My point is that, with a handful of exceptions, I don’t believe football and politics are any more inextricably linked in terms of ownership or support than football and religion or football and cultural differences.
A discussion about cheese would be preferable to the endless and tired rehashing of today's leftist talking points.
Families should go without cheese sandwiches if they cannot afford the ingredients, Ann Widdecombe has said.
The former Brexit party MEP said there was no “given right” for low food prices, despite being told families “cannot afford to feed their children” and were having to make huge sacrifices as the cost of living crisis deepens.
Widdecombe, who joined the Reform UK party this year, was on BBC’s Politics Live programme when she was asked what she would say to consumers who could not afford to pay for basics such as the ingredients of a cheese sandwich.
“Well then you don’t do the cheese sandwich,” Widdecombe replied.

I'm not entirely convinced Ann Widdecombe isn't just a Harry Enfield character

Yeah, it's not like there's a football governance bill going through parliament right now or anything.

I feel for her...they gave her a chance to became Light Ent, but her box of frogs views were too toxic (whereas Portillo is now an avuncular traveller on the BBC gravy train) and now she's reduced to being the shouty right winger on Jeremy Vine.
The likes of 30p Lee and Jacob Rees Pitt the Younger have taken over the political 'character' role.
Poor old Bozzer worried about having to constantly defend his appalling record is reduced to poorly researched books and DM columns rather than a glittering TV career he probably expected.
Not sure how the current discussion came about, but football and politics are inextricably intertwined - more so than ever. It's not like someone introduced a totally irrelevant topic like, idk, cheese.
The Football War (Spanish: Guerra del fútbol), also known as the Soccer War or the 100 Hour War, was a brief military conflict fought between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. Existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier.[7]
The mighty @Chickenhead introduced politics into this thread, aided and abetted (of course) by @Malone. So this fully paid up champagne socialist and member of the metropolitan liberal elite respectfully suggests any complaints are sent in that direction.
I refute any link to politics. Especially Chicko's version of them.

Would be an interesting (ish) debate, what has more holes, your average piece of cheese, or some of the gasroom mafiosa's politics.
All I want is smooth roads, easy access to medical professionals, bin collections every day, revived high streets, 24/7 libraries, more sports centres, well maintained parks, less crime, clean streets, everyone safely housed, less tax and more austerity please.
I'm not professing admiration for any of Johnson, Trump or Farage. I'm simply saying that all three of those reach parts of the electorate that other politicians cannot reach.
If the left, in the form of the Labour party, expect to hold on to power in 2029, they need to find a charismatic leader who engages with the hopes and fears of a substantial proportion of the voters. And that person is not Keir Starmer, nor is it Angela Rayner or Rachel Reeves.

The UAE would be perfect for you. The austerity is more social than financial, though.

Great minds and all that!!

Qurt.

Isn't that what vegans eat instead of chicken?

Apparently it's a central Asian delicacy made from yoghurt and fermented milk.
This started with a rightist opinion @floyd which I assume are always vital and refreshing.
@Kim_il_Swan I never assume you are being whimsical.

Makes the bedsheets look very tame, to be honest.
Vital, refreshing and filled with common sense.

More mafioso or more @Malone burner accounts?
For the record I only post as Malone, Micra and floyd.
(EDIT Just in case it wasn't clear i feel i need to point out that was just a joke...it takes enough time posting under the 1 account!)
The party in power governs many aspects of our daily lives so that’s like saying that potholes and politics are inextricably linked.
They are

Clean sheets?
Is this a parody account?
Who decides whether to fill potholes?
It's Andy Burnham
Have daily bin collections ever been a thing?
And the aquaduct, don't forget the aquaduct.
