  • Yes I agree, rejoining the EU seems to come up quite high in opinion polls when that is the sole question, but the parties that are supporting this are not.

    Apart from FPTP, I reckon another factor is that people are just sick of hearing about Brexit. It has been in the news cycle continuously for years. I don’t think it is enough of an issue to be a vote winner compared to Lab/Con focusing on generically growing the economy and talking about migrants etc. I just think back to that clip of Brenda from Bristol after news of the Theresa May snap election and reckon that is where most people are at in terms of Brexit.













  • The Tories originally supported the proposal which is quite hilarious seeing how much stink they are throwing currently.

    I do agree public transport needs more funding but they are in a pretty tricky situation where the Gov has very little money to improve the service (partly due to Wales transport funds being spent on HS2) and at the same time bus usage is down and not recovered after lockdowns. I hope the 20mph limits will encourage more onto busses, but I am not confident.




  • I think that the decision to not give a lifetime ban was correct because it would set a double standard. What about mind_control who explicitly said that Hitler should have killed the Russian population? I realise this example was not in an official match but in my opinion is 10x worse. Also, Pure’s incident I believe can be placed into the category of ‘edgy meme’ (and one being assumedly a whole lot more normalised from the country he is from and media he consumes). Anyway the bottom line is that I think a lifetime ban should not be received for stupidity.
