Grando 272 Posted March 3 2 hours ago, Big Vince said: Norwich City is just hopelessly socialist. Delia, Wynnie, Balls, Gibson, Clarke and now Starmer have all been inside the ground. When the country runs out of money and everyone is woke and workless and Putin is actually invited in to take over, Norwich City will be utterly complicit in all of it. Yeah, NCFC are one of the root causes of the collapse of Great Britain. Nothing to do with Brexit, 14 years of inept Tory rule etc. etc. It's because we had Ed Balls as Chairman for a time and invited Starmer once to a Saturday match.

Commonsense 646 Posted March 3 19 hours ago, littleyellowbirdie said: Yup. They should be able to just go out and do something for the hell of it some times without people passing judgement. Should have been the same for Liz Truss as well. That’s the Liz Truss who met the Queen, who promptly died and then went on to totally fcuk up the economy-all in the space of 40 days ( with a pause for the royal mourning and funeral). It’s quite hard not to pass judgement on that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,040 Posted March 3 (edited) For the record I do not support any political party, I dislike them all in equal measure but in the interests of balance I was amused to see Mr Hunt is going to flip flop and steal a Labour policy regarding the taxation of non doms, anybody would think there is an election looming...........

Sorry I still have my cynical switch turned on. Know where you’re coming from. I just see all these prime ministers and senior politicians with nice directorships etc after leaving their role, no doubt due to the favours they did while in power. I just find the whole think corrupt and distasteful. It is also a system of government designed before modern technology, to divide the country into regions as you couldn’t expect everyone to go to one place to vote back then. ok, soap box is put away, back to football talk!

OTBC! I understand the cynicism but I think that to view all politicians as the same is part of the problem - there are many dodgy politicians but to tar them all with the same brush is unfair to those that are not and lets those that are corrupt off the hook. E.G my ex MP (who I did not vote for) Simon Wright did not move on to a well-paid directorship when he was voted out but instead runs a local charity, Nelson's Journey, which helps young people from Norfolk having to deal with bereavement. Compare this to Brandon Lewis, MP for Gt Yarmouth. https://members.parliament.uk/member/4009/registeredinterests Gordon Brown and Teresa May have behaved very differently as ex-PMs to Tony Blair, David Cameron and Boris Johnson. IMO saying they are "all the same" just lets the bad ones "off the hook." OTBC 👍 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
