Just curious. Who is actually 'superior'? I am Superior. There aren't many when it comes to being a Burnley fan. Being middle class takes most of you out. So what makes you able? Genuinely curious.

Re: A Credible Opposition Party
What you’re saying is reality as you know it (as it’s been fed to you by rightwing propagandists), is SO true, that you can’t accept anyone else might have a different take on things. Austerity was a choice by the Tory coalition, and one that failed (note Johnson has reversed this policy). The econ...

What had they “had enough” of, considering the Tories had been imposing austerity for the last nine years? Austerity because of Labour, which happens EVERY TIME the Tories take over.

Re: Has anyone on here had their car stolen, and did the Police recover it?
Police know already who commits most crimes. They sometimes let it slide if it involves more important crimes. Not devaluing your loss. They know who stole it and sometimes are awaiting the bigger crime on most occasions. By that I mean. They're not going to go in gung-ho if your car is stolen for a...
