    Appreciate your clarification. However, if it had been made in response to a specific comment you made (rather than you reading it as a 3rd party), you might well have a different perspective.

    So even now that I've clarified the relatively innocuous nature of my original post, you still feel that it merited a response like this? Ok. Despite the claim you make in your second post, I don't believe you interpreted me correctly at all (which, let me add, wouldn't be the first time). The...

    Not really sure what to make of this. I think you might have misunderstood my point. It had nothing whatsoever to do with old Labour, new Labour, futuristic Labour, or any other party specifically. It was regarding people supporting a political party - ANY political party - in the manner they...

    Good for you. Personally, I'm really thankful that I grew out of viewing politics that way, somewhere around my early 20's.

    Have you ever thought of becoming a football supporter? You'd be brilliant at it ;)

    Coronavirus

    There was a major roadworks project near me that sat totally dormant through lockdown. I remember thinking that strange at the time. Surely it was a great opportunity to press on with things like that, where they could be done relatively safely?

    We don't know who the accusation was aimed at, because the poster in question failed to respond to multiple, quite reasonable requests to elaborate on and offer supporting evidence of, his comments. An accusation which, incidentally, I think almost all readers of this thread would have...

    Coronavirus

    Like with many things, there isn't going to be a perfect way of doing it, and this new measurement like all others will produce anomaly cases. But something needed doing to address the UK's counting method - I've said for a long time that it was clear to me that we were significantly...

    Anybody here play snooker?

    Got tickets for the final session of the final in '08 (I saw that as karma for the Spurs ticket office/membership system royally screwing me out of a Wembley ticket that year). Was such a one-sided win for O'Sullivan, me and my mate spent the afternoon in a hotel in sheffield willing Ali Carter...

    To whom are you referring, and what have they done in your opinion that makes them bullies?

    Couldn't agree more. I was brought up in a household that was as staunch-labour as they get, my father was a party member and activist. Once I developed the ability to think for myself and began to move politically, one of the (several) issues that helped me along the way was this very point -...

    You're making yourself look a total idiot, mate.

    And reading comments like this, you can see why politics has become as polarised as it has.

    Coronavirus

    A symptom of the hysterical, 24 hour rolling news age - strong governments, in this sense are a thing of the past I fear.

    Coronavirus

    Agree on this, it is pretty much the point I made yesterday - we had a much shallower and longer decline than others. What was the reason for that? However it is termed, I can only think it was strongly influenced by insufficient strength of/adherence to the lockdown. My memory is that it held...

    Even without Ferguson's intervention, do you think our government would've withstood the media pressure that would have come from going the Sweden route? I doubt it somehow.

    Do you think Ed even tried to conceal his delight when he wrote that tweet?

    I'd have expected this to have found more support among remainers - it would at least be (closer to) respecting EU law.

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I don't know the details but from half-listening to the news, it sounds like the exam board blanket-downgraded the teachers estimated grades to, I presume, something more realistic. Of course that was very unpopular, and everyone went hysterical about it. So the government stepped in and they've...
