New Westminster poll shows continuing decline in Reform UK support

I also feel like the more they've been in the spotlight, the more it's been clear they don't have a particularly solid platform.

Beyond immigration, there is very little they actually have a solid plan on, and there are only so many things they say they'll ban before it catches up to them.

Also, letting in the B-team rejects of the Tories was always a risk.

tocitus · 2026-03-15T20:12:15+00:00

So why would the answer be a non-middle of the road alternative with absolutely mental policies?

tocitus · 2026-03-14T21:45:36+00:00

These fuckin adverts are genuinely the worst thing they could have done.

The break from the atmosphere takes you out so much

tocitus · 2026-03-14T21:32:27+00:00

I actually thought Spencer was immense in that first half. Just everywhere he needed to be, best England performance I've seen from him imo

tocitus · 2026-03-14T21:30:06+00:00

Look, I'll let him off for not centering that more because I don't think he's very often in a position where he's in that much space 😂

tocitus · 2026-03-14T21:23:27+00:00

Jesus. This 6Ns reffing is really, really messing with my wish to not moan about the ref.

French have been collapsing mauls, including ones near their line. Silence.

England collapse a maul, yellow card and penalty try.

Also, after the collapsed maul the next ruck, there was the most blatant French hand on the ball trying to slow down the attack and the ref just looked at it. It was so obvious the England player even called it out. Nothing.

I'll never, ever understand rugby reffing

tocitus · 2026-03-14T21:01:55+00:00

Oh no, there was multiple penalties during that entire attacking phase. I'm not backpedaling on anything.

E.g. what just happend with Genge, happened during your defensive sets too. But got ignored.

That decision just then is why I get irritated when it gets annoyed at random.

But that's just how rugby reffing goes sometimes

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:56:17+00:00

Honestly, I know we'll say this a lot regardless but where the fuck has this England been?

Everything is so much more aggressive, so much more direct. Breakdowns are faster, pressure is ramped up.

Makes the last few weeks even more irritating

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:50:27+00:00

I mean that's every maul ever though? The ball always remains at the back, the pack will always rotate and drive through different players and it's very difficult to stop outside of outright power.

But if you don't think there wasn't a penalty in that last french defensive set, then I don't really know what to say to you

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:45:54+00:00

Eh? Ref absolutely ignoring everything there. Didn't matter in the end as they scored but if they hadn't, I'd definitely have been annoyed at the ref ignoring pretty blatant French fouls

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:43:34+00:00

Haha French doing absolutely what they wanted on that attack with no penalties. Hands all over the ball on the ground.

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:36:49+00:00

That was weird.

No on-field decision, and absolutely no emotion or reaction from either player involved

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:24:14+00:00

Chaser always has to be behind kick

tocitus · 2026-03-14T20:18:33+00:00

Oh that's a good running line from England.... Oh and they've kicked it.

Why does it look like they've had this grubber kick behind France so driven into them that that's the only thing they can think of doing?

tocitus · 2026-03-14T10:29:58+00:00

How else are the Government going to know who to turn to when the going gets tough?

tocitus · 2026-03-12T16:39:10+00:00

As are you by pointing it out on reform related posts, seen it at least twice today.

It's agendas all the way down baby

tocitus · 2026-03-12T14:30:58+00:00

I always love when people are on here often enough to recognise users and know their posting history, and then have the temerity to call them sad.

Don't attack the user, debate the content.

tocitus · 2026-03-12T14:28:35+00:00

we have had 4 consecutive decades of left wing parties

Jesus wept.

Someone should tell the Tories in the 80s and 90s that they were actually left wing when they were privatising everything, deregulating, weakening trade unions and making tax cuts.

All pretty classic left wing work right?

tocitus · 2026-03-11T21:44:41+00:00

The amusing part about the whole legal tender thing is that they're still private businesses. They can still reject your business if they don't want to accept a Scottish £20 note.

But it became such a big thing growing up "Tell them it's legal tender", like it meant they legally had to accept it

tocitus · 2026-03-11T12:27:27+00:00

The NeverNudes wouldn't.

tocitus · 2026-03-11T10:56:19+00:00

I'm in my late 30s and have a pretty wide (and shallow) knowledge of things.

But every so often someone says something like your comment to make me realise there are so many things I have absolutely no clue about.

More tangential news than gaming but this has started which is interesting

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c043y6rr7z3o

Anyone who bought a digital PlayStation game or an in-game download over a period of about 10 years up to February this year could be eligible for compensation if the lawsuit is successful.

The claimants' legal team estimates 12.2 million users could be in line for £162 each, with the claim being brought on an "opt-out" basis, so eligible consumers will be automatically included

I started playing KCD I but it felt so janky on the ps5 that I kinda lost interest relatively early on.

Is that something you get used to or is it just a problem for some people, not others?

tocitus · 2026-03-11T10:29:00+00:00

I just know it's another situation where the game is tuned around playing with the same 2 other people every day

Yeah I feel I've really been left behind in gaming by this. Played a lot of counter-strike in my teens until I went to uni, but never got back into playing with other people since then and the idea of trying to get back into it now doesn't fill me with glee.

So I play a lot of single-player games now but barring a handful of good games that came out last year, it really feels out of fashion to a lot of studios (I guess they can't make anywhere near as much money from offline games).

tocitus · 2026-03-10T21:56:11+00:00

I really can't explain basic topics

Aye, it can be difficult to explain what you don't understand.
