When im ready to i shall lay it all out there.

I maybe should keep my temper under control but honestly things are worse than ANYBODY could imagine.

The list of things deemed unacceptable will astound most people. Yes even some OTR.

The issue i have is why, after knowing what i now know, is a certain other forum owner not getting a knock?

Even the people i have spoken to regarding prosecutions cànnot believe that the hanging female Tories from lampposts was never "investigated".
They are more shocked when i tell them it was posted by the 1 single person who reported me to the police!!...

Sad to hear, Ken.Stay strong.

But all of you lads need to remember you could be stood next to this bloke at the bar before matches. You could even be sat near him at the game.

Just watch what you say around strange faces.

I have no choice Nosmo. Nothing left too loose tbh.
Its whether i have the "ambition" to start all over again.

Just hard getting my head around the fact that i can never work in the sector i loved ever again now. Back to washing pots for min wage it looks like.

All because i would not be bullied by a cowardly half a man......

Back to the subject....

Is it wrong to feel this election wiĺl be mostly contested on a Gaza ticket?

Is it wrong to think that all of a sudden on July 5th a lot of "issues" will suddenly disappear? (A la foodbanks in Boro?).

Is it wrong to feel glad that im in the backend of my life now and not an 18yr old?.

Is it wrong to feel a total lack of faith in ANY political party currently?.

I see the bullying across the road has started. That laughing gadge who doesn't live around here and earns a fortune (he likes to tell people) calling people shills etc for having another opinion.

His opinion is usually bollocks, he said labour obviously knew this was coming hence the crap performance at PQs yesterday, labour this morning "we had no idea"

Nice knowledge  :rick:

See that sadgit who has depression isssues has posted "there all the same" I bet no one person pulls him up like they would anyone else who posted it.

BoroRedKen

Even as a former staunch Tory i accepted "defeat" months and months ago.
What is there to crow about? Its an election on July 4th and a Labour Gov on July 5th.

Mind you the Labour Party has a few splits to seal up 1st before they take power.

Election was announced yesterday, I'm on a different continent....and I'm already sick of hearing about it

At least the Euro's kick off in a few weeks

It's great when there's a footy tournament on during the summer

Tory will be stop the boats.
Labour will be we're not Tory.. but can do Tory.

I don't think foodbanks will be going any time soon. No one should have faith in ANY political party.. they are supposed to be democratically elected representatives that serve our best interests.

and none of the fuckers do.

BoroRedKen

The foodbank bits are just pointing out that the appeals from elsewhere were not every home game once a Labour mayor took over. I also have an issue with the Trussel Trust. A ceo on 105k a year? 7 years ago the TT released a statement of sorts that they wanted a foodbank in every town, registered and overseen by themselves. It just makes me suspicious.

Surely no charity should be self governed? It has to be independently governed. Or am i wrong? 🤔

I would think that all charities are self governing. We shouldn't need charities if things were done right in the first place.

I hope Labour really have learnt lessons from the past in that a real campaign isn't about telling us how shit the Tories are but actually highlighting the major issues this country has to tackle - NHS, Education, Immigration, Housing, Local Councils etc etc etc - and how they plan to deal with them.

The Tories will spin that things are improving, let them get on with that as most sensible people know it's easy to improve from a position of an absolute shitshow that it has been and won't be fooled by them.

Nah, no lessons learned from Labour. As for the Conservatives.. I think the billionaires have their pockets well and truly stuffed and will be looking forward to early retirement. California awaits for Rishi.. very much doubt they will even bother their arses to put up a fight.

I was expecting David Cameron to step forward and run on a pro brexit ticket.. hang the whole thing on Corbyn and Starmer and pull a 'Lets Get Brexit Sorted' - probably too much of a shitshow to carry on with and will be much better served in the lap of the Labour party. "There is no money left" would be an understatement.

Then I thought David Cameron would be drafted in as a 'plan b' candidate. Pushing for 'brenter' with the likes of Tobias Ellwood and Rory Stewart.

It will be interesting to see what Sunak comes up.. or if he's actually that arsed about it all. Why would a billionaire want to be stuck doing an office job in the UK?

Jet Ski's and Warm Beaches.. best get the election out if the way before the end of summer!

I don't think Cameron can be PM because he's not a serving MP.

There are no formal rules for appointment and no formal legal limits on who can be appointed prime minister. The monarch can appoint anyone as prime minister under the royal prerogative, a power vested in the monarch since at least 1189, which remains unaltered by Parliament.

The roles of the prime minister and cabinet are primarily governed by convention rather than law, as outlined in the official Cabinet Manual. This includes the prime minister being the head of the government due to their ability to command confidence from the House of Commons and, by extension, the electorate. In theory, the sovereign can appoint whoever they wish to this role – though it would trigger a constitutional crisis and undoubtedly legal challenges.

The title 'Prime minister' itself wasn't officially used until the late 19th Century; while the role, including its powers and duties, lacks a legal definition – even after the Minister of the Crown Act 1937, which first referenced the position to allow for an enhanced salary.

Historically prime ministers largely came from the House of Lords until the 20th Century, modern convention dictates that they should be a member of the House of Commons. The practice was solidified by instances like Sir Alec Douglas-Home renouncing his peerage in 1963 to serve as Conservative Prime Minister from the Commons.

Yes, it used to be the case but I think that there's an agreement that the PM has to be a serving MP nowadays.
Maybe not. In any case there's no way the pig shagger would be tolerated again.

it's just convention rather than law.. so the tories could put him forward as their leader and ask the king to make him prime minister.

imagine typing all of that out!

Starmer will be elected despite a strong showing from Reform. They will then tank the economy and because of reforms showing the Tories will appoint Braverman as PM.
In 4/5 years time with Starmergeddon happening and immigration at it's highest ever the Tories will be reelected and have to rebuild the economy again

The thing I'm least looking forward to is all the self congratulatory smugness.. a clever, tactical, forensic victory.

When in actual fact they tanked the last two elections then stood and watched while the tories played soggy biscuit with the economy.

Nobody cares, nobody wants to listen to any of the bullshit anymore.

Don't think I've every walked into a voting station with pride and voted for someone I was confident would represent my best interests.
