His save for the disallowed goal was really impressive

You’d think 250+ lead would probably be enough but you never know with us.

Blackburn finishing 6th would be wild considering where they were a few weeks back

Have to feel for Okoli

Would rather us give Evans a start than Monga.

5 wickets for 14 runs. Lads are smashing it

The 2019 election is so fascinating looking back. Corbyn was not the right man, but the message was. He wanted to nationalise the things that now everyone is begging to be nationalised, including the Reform supporters! Meanwhile everything that Boris Johnson promised was a lie. Levelling up, bringing immigration numbers down, it was all a load of BS. Economically Reform supporters and the left are close together.

Where is anybody saying that? Again, the general theme is that everything sucks and we just have different ideas of how to fix it (it can’t be fixed). A lot of people are recognising that not engaging with the issues and calling people racist is an issue.

Went to a couple of t20 games last season and there was a lad to our right near the Gower suite who was talking into something all the way through, giving a running commentary. Had assumed he was doing something for Cricinfo/Flashscore but I’m assuming it was that?

You’re correct, he’ll serve more than his full term 👀

This is one of the issues I have with some other people on the left. They’ll go into bat for hardcore Islamist’s with incredibly conservative values that completely contradict everything that they stand for. It’s nearly always morality over practicality. There’s also some incredibly daft things that happen in this country that leftists keep quiet about. Currently only 42% of British trained junior doctors are getting speciality training because a high percentage of places are getting taken up by more experienced consultants trained and working within the developing world who are happy to do more for less. That to me is insanity and a complete waste of state funding. So there’s arguments to be had. Like it or not, the economy is set up in a way that it requires immigration and cheap labour (hand in hand). Reform will not solve these issues because they’re ultra capitalists who would thrive in the gig economy. So it’s up to the left to make a coherent argument about how we can change the economic model that benefits the many not the few (remember that line).

Please don’t get personal. I enjoy this thread and want it to stay open.

Sadly this place is disappointingly centrist. And I’m pretty sure nobody is calling reform voters thick, everybody knows we’re screwed, we just don’t think that Nigel bloody Farage has the solution.

Planting to shield the ball perhaps?

Glad that wasn’t given a red, clearly a complete accident.

The dreams of 3.30am finishes ended when Selby was knocked out

Feeling smug with my Zhao predictions on pages 10&11.

Zhao fans have just unfurled their tifo, Ronnie fans chanting “where were you when he was banned?”. Virgo on the mic asking for calm in the Crucible…

Who got the stinkers?

I’m with ya

The point is that you have to cut it off at source

Hey, stop that! They’re cutting DEI in your local council building!! That’s real change

Where are you going to lock them up? Prisons are full and we can’t build anything.

Yep but these are problems that Reform are going to make worse not better because they’re for low tax, low wages.

Got the Russians crying though, so every bonus. They exaggerate their role anyway.
