oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think somebody once told him he was clever and gave him a suit once, now he thinks he is some kind of grand master strategist who happens to have some rather 1930s era views 180
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It’s like they’ve spent all the time since the general election at home in their underpants watching Go Jetters on repeat, raging at the wokeness of it all and idolising Grandmaster Glitch 000

oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Whether it’s these awful racial identity arguments, support for Israel’s war in Gaza, support for Trump or Brexit i like to think they are very slowly getting to the “are we the bad guys?” moment 170
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Additionally, the policy doesn’t try to play one side off against the other - everybody gets something and nobody loses, though I suppose the right will attempt to frame not winning as much as somehow losing out 000
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Could it be possible that Farage recognises how unpopular Brexit has been and is quite happy to let somebody else expend the political capital on a fight between rejoin and stay out? 161
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026To be fair Sam, that is some leap from what was in Burnham’s post. 010
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 11/09/2026There are a couple of things that stand out to me George. Firstly, why did Root seem to think that the tactics that had worked for 58 wickets were not going to work for the final two? And secondly, why so little guile? Did we not think making our plans so obvious would be a hindrance? 011
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Sorry David but that’s ridiculous and doesn’t help with the very real needs many parents and teachers have to deal with on a daily basis. How you jump from 1 in 10 to everybody needs some explanation 010
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Dear me, it was giving me cathedral of lights vibes before I even started the video and saw the thuggery. 000
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Thanks Jay, I’m really looking forward to reading the book. My mum would make us herring roe on toast as kids which I loved. Can’t remember the last time I saw them for sale though and doubt they would make it to the pages of the Eater! 120

Aside from the terrible lack of scrutiny suggested by the headline and complete failure to even consider what the human costs of this policy might be within the puff-piece, I’m really intrigued to know what “lover-level conditions” (sic) are?bbc.co.ukReform UK plan would overhaul welfare system with £50bn in savingsThe party plans to release a full 50-page plan on Monday outlining their proposed changes were they to come to power. 000

oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Doesn’t that amount to the same thing though? 100
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 09/08/2026What else is really supposed to say though? “I’m opening negotiations with the EU, and nothing is off the table, including full reintegration and rejoining the EU”? Even if that is what you (and I, by the way) would want, it would be a terrible negotiating tactic. 100
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 07/08/2026It feels like this piece should have started “Whisper it” like all good right wing bollocks 000

oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The reality seems to be that at least since the late 60s they have been the bat shit party, held in check by a few sensible heads. Johnson destroyed that with his act of gross narcissism 020
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I do find it all a bit unsettling that it’s a £5m “gift” that is finally stirring the moral indignation of much of the public and the press 020

oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Remember the moaning when we signed Gana Gueye from a relegated side? And that was about £6m. I can’t say I really noticed anything that special at all about any of West Ham’s players last season other than Bowen and Diop 000
oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Very good young midfield that (also Dibling who I still have high hopes for). Let’s hope we get a chance to see them! 030

oldscarecrow.bsky.social @oldscarecrow.bsky.social · 23/06/2026I don’t think enough has been made of our FPTP system. Remain fought a defensive campaign as a result of decades where we had very few willing to put full throated arguments in favour of European integration, because it might put off certain voters. Equally the referendum was seen as an election 150
