Ed Miliband remains one of the more impressive and capable politicians in our country. Look at the pygmies in our right wing parties if you doubt it! That's why the RW press go after him so hard. In turn that's why he has become your bete noire! I think the phrase "nut (sic) zero zealotry" is deeply, deeply weird. What do you want: more fossil fuels? Less renewables? More emissions? No ambitions to improve things for the future? Really?! Can you explain yourself, as I'm all ears. I wonder which countries have the cheapest energy? Spoiler: as covered previously on this thread, it isn't those most reliant on fossil fuels... Do you think being so dependent on importing gas is a good thing in our changing world? And don't give it the "drill more in the North Sea" argument without being able to explain *how* that will help in any meaningful way at all! Gut instinct isn't enough: anyone with expertise is absolutely clear that the North Sea is *not* the answer. The policies being pursued by the government are a step in the right direction, but they clearly do not go far enough or quickly enough. As for pollution, look at the positive impact of ULEZ extension on emissions and air quality. The zealots we should be concerned about are those lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry, coupled with politicians desperate for donations and/or attention from the crazies in the US.

While I don't feel as strongly against Vichai's statue as others, I'd note a few things on recent posts: - "Khun Vichai" feels uncomfortable to me. I get it's being used as a mark of respect, but with respect we are not Thai and our connection to Vichai was distant at best. (Did anyone on this forum ever have a chat with him?) - The bit about doing things in the community *is* to be applauded, but it gets overplayed. Clearly effective PR. I wonder if KPs donations to the community continue at present? If not, that could suggest the early donations were simply a way of building a positive profile for previously unknown (and untrusted) owners rather than making a *sustained* commitment to our community. If the donations have continued, fair do's - We have no other statues outside the ground, not even to Vardy - Do any other clubs have statues of their owners, let alone in the most prominent location? - My recollection is that the purging of pre-KP history from our ground moved at pace under *Vichai*, to the point where there is next to nothing left On reflection I see no reason to remove the statue altogether, but I do see why others find it uncomfortable. Despite the vibe, our ground is NOT a mausoleum; ownership is transient. It's the kind of thing that supporter's groups could consult on in the future: should it be moved?

Yes, it is. Extremely weird

Huh, this is a weird take

I'd ask Pearson what to change, and do it

How in God's name can our shower win a game let alone a competition

Just adding my appreciation for Pipes. Heart is in the right place

Brainwave...can we introduce Jon to Jodie?! (Sorry YOTF that is SO inappropriate)

I want that sh1tstain Orban gone soooo much. Counting on Hungarian friends to kick him into touch

We all know deep down that KP want out, but they're snookered by our debts and terrible league position. What comes first? Cut their losses and run, or wait for administration?

Can't argue with Rose, lovely chap and would crown a great career. If he's in the hunt I'll be roaring him on

From Rudkin to this, who'd have thunk it?

Thank you for giving me a laugh. Appreciate the gallows humour of folks on this site at this absolutely f*****g s***e time. (Reckon Netanyahu and Trump push Rudkin close, but sorry for bringing the tone down. Yeah, on reflection Rudkin (and Top) lowest of low)

We're all Team Rory amirite

Proud to stand alongside you, soldier

It's always war analogies with these folks

The away terrace is like the old east stand without seats. Old skool!

I remember the odd crazy saying how awful the Championship was, and how they expected us to be promoted a la Enzo season. Most of us knew differently. Like many others I feared a relegation battle was much more likely. Scary thing is I see *nothing* in our club to expect anything other than a struggle in L1. Seriously, most of our fairies will not know what has hit them. How are we going to recruit extensively to see a different outcome?

What do you mean by your last line?

The football annoyed me while driving. And while eating, doing jobs, sh1tting and everything else

What do you value in a match-going supporter? I'll take "loyalty" and "backing the lads" as a given

If you were to look at what is needed to get out of L1, we have *precisely none* of it

How will this happen? Are they going to score an OG for spot-fixing purposes?
