https://bsky.app/profile/nickwhithorn.bsky.social/post/3kr7lncfnpn2f I thought this long and interesting thread should probably go here because it somehow seems appropriate....

One of the absolewt classic moments from their history marra. A tackle in a match.

Anyone care to guess what the fuck is going on here? Does this commemorate something we should be aware of?

Thank you for your application.

The real question is why do I not have MORE cheerleaders.

That's the kind of FYP that me and Hot Mitch can work with.

fyp

They’re relevant, man. Just like how they’re massive, classy, humble, self-aware, universally respected, well liked by other clubs. It goes with the territory

Yeah I think that's precisely what he's been doing which is why we havent signed anyone Also why does Gemmill have a cheerleader and who allowed it

Brighton's last 10 matches. They're 9 points off the top 7, and the soft motherfuckers have downed tools.

If we get CL, I don't think any of you appreciate enough just how HOT this summer is fixing to be. Mitch here captured turning up to work on the day the window opens: "Let's get to work"

Has that silly cunt replied to let them know that all known historical records and the view of the club itself are incorrect?

20 English teams they have links too, and the Mackems aren't one of them

It's exactly that yes, but it's so depressing that they can't just take one for the team on it. I'm moderate left wing and even just having a moderate left wing party that I could vote for without it being a life or death, do or die situation of pressure to vote for Labour every single time then I genuinely believe I would be more at peace with the UK and the political situation within it. What has annoyed me more than anything is what Labour would use my vote as a mandate for. I don't agree with so much of it, why are they the only ones I can vote without enabling fascism. That's what boils my head at this point. Last time out I didn't vote Labour (but was in Scotland so didn't matter much), but said that I would if they offered PR. I stand by that. I'm close to saying I would vote in fucking Farage if he offered PR.

The main parties avoid going beyond the discussion point as it's turkey's voting for Christmas and not in their career interests. Smaller parties are in favour of it as it increases their chances to govern in some manner. If Farage thought for one moment Reform had a chance of governing as a majority, he'd be dead against PR. With very few exceptions, modern-day politicians are self-serving career-driven cunts - because the system as it stands drives that behaviour.

Absolutely, we've been calling for PR for years now and it's incredible that it still doesn't get the attention it deserves outside of fking Farage. Labour members lobbied for it but Starmer ignored them unfortunately. Having said that, I'm not sure it would protect us from a Reform/Tory coalition anyway, but it's still the right direction to move in. Labour's broad church argument only works for as long as left leaning people put up with them moving right, and you'd have to imagine that this can't hold up.

Yeah that would have fooled us all

It's alright, we've got Andrews knee-jerk match thread from the board collapsing. What could possible go wrong...

Fuck me. Reform can't even spell Frankenstein correctly.

This fucking scruff.

The crux of your post is demonstrative of why the political system in it's current state is fucked and needs reform (NO, not that Reform!). As you rightly point out, to win power you need to be centrist and then the expectation on both sides is for the respective parties to lean towards their respective traditions and be considered weak and gutless if they appear to not do so in an undefined timescale. This country desperately needs PR and likely governments built on coalition instead of traditional one-party views. And not like the 'coalition of chaos' that was 2010-15 - it needs true equal-standing coalition where the best interests of the electorate take precedence, not a focus on career politics.
