There isn't a single word I disagree with here. I wasn't demonizing private education, to be clear, but I do think VATing it is an excellent policy. There is no reason why private education shouldn't attract tax and the more people who are in state education, the more likely the country is to...

Although that might be sensible, I'm afraid I don't have time. My advice would be to instead not post a load of shit and then pretend it's a joke.

Yes please

Elphicke's defection was surely only about making political capital at that moment in time. She wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a constituency where Labour have half a chance even if she wanted to.

Not a very funny one. How anyone can lump in Starmer with that irritating pigmy as if they are two cheeks of the same arse is totally beyond me. One went to Harrow, spends more than an average nurses salary heating his swimming pool, has had his snout in the trough and has wasted billions on...

There's a difference between not saying they will raise taxes and specifically ruling it out. I'm slightly annoyed they did the latter. But I'm more annoyed at the double standards of the press that demand they do exactly that. When the Tories produce a manifesto, it's rarely worth the paper...

I am curious to see what they do when they have difficult decisions to make, although there is a lot of low hanging fruit that can be picked before it gets to that. Improving trade relations with the EU, and taxing private education are two excellent, sensible policies but stuff like that won't...

My brothers and I are all football mad, although the black sheep of the 4 of us is a Southampton fan. However, what saddens me is that neither of my two sons are interested at all. Well, that's not quite true - my eldest doesn't mind it when he comes and will happily come to Albion games with...

Bit of a cheek a Tory type has when demanding detail. In 2019, the Tory manifesto was paper thin, with literally NO costings at all. They won a 80 seat majority (and then obviously made a mess of the country). My favourite bit of zero Tory detail was the bit where Liz Truss took over...

Ticks all the boxes: Once half decent, now crap. Horribly expensive. Cast-off from a successful big club. A perfect Everton signing. I'm sure it'll all be "corruption" when they are found to have broken FFP rules again in 3 years after about 15 similar piss-poor signings though. :thumbsup:

No. It'll be someone 90% of us have never heard of.

Obviously it always holds true to buy what you can afford in the best area, rather than the biggest house in a shit street, but I'd say the trick is to find an area that is artificially/wrongly considered a lesser area, ideally one that is on the way up. For example, often areas are expensive...

But you can't be in favour of any sort of play off system if you want it all decided on the end of season table really. I think the playoffs in any league are a way of keeping meaningless games to a minimum. A necessary evil in the professional era. At least there is some merit in the Belgian...

So some people who like Potter don't like RDZ? I suppose so, but that's not remotely the same thing as what you initially wrote and certainly represents a tiny minority of our fanbase. Such a small section in fact that I don't see why you mentioned it in the first place. Most people I know...

No. Leeds were miles better than Saints, so where's the justice there? Well as with Belgium, all teams know the rules before the season starts. To be fair, I don't dislike the Belgian play off system. I think it's quite innovative. I mean yes, USG have arguably been robbed, but they've lost...

This is utter shit, and I'm not the first to point this out. No way am I Potter in. Potter is yesterday's man, said some irritating things about the club when we were VERY patient with his long winless streaks and tedious inability to do anything with the ball in the final third. But in the...

Nobody is arguing at Leeds' six point deduction "for being too good" compared to Southampton.

This weekend: Man City didn't win yet another trophy Chelsea got demoted to the Conference League Newcastle missed out on Europe altogether Leeds in division 2 again. Portsmouth confirmed as the South Coast's worst team AGAIN while missing out on a derby next year. I can think of worse...

We're not though are we? Anyway, Saints for me. Best man at my wedding supports them, as does one of my brothers. I used to live and work in the area and had plenty of colleagues and friends supporting them down the years. Also I've been in the home end following the Albion and they were...

I'm quite literally decorating our spare room. But at least there's nothing on the telly.
