What’s all this bollocks, from the likes of Sir Edward Leigh, that Keir Starmer disgraced himself by not being magnanimous to poor old Boris as he steps down?

When has Boris ever reciprocated? Have they forgotten that he’s not some wonderful statesmen stepping down out of good will? He had to be dragged out of the position after many scandals involving lying. He has previously directed false jibes at Starmer over Saville, and his allies expect Starmer to be kind? It’s pitiful.

The right love lecturing on how the left must be civil towards them, to understand why they arrive at their positions, and not call them nasty Tories. Fair. However, they do love hurling abuse at leftists, accusing them of being wretched, but expect civility in return. They love to shout “get over it, snowflake” when they lambast the left with bullish language, but when the left respond, they’re crying at how mean the left is.

Those women should accept that an embryo is more of a person than they are. :-(

“In the past week, an Ohio abortion clinic received calls from two women with ectopic pregnancies — when an embryo grows outside the uterus and can’t be saved — who said their doctors wouldn’t treat them.” https://t.co/oAIxmoNm0w

The Republicans don’t give a damn about women, and these doctors are behaving like this through grounded fear of criminal investigations.

I expect it can be cut and paste from last year. More bluster from him about fans needing to turn up, covid making things hard, promises about us being able to compete, lowering expectations and he’s seen the lads in training and he knows they have learned the lessons from previous years, which they definitely won’t make again.

On a side note, when are we getting those chats with former players SST suggested a while back? :-)

[Siderite]

Not music, but I have been watching a public service announcement by awaywego. :-)

I was speaking to some Indians last weekend about politics and Sunak came up. They were saying that his wife is known to be very corrupt in India. I know that we shouldn’t judge him on his spouse, but it does make me wonder how integral he is, especially with the underhand shenanigans of the Johnson government.

Anyway, from speaking to these Indians my thoughts on Indian politics was solidified further in its precarious and worrying state. We should be thankful that our system isn’t that bad, which is precisely why we should demand rigour from our government, regardless of party affiliation. This is why the excuses, whatabouting and dismissals from Tories about Johnson and his colleagues has been infuriating and concerning.

Of course they would, it’s essentially a different sport. Women can’t reach the same physical capabilities as men, so trained male athletes will always have an advantage, and can win on that alone.

Watched him being interviewed on so many tv programmes telling us lie after lie, unless of course the BBC paid him load of Dosh to beef his life story up a bit for tomorrows documentary, give me Swanny any day not told as big a porkies as Mo.

Yes, it’s totally reasonable to want to punish the victim in all this.

Definitely a good professionally made promo video,wonder if any of the people in it were actual Accrington fans? Are you someone Deerey who just reads the headlines of a story but not the whole article? Even at my first viewing I could see all the diversity

So what? They are just trying to show that everyone is welcome there. How does this impact you?

All this bellyaching about people in a video, because they aren’t white men, is very PC in mindset.

[Siderite]

True. My comment was directed towards the few who have complained, not those like Pat. :-)

Bunch of snowflakes upset by people appearing on a video clip. :-)

Of course if we didn’t have any racists, sexists and homophobes we wouldn’t have any political correctness.

Political correctness is annoying when it prevents people from being able to discuss anything, or occasionally find humour in life, even in satire (not speaking about Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown here). However, rainbow laces, women’s days and the like are no issue and it is bizarre people get so irritated by attempts at making others feel welcome, especially when said people haven’t been in the past.

How do these things affect others in any way? Awaywego doesn’t have to wear rainbow laces, but it might make a gay man or lesbian woman feel accepted after decades of not being. I am just as weary of people getting offended by these things as I am people getting offended by a Ricky Gervais joke. No-one cares about your offense.

God forbid women complain about misconduct. That’s the real problem, not the misconduct itself! :-)

Tuned in the other night and I was shocked to hear Jonathan Pearce commentating, given it’s only women allowed on there, according to some. :-)

Here’s some philosophical questions Siderite – do you think attitudes like mine are not helping matters? If yes, and I changed my attitude to be more accommodating to folk with right wing views and swinging voters who go for personality, would that help matters?

It would stop them being able to argue that Labour supporters are patronising and elitist towards the voter base, yes.

While it’s less important for you, this kind of attitude is displayed by Labour activists, at times, and that is worrying.

[Siderite]

Plenty of clever people have fallen for nonsense when it suits them. :-)

We might not like their choices, some of it may be ill informed, but they are the voting public. To win them over we need to be empathetic to their concerns, without being swayed to unjustified positions.

[Siderite]

I wonder what BPG tells those who wear clothes of mixed linen and wool? :-O

[Siderite]

Let’s not get too snobbish about it. I don’t like Johnson, but his supporters bought his style. If we want a unified country, we need to appeal to many who could stomach him. I don’t think all who voted for the Tories are too far gone to be won over. :-)

I would also tell a murderer that murder is against God’s law also.

How exactly is homosexuality like murder? One harms another, one harms no-one.

Cretinous take.

They were crowing when that deal went through and expected us to believe they wouldn’t then turn on it and say it wasn’t true Brexit. X-)

Boris, famously lazy, has fight. Only for his own skin. :-)

Yep the guy is a disgrace and this pathetic repeat assertion from his supporters that there is nobody else in the Conservative party good enough to replace him is absolute tosh. If the Tories can’t find a suitable replacement from within their vastly experienced ranks to replace that toe rag, then they should disband the party and leave politics forever. Quite preposterous.

So many do not understand that we are a representative democracy. We had the same bollocks about mandates with Corbyn. The public vote for their local MP. The party who can form a majority has a mandate to rule, but this isn’t for the leader of the party, whose mandate extends to their own constituencies only.

If his supporters don’t like it, they’re free to lobby for changes to our democratic system. :-) Instead, they will whine about not getting what they want, because of their own ignorance.

He’ll need to have it verified with BPG to make sure it’s the true gospel. None of this lukewarm CoE stuff! :-)

Please no. :-)

The “this is about state rights” excuse is a pitiful excuse to make it look legitimate in its motive. It is a clear attempt to shoehorn what they want through.

[Siderite]

I find that rather moot, when we know the motivation. Those same people arguing that it is actually about state rights denied gun laws to be state based, so I am not convinced by their dedication to constitutional legalities. :-)

Oops

I am not so much surprised, more appalled. :-)
