Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

My already militant anti-landlordism has taken a turn this week. Last summer post Liz Truss shit show I had to move house because the landlord wanted to put the rent up by 25%. Had to move out of central London and still pay more than I was. Shit, but that's modern Britain. When making an offer for...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

Bucks Palace sold to developers ? Get a big chunk of social housing on there - Vote winner, mate. I think actually building more prisons and borstal would win even more votes. A referendum on capital punishment would win even more, there is little excuse for innocents being hung now with all the DN...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

Happy birthday, Hobes. I think you're now old enough to vote, mate! :-) :D Too young to bother the state for a pension yet though. Any way, it seems some think 16yo who haven't seen much outside a classroom, let alone a working, setting up home scenario are fully competent (to use some definition) ...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

You see your argument about competence is a distraction and do you seriously think there are 16yo taxpayers out there? My argument is they are mostly absolutely clueless at that age about anything outside of social media and what their mates are upto, throw in a lot of parents who still think littl...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

People with mental health problems should not vote, no matter what age to be fair. Given the attitude of some perhaps five would be an appropriate time to be given the vote because they are setting off on the lifelong course of education and work? No, thought not. I notice the 'give them adult resp...

Oh, and for what it's worth, the stupid idea of conscription by the short pant legged idiot should not be considered either.

Someone please tell me what a old fogie has a clue about what is going on in the world with real issues other than what The Daily Mail tells them? Just as legitimate a gripe. Beg to differ fella.

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

If sixteen is old enough to vote then they are old enough to be treated like adults, I.e. Stop withholding the names of the criminals, adult jail time, stop referring to them as 'children' or in some warped minds, babies. Someone please tell me what a 16yo has a clue about what is going on in the wo...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Or..... Maybe the thought of walking/sacking hasn't crossed either IE's/Sharon's minds, and only exists in a few anonymous internet forummers (is that a word?) & BEN story commenters (another one - is that a word, or is it commentators?) opinions, so nobody feels any form of official statement is n...

I think my favourite aspect of the Gareth Ainsworth suggestion is that one of the complaints about Evatt is he can't adapt his football.

In terms of adaptability to different habitats Ian Evatt is a footballing triffid vs the hoofball Orchid that is Gareth Ainsworth.

Let's get rid of a manager with a reluctance to change his nice football
And hire a manager with a reluctance to change his horrible football

My commiserations to all the hard-core supporters on here, more so the poor buggers faced with a long trip home. I don't watch wanderers games anymore but follow some commentary and posts such as on here, these are a few things that seem to stand out. The manger is a reasonable low league manager wi...

Just when you think politicians can not sink any lower,
