The country is in its poorest state for since Blair imo. Regardless of my life's circumstance.

The best part of 2 decades of neglect and dismantling of public services is going to take a long time to fix. But it looks like people want a bit more of that anyway because Kier Starmer is a bit boring, so enjoy the next few years.

11 arrests at Villa last night. 11 arrests in a game with no away fans, that’s surely some kind of record

One in 5 people of working age don't work and are therefore claiming benefit of some sort. 

Not everyone of working age who is not working is claiming benefits.

There are loads in their 60s who are not working and drawing down from their private pensions.

We have a Beer club that meets once a month, 6 of us all early 60s , only 2 still working and they are winding down.

As is the old fella who seems to be saying he'd prefer it if the Nazi's had won.

I really don't think that is what he's saying

Fair enough, you've earned it! 😁

We had quite a few arrests in the COVID season when there were no fans!

The thing I'd dispute there is that the fans were banned because of a campaign by Islamist thugs 

They got banned because of the actions of Jewish thugs

I'm on about the local MP doing the video who thinks islamic thugs are the reason why maccabi fans weren't allowed at the game

The "best era" is always when you were young and had barely any financial/health worries.

Absolutely 👍

Until towards the end.

They did well initially- taking on a decent situation and improving it.

The growth of the services sector (financial especially) bit us hard when the 2008 crash happened. 

Traditional thinking says that the higher the level of services in an economy, the more the level development, success etc it has.

Newer thinking says this might not be true.

The comparative lack of manufacturing does seem to have affected us, though this is now changing somewhat, which is good news.

Definitely

Countries need to start producing more stuff for themselves, on their doorstep. As we used to. 

How you can go from posting about random people's grandchildren being raped to this is beyond me.

Interesting watch

Some of the stuff he comes out with at times makes him look as much of a numpty as some of the pro palestine lot he interviews to be fair. 

All this 'No Go Area' is such shite isn't it.

Completely ignores why WMP banned the Tel A Viv fans from coming.

I'd say there's plenty of areas an open Jew or dude wearing Isreal type stuff  wouldn't be able to walk freely in.

Not sure I'd be wandering round Bermondsey in a West Ham shirt either mind.

It would be great if things were back like the 60's where a labourer could earn enough on his own to raise a couple of kids and have his tea on the table when he got in but that is long gone. Add to that in order to survive, both parents need to work and many get benefits even though they are working because living costs have far outstripped wage growth.

Meanwhile there have never been so many millionaires in this country and yet trickle down economics doesn't seem to be working, who'd have thunk it.

Good post

I don't think we're too far off some policies becoming mainstream to address this issue. The decades after the war were some of the most prosperous years this country has seen, & funnily enough wealth inequality was at its lowest. Now it's bigger than it has ever been. It's no coincidence standards of living are falling as wealth inequality is growing.

Exactly

There will be places around the country that Jews won't feel safe in.

Same goes for Muslims for that matter. Same goes for a West Ham fan wandering around the Den. Or a Rangers fan in the East End.

But all this No Go Area bullshit is just branded about with no context. Often only ever directed at immigrant communities.
