  1. A notable moment that the Caribbean Carnival has been cancelled for 2024.
  2. Souttar was a ball playing defender. Very good passer.
  3. Ashworth announced as new head of Labour thinktank. I hope he continues to live and base himself out of Leicester, we will need him.
  4. Ultimately I am more concerned about the club’s identity and heritage off the pitch, rather than on it. If we’re rubbish, we’re rubbish and I’ll still go along every week as it is Leicester City. But the changes to the club, the worshipping of a business that owns the club, are putting me off. I mitigate some of these issues, with the notion that Leicester City would never be the same club that I started supporting as a 7 year old in 2002 because of the success we’ve had, and the general globalisation of the sport during this time. I want to continue actively supporting a Leicester based club and have decided to get a Tigers season ticket for this upcoming season. I have hated Leicester Tigers in the past, the fan base demographic is not representative of this city and supporters are more likely to be found in rural Norfolk, than Saffron Lane. However, I’ve decided to give it a go, simply because the team has Leicester in the name and is seemingly grateful for my 400 quid. Apart from joining a fans group, unfortunately I have no motivation in helping to pressure this football club at the moment. Football is broken and I think I need a break from really caring at the moment(I will keep my season ticket for the upcoming season, hypocritical yes). Kudos and respect to all those who are doing so at the moment.
  5. Not horrific but not sure how well a striker does in that Millwall side.
  6. Any idea of the fee range? I know it’s listed as undisclosed but hopefully you’ve received at least a decent 6figure sum.
  7. Presume he’s not with the squad today as the school holidays haven’t begun yet.
  8. Christmas, July… get in the bin
  9. Maidenhead getting about 4 million knock down from the Kilman deal.
  10. Choudhury could live in Leicester, he works here. But he chooses Nottingham. His opinion is irrelevant.
  11. If Choudhury loved the city so much, he’d live here rather than in Nottingham.
  12. The biggest disappointment for me regarding Starmer was that he didn’t acknowledge the local authority funding crisis, across the country. I personally don’t view the finances as Soulsby’s fault. But that’s a debate for another day. However, the city’s leaders, whether that be MP’s, councillors and unelected officials, always paint this city as a great place to live because of its diversity. In truth it should be because it makes the city far more interesting and I am a believer in multiculturalism enriching lives. Nonetheless, this city is so incredibly poor at the moment, we are also seeing unofficial lines where only certain communities will live and the huge riots/fighting issues that happened in the Autumn of 2022 have not been addressed. Last night was an opportunity to show the incoming government that we’re ready to improve, instead we have about 10 dividing candidates in Leicester East and a protest vote about a matter that is not only irrelevant to many within its constituency but I bet they haven’t even heard of. -The point is, I believe this city is fractured!
  13. Well he won’t have time for that now, as he looks to serve the people of Saffron Lane and Eyres Monsell.
  14. What did he do prior to this? What’s his background?
  15. Very sad, the Leicester West boundary goes up to the Freemen’s Meadow complex and stops at the Soar.
  16. Some of Aykestone moved into Leicester West this time around. You have Highfields, Evington and part of St Matthews in Leicester South.
  17. As someone whose family has hosted Palestinian children on exchanges within this city, Mr Ashworth was incredibly kind and generous with his time, trying to understand the issue. He was sympathetic and that’s what makes me sad about this.
  18. It depends if you define it as Genocide but I realise that discussion will derail this topic. It’s a surprise and I take your points on board!
  19. It shouldn’t be the most salient issue in a constituency in this country.
  20. Why isn’t the same scrutiny on Saudi with Yemen? Regarding this country.
  21. It’s not a salient issue. I don’t agree with the term genocide(I don’t agree with Israel’s current response) But then if others think the same as you, it’s a worry because it’s clearly more important.
  22. Unfortunately, I don’t think Labour did enough in Leicester East. But what has happened in Leicester South should make the country very worried.
  23. The Leicester results are sickening. This city is a worry, most certainly.
  24. I’m Leicester West but feel sick with the Ashworth result.
  25. Ashworth was a good constituency MP and it’ll be a shame if he has lost on a single issue, like that suggested.
