Oh man, I thought I might attract some flack! I do empathise with the support your local team thing, for certain and respect folk that follow that. I'd say how far do you go with it? My local professional team would be Crawley, but then there's Burgess Hill Town down the road etc. If we go for...

Our main rivals I'd say (in order) are Spurs, Liverpool, West Ham, Leeds, Arsenal, QPR.

I was at the game earlier in the away section. I must confess, I'm a local lad (Haywards Heath), been to lots of Brighton games, have a soft spot for them as a local team (but would stop short of calling myself a supporter) but am a Chelsea fan, been to hundreds of their games having been...

Looking at Sadiq Khan’s timeline, he’s responded to this the only way he really can without support of the Government

Got back from Cardiff earlier today. Great weekend, although the fight was a little disappointing. RE Joshua’s standing, what I will say is that I’ve never had great interest in boxing, but due to the way AJ carries himself, the fact he backs up everything he says whilst staying relatively...

Individual polls should never be paid attention to. Trends in polls, however, can indicate a shift in public thinking- which surely is the whole point of polls.

No. People should be free to speak their mind. That includes not only the folk coming out with hate speech, but also the folk that respond. I find that usually the people that say ‘I don’t have free speech’ are more frightened about other people’s right to free speech. What they’re really...

I get what people are saying about the goading and the filming while driving, but two wrongs don’t make a right. There’s absolutely no justification in spitting at a child.

The John Lewis staff ownership model is precisely what we need to see more of in society. I've personally wondered whether the PLC model could be tweaked to accomodate mandatory employee ownership schemes- that wouldn't mean majority ownership, but x amount of shares belong to employees.

The clever thing about Milo is he always uses facts to back up his argument (and many of the pariahs of the right simply won’t do that). But he never, ever tells the full story, and often deliberately leaves out key things that would counteract his argument. I’ve seen him do this when addressing...

A case of factionism over actual track record, here. Very sad. Momentum should thank their lucky stars that FPTP is a thing, because I reckon if there was an SDP type party that people actually thought had a chance, half of Labour’s voters and a chunk of Tory and Lib Dem support would disappear...

Yes, they do. You and I are a product of a myriad of different cultures.

It's not.

The thing is, your argument falls apart for me when you say 'single market and customs union' does not constitute leaving in any form. How many times in the referendum campaign did we hear 'we never voted to be part of a political union'? leaving the EU alone solves that, and many, many folk...

Not quite, based on the results of the referendum and the make up of Parliament right now, I think there’s probably a mandate for a soft Brexit there- leave the EU but remain in the customs union and single market. I don’t think you’d have a majority if the question on the paper was ‘no deal’ or...

No, of course I don’t think it’d be that close, nor is there the desire to for either Shengen or the Euro (even I oppose both), but I see no difference between Leavers using a 52/48 margin of victory as a mandate for no deal and the hypothetical idea of Remainers claiming a mandate for the Euro...

Say Britain had voted 52/48 to Remain, would Brexiteers be content with the U.K. joining the Euro and Shengen since it was the will of the people?

So specifically protestors in those groups? That’s fair enough all be it a bit of a broad strokes argument. If you were to widen it to Liberalism or Democratic Socialism as a political view, I would say it’s pretty absurd argument.

Quite a broad point there, fella,want to expand on it?
