Any one thinking that the labour party has moved too far to the right (as if) remember that under Miliband (Harrman) & Corbyn it was more or less un-electable.

People don’t want ‘extreme’ Government, left or right, they want what they see as ‘capable’ government, Goldilocks Government, not too left, not too right.

After Thatcherism, which it’s self was a reaction to too much Labour, came ‘New Labour’ which was a reaction to too much Thatcher, so on and so on through to Starmer.

Since Blair the Country has had to choose between watered down Labour or watered down Tory.

All this time since the 70s the world and the Country has been changing, sometimes slowly, sometimes very quickly and both parties have been unwilling or unable – sometimes both – to a) change with the times. b) incapable of being able to do anything about ‘world events’ outside their or anybody else’s ability to control.

Like I said, people don’t want ‘extreme’ Government they want capable government – whoever they voted for they got IN-cabable government.

For 30 (40, 50?)yrs they’ve tried all the various shades of ‘the devil you know’ giving Johnson and Starmer both (different sorts of) clowns big Majorities in hope of finding the elusive ‘capable government’

Hence Farage. He has one thing in his favour, unlike the others – who…MacMillans ‘Events dear boy, Events’ notwithstanding…who always manage to fuck it up, he has a perfect record.

He hasn’t fucked up yet.

Odd Paul, I’d have the feeling that your neighbours would be saying the opposite, with some expletives. ;-))

Sam (55): Great to see you on here. As my annoying Yank neighbours keep saying, ‘Don’t be a stranger’.

The only surprising thing about Mark Steers’s limp and lame posts on this thread is that he didn’t tell us ‘I go all the games, home and away, like’.

Such a lack of class, respect, and knowledge.

Unlike Seamus who oozes class but shows such humility:

Who clearly loves our club and goes every game home and away, like.

He never gave less than 100% on the pitch and is a huge influence for the good off it.

My fingers are tightly crossed for him to join the coaching staff.

We can all go to work and do a good job, but the measure of the man is how he is seen by hs colleagues, his managers and everyone else who knows hm.

Basis that, Seamus s world class in every aspect. If I wanted to give someone a role-model on how to conduct oneself in work and in life, he would be the person.

He also really make the most out of hs abilty, worked hs heart out and kept everyone together in tough times.

Thank you Seamus.

Right up there with the best transfer business we have ever done, in my view alongside Sheedy and Cahill. And maybe like Cahill, short of being ‘a legend’ or even very top echelon, but miles better than any right back since.

I agree the last 3-4 years, in hindsight, were a waste of money from the clubs pov. If I were to feel bitter about anything, it would be the possibility of him still being able to play a little like he used to stopped our management team from signing the RB we so obviously and desperately need. But I guess that’s not Coleman’s fault.
