I don’t see how being more skeptical of them would make a difference. I’d imagine the original poster is as skeptical as you, me and the next person.
What we need is a movement to replace the board with informed lay people - not the right wing stooges currently in position
The Queen had a quiet word, a nod, just before Diana got in that car.
Brilliant.
The only problem with your theory is they didn’t try and indite Trump with the evidence, if they had it, nor did he get reigned in.
They placated the pedophile sex pest, licked and bowed. Embarrassingly so.
With no thought nor care for the victims nor the crimes.
Morally bankrupt.
The problem with that is a former DPP and now PM would be appointing a pedophile murdering diplomat to aid and assist a known peadophile murdering President.
If you have that evidence then surely the right thing to do is inform the authorities so charges can be bought against them all.
Starmer should come clean and say Trump is a sleazy, narcissistic tyrant and so we appointed an ambassador to match. Mandelson was the perfect candidate.
We don’t care about the victims. We needed to pander to Trump and his ego. Shame we had to sack him.
We all know this to be the case
Maybe I’m just lucky then.
Or I don’t rely on trust and use widely available checks and balances.
As an accountant, I agree. Which is why when you smell a rat, you suspect a rat. And don’t hide behind naivety as a defence as it would n’t stand up to scrutiny
Id imagine Banks would be appalled at his work being taken and used as a possible blueprint for society designed by that awful man.

Maybe he thought it was Trump.

The reason we struggle to find it in Waterstones is cos they’ve sold them all.
They are like hot cakes. Flying off the shelves…
Iain Banks wrote novels. Iain M Banks wrote the science fiction Culture Series. The same bloke. Writing novels. He added the M to highlight the difference in genres.
Great writer. Pretty Left wing. Top bloke. Never claimed to be a political or social scientist. Now quoted by Musk?
WTF
Is that actually possible? Twas a low bar.
I tried watching Eastenders recently. Absolute total bag of shite.
You can tell she’d rehearsed that line a few times so was well prepared
I fully expect Starmer is about to come clean and say Trumps a sleazy, narcissistic operator and so we wanted an ambassador on that exact same level. Mandelson was perfect. Th only candidate.
We don’t care about the victims. We needed to pander to Trump and his ego. Shame we had to sack him.
The reason this and all governments conduct any type of enquiry is to get away with something, be it responsibility or action.
Hillsborough. Grenfell. Lockdown Parties. And now Mandelson.
All the same (non) outcomes.
Are they saying the integrity of the process was paramount - more important than the fact that Mandelson failed the process?
That’s absurd and pure Yes Minister territory
Anyone with a memory and vague interest in politics knew Mandelson was an inappropriate candidate. No test was required.
Faceless mandarins is the key phrase. Blame the people who cannot be named or identified.
Perfect get out clause - at least in theory.
Oh dear.
Going up. Going down. 😂
Maybe they leave the independents alone as they aren’t seen as a tax evading chain?
You would make a better living shoplifting the goods and selling them on than getting a job in Greggs. It’s rational economics. Particularly as the fear of prosecution is removed
Which is a bizarre situation.
I would prefer King to make an
announcement over the summer that Franks position is safe even if we do come back down.
Which may suggest a lack of ambition but I think it’s based in the reality that stems from the clear gulf between the two leagues - both talent wise and financially.
Take away the human element and emotion for a minute, should King also look to now replace the manager?
I’d say Frank too is at the right level where we currently are.
I would join the uproar if we actually replaced him - it would be outrageous. But it’s probably what Pep would suggest we do!
It’s the sad irony of modern football - the team, and more importantly the individuals, that get you promoted automatically make themselves redundant and obsolete.
Success leads to failure.
Keep taking the meds Anthony…
Words you’d never expect to type about the City.
It is such an achievement. Automatic promotion. And the chance to actually win it. To go up as champions.
We are back.
He comes from Chester and he hates the Leicester
I thought we needed some strikers
In the summer and couldn’t understand why we were bringing in defenders.
Pleased to be proved wrong. Just goes to show little we know.

We are back

We’ve simply ran out of games to fuck it up, in my book.
But it would be terrible to not go up as
Champions now - having been top
for so long (apart from that 3 day blip)
A vague interest in news and current affairs, and a functioning memory, was enough.
I imagine they are currently conducting a major investigation on Dick Tice and his complex business arrangements and about to give that the opening 10 minutes as a ‘news’ item next week.
Note I did say I ‘imagine’…
Absolutely shameless.
