enough of this mawkish toss.This is a footballer.


Manchester united are an enigma, wrapped in PR and smeared with shite. A collective culture based on a handful of youtube shorts designed for EZ consumption by the instant gratification generation. Easy access for lifes losers who want be be seen as winners. A pavlovian tear in the eye when Munich and Best are mentioned, knee jerk collective outrage when the Glazers are mentioned, Sentimental emotive tribal shite set against a black and white film of Matt Busby,a link to a working class history that never really existed except in the minds of the Sky generation drip fed manufactured immortality and helped along its path by easy money.Buy the shirt, watch the highlights, establish tenous links with the city, be part of the global tribe, be a winner or your money back.

    • No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.       
    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.
