    Has social media made the UK more right wing?

    That's a great post. But I'm going to pull you up on one thing; social media isn't a public square, it's a safe haven. And that's the key distinction. If some people said some of the things they say on social media in a public square, one of two things would happen: A.) they would be filled in...

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    You're on a discussion forum? And you're asking people not to reply? Bizarre.

    Very well said.

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    Maybe "most" was unfair. But if I were to ever have kids and the wherewithal to pay for their private education, I'd rather put my 30k pa in a trust fund ready for adulthood. A privately educated child could go on to become a world-leading scientist, or a coke-addled banker that ends up...

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    Those that enter politics just compounds my point, no? They're not in their positions because they are intellectual titans, they are there because they have the asterisk (Eton or equivalent) next to their names. The prestige of their education slickened their career traction, not the quality of...

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    There's fuck all wrong with state education. I was state educated and have forged a respectable career for myself, I would say the likelihood of my trajectory being different had I been sent private is slim to non-existent. Likewise, my close friend since childhood (also state educated) is now a...

    The Conservative Party/Government

    Good. I hope they're wiped out, effaced completely from the political map. It's the least they deserve after 15 years of maltreatment.

    Agreed. Any success England may have in the future is contingent on these two players forming a partnership.

    Sorry mate but that's just waffle. When he starts turning up to training half-cut, or getting into scraps on night outs, we can begin to talk about self-destructive paths. Does he come across as an arrogant prick? Absolutely. Some of the greatest players ever were self-conceited, it's not new...

    Nope, I'm just not in denial. He's an incredible player by every conceivable metric. By other teams, do you mean Dortmund?

    "Going down a self-destructive path". Jesus fucking Christ. Got anything to substantiate that? You're saying a young lad who has walked into the biggest team in the world, into a veritable pressure cooker, and has taken the team and the league by storm is on a self-destructive path? What are...

    You can't admit to never watching Madrid play and then say you've never seen him have an incredible game. Not really a fair assessment, is it? It'd be like a Madrid fan saying they don't think Foden is an incredible player but never watching City. I don't think he was brilliant tonight, but...

    Reread his first post. That's exactly what was hinted.

    Messi is the greatest player ever. Cruyff is one of the greatest players ever. My definition of incredible is fine. Going off the season, he's an incredible player. Unless you're only allowed to use the words "very, very good" or "great". Let's flip it, is Phil an incredible player?

    I never said it wasn't. But the poster intimated Bellingham isn't a special player, which is fully cooked denial. He's comfortably in the top five players in the world this season.
