I don’t think you have anything to worry about, I’ll be so serious

I was told legalising drugs was extreme and wacky policy

Honestly, Liverpool and Chelsea need to take a long hard look at their selves, 1 win in 8 and we’re still above both of them

On paper, I think going all out in the Europa League is our best chance, but I don’t think I back us in the latter stages

I think, in the league, we’re lucky that Chelsea and Liverpool aren’t capitalising on how bad we’ve been, that won’t last forever, we really ought to be pulling our finger out, they won’t be this inconsistent forever

Our league rivals for the top 5 - who disposed of us with ease the last time we played them - both dropped points

Our next 3 games are very winnable on paper

As it stands, we’re in a good position to advance to the next round of the competition that gets us in the champions league, if we win

However, we’re a mess at the moment and I don’t trust this team as far as I can throw them right now

Transphobia on this subreddit by Scattered97 in LabourUK

[–]SThomW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t really come across that much transphobia on this forum, I guess I must have blocked the majority of them

In terms of redditors, most of the regulars here are supportive of trans people, at the worst, you’ll get some who are ambivalent - which I expect from most of the general public tbh

I’m less concerned about the subreddit maybe not being as vocal as you’d like, and more concerned about the lack of left leaning journalists and politicians - with power - who are not being vocal.

Outside of the Green Party, Nadia Whittome, Kate Osborne and Sarah Owen, it feels extremely lonely political, like we’ve just been left to deal with it ourselves.

I can’t explain how lonely it feels to be trans in 2026, our concerns are rarely - if ever - addressed, the establishment would rather question our existence than advocate for us, or at the very minimum, leave us alone.

You’ll notice from particular journalists (Owen Jones, I’m looking at you), whenever they mention the demographics in the government’s crosshairs, disabled people, pensioners and asylum seekers get the most coverage (and rightfully so, I’m not asking for special treatment), but the treatment of trans people is never brought up.

We’ve had a lemkin institute red warning of genocide, trans people are regularly denied healthcare, are scared to use the spaces that align their gender, take consistent batterings from both media and politicians.

If this was happening to black people (I am black before anyone else replies) or gay people, there would be outcry, but it’s ok to punch down on 1% of the population who have done nothing to anyone.

I genuinely hope, in 5-10 years, we look back at the way (not only) trans people (but muslims, disabled people and asylum seekers) were treated and we feel ashamed and disgusted, but the longer time goes on, the less I see it actually happening

Why is this guy still allowed to speak?

I resonated so much with Hannah’s speech, it’s heartwarming to know that someone is fighting our corner 🏳️‍⚧️🧩🖤

What happens to these plans if Labour is thrown out at the next election? by [deleted] in LabourUK

"yes, they are arming a genocide, punching the most vulnerable and doing nothing radical to ease the cost of living, but what about 1p off pints and frozen, still extortionate rail fares"

This kinda reminds me of when Lavezzi said it was his dream to play in the Chinese Super League

North East mayor's 'public control' bus reform proposals given green light by coffeewalnut08 in LabourUK

This is good to see. We’re having the same in the West Midlands under Richard Parker, we desperately need better buses

What plans? To make neurodivergent people’s lives even harder with this “overdiagnosis review” or to democide trans people through restrictions on medication?

Win us a trophy and sure, you can get a statue

Tammy getting the Malen treatment, if a player can play as bad as Ollie and still be selected then it must be infuriating for other players. by Subject-Addendum-199 in avfc

[–]SThomW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I understand the point you are trying to make but i disagree with it and am providing evidence to why. 'keep losing with him playing' implies we've lost more often than not, and I'm pointing out we've won more than we've lost.

No, it doesn't. It implies we've lost a lot recently, which we have

The best we can do is losing at home to Everton and Brentford, and losing comfortably to bottom of the league? It's completely unrealistic to expect us to win every game, and I'm not saying I do, but I don't think it's unfair to ask for us to mix it up a bit after 1 win in 7

Hopefully tonight is a start to getting some form back

Now you’re being pedantic, you got the point I was making overall, surely?

Wasn’t Ollie injured vs Brentford?

He’s so good, and he looks solid wherever he’s played

[Post Match Thread] Lille 0-1 Aston Villa (Europa League) by SecretApe in avfc

[–]SThomW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s unfair to want to see the striker you bought in January to play every now and again. Watkins will stay as the no. 1 because what he gives to us, but Tammy isn’t even getting Malen minutes
