. But if a keffiyah is a symbol of extremism then why not a trackie? |

I concur. I’ve ordered the home for the first time in ages - always disappointed when the away kit is bad |

Yep. I don’t really like red shirts anyway but I’d say you’re right. Would have been better if they did the same template |

What was the outcome of that? I seem to remember it was some sort of honey trap/blackmail thing wasn’t it?
Whilst Benjamin mendy had all sorts of fans defending him, it’s interesting to see some Arsenal fans tweeting disgust at the club etc.
It’s always so thorny when these incidents happen isn’t it? |

Each to their own. I’ve got a vintage fiorentina shirt in long sleeve and I can’t wear it. Drives me mad having sleeves for some reason - yet I played in goal as a kid |

Nah the home kit looks like it’s the 86 kit and the away one was red for that so I reckon that’s what they’ve gone for |

I’ve been at work, just found it funny you’re in even deeper and still digging. Amazing how you’re always so abusive and personal for such a banter merchant. The fact so many people are laughing at you, isn’t the same as being some sort of victim.
You’re not that special are you? |

Although a former Supreme Court judge was cited on a podcast I was listening to today saying it was totally reasonable and proportionate. Sorry I can’t recall their name but it was on a Slow Newscast about Truss and her lurch to the lunatic far right fringes.
I find the false narrative around her sentence by the right wing revolting too. It basically reveals that she is one of them, and they are all a glass too many of sauv blank away from doing the same is how it reads to me.
The censorship of BV and Kneecap seem to have bolstered them far more than harmed them. I guess Rod Stewart didn’t get censored because his support for mass death and suffering was implicit. |

You're doing it again. Trying to kiss up to admin won't change anything. Maybe if anyone who questioned me was met with abuse and deperation like you've shown, then you'd have a point somewhere in here.
Given again you began all of this, persisted, and can't even back yourself is why you've been made to look a complete mug. Just pretending otherwise doesn't change it does it? I suspect you feel quite terrible behind the screen don't you? |

Who began insulting who exactly? Calling you a liar and hypocrite when you are one isn't insulting you.
I thought you'd have a thicker skin given how you like to dish it out. The fact you can't even keep to your own standards or word is interesting too.
It's almost like you're incredibly insecure and unpleasent isn't it? |
