One or two examples might help back up your statement. There is nothing that a UK government can't afford. The whole notion is a nonsense.

And there are plenty of self-described centrists just on this thread who aren't exactly elated with this government. They won't have the benefit of disgruntled Tory voters abstaining next time either so will NEED the votes from the left. They won a huge majority on very thin margins - you're a...

It's not a good analogy though. If you take over as manager and are then allowed to not only spend any amount of money you want - to bring players in, but also change the laws of the game to suit your playing style, you'd expect a reasonable upturn in results pretty sharpish.

RIP to both. Awful news.

See you later immigrator...

That sounds horrific. Fingers crossed and all that. Best wishes.

Are those two things related?

Congratulations, you've stumbled across the paradox of tolerance: "is it okay to punch a Nazi"? If an IDF member was starting a chant of "death to Hamas" then I'd not be particularly bothered. If an IDF member was starting a chant of "death to Palestinians" then I'd want them to be closed...

Hope he doesn't run out of puff...
