'clearly are going to' is optimistic. They were terrible at Fulham. Only a few defeats away from being right in it

 

They'll get the points they need at home I reckon.

I think carrying a knife should be an immediate 10 year prison sentence. Knife crime continues to rise and it needs tackling with a major deterrent.

Wouldn't say that's unpopular...

Well. Turns out I’m a lily-liveried liberal.

 

Some of these are hard to categorise - ie there’s a difference between someone who’s nicked a bike and someone who won’t stop nicking bikes despite several arrests/warnings, etc. But even so.

Gives us two exciting games in pretty mundane league now. You look for these fixtures as soon as they are out. 

Plus the songs and the history, pretty crap singing wings of an eagle against Brentford at home for example when you could be belting it out against those twats themselves.
 

Also from a UFS point of view its been enjoyable having a dingdong some what with FG. Your rival having a ‘group’ has been excellent. I wan’t more of the same on that.

I want 100% less of that. The whole local rivalry stuff leaves me absolutely cold. Two worst games of the season by a mile.

You're honestly saying you'd rather watch us play Fulham at home than Forest?

100%, without irony, yes.

Seconded.

 

The rivalry is nice for a day, but seeing them floundering in League 1 for years was prolonged joy.  Send them down.

Agree with the above, I was looking forward to an East Midlands derby in the Prem but that enthusiasm soon evaporated.

What does this even mean? Are there countries where the public is pro crime? Like I get it. It's from a right wing publication and they want to feed us the idea that:

 

a) Sending people to prison and for longer is a magical fix.

b) People who think sending people to prison is the way to tackle crime are tougher on crime than those who are not.

c) We ought to determine our policy by direct public consultation.

I’m concerned about the 1% of people that want to send someone to jail for 15 years for not wearing a seatbelt. Then on the flip side, the 18% that don’t want anything under 5 years for rape of a child. 
 

This is why the public can’t be trusted.

I firmly believe that 1-10% of the population should be banned from voting or holding opinions about anything.

Surprised death by dangerous driving isn't on there! That's got one of the worst sentences going... it's effectively manslaughter and should carry 12 years minimum for me.

Was just about to post this, actually laughed out loud when I saw the 1% at either end of the spectrum. 

 

Surely they are either taking the piss or didnt understand the question.

You’d like to think so, however we’ve all seen how dodgy some of the voting has been in the last 10 years!

I can’t work out if you’re appealing your lenient sentence or volunteering to serve other people’s.

The Germans needed to defeat the RAF and failed. There is a major doubt they could have protected their invasion barges from RN. 

There is NO WAY the Germans would have got across the channel while the RN was asleep...

And even if they did, they would have to fight my Wife's Great Grandad, who was at Portland Bill armed with a wooden mockup rifle.

My Uncle managed to get back from Dunkirk with the 1/7 Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment. My Dad was manning a Bofors Gun with the RA at Folkestone. Thank Christ Operation Sealion did not happen.

Well my Grandpa was busy making dehydrated food - they'd never have made their way past him

I find it bizarre that people who oppose young folks being able to access help and/or treatment for gender dysphoria tend to be those types who vote for a party that has trashed young people's education and plunged a huge number of them into poverty. It's almost like their real issue isn't about caring for children.

Harry Kane isn't a football legend, only at Tottenham.

 

The 'football legend' status might change if he, somehow, achieves a trophy triumph.

He will retire as the premier leagues all time top goalscorer. Trophy’s or not that’s some achievement.
