Would it ?
Certainly not by me.
Why would it make him Anti UK if he didn't attend ? I wasn't aware the UK were playing in the final.
Really poor effort to defend the guy, but then again come to expect it on here.

Come off it, you remember the Mail two page spread trying to malign Ed Milliband’s deceased father for hating England when it was in fact complete and utter rubbish. I am sure if he had not turned up the Sun etc. would come at his non appearance as a sign of his anti England (to make you happy) stance or are you so naive to believe otherwise.
It is easy to forget it was not the U.K. playing when you look at how Johnson has promoted the team. He can now go back to his wiff waff or whatever he use to do at Eton.

Do you really think that Starmer blagging a ticket to the final is the biggest problem we have regarding covid.
You should be on stage man.

It will be notable just how few politicians and royals are interested in the RL World Cup, even if we were to make the final !

I am sure Starmer would have been bored out of his mind on Sunday but he has no choice but to attend - I would agree Boris will not attend the RLWC final I bet he would have preferred to be at Wimbledon rather than Wembley.

I saw what you did here, two separate issues, your clearly upset with this government but to actually blame them for covid borders on the embarrassing trying to link the two, as for the leader of the alternative party blagging a ticket it's simply an exercise in vote catching, the mans a bigger fraud than that idiot he succeeded, I'm sure he'd sooner be somewhere else than stood with the great unwashed with his false smirk, after all it's not as though his reputation will suffer

Was he actually there ?
He certainly didn't mange to attract the camera man's attention ?

As for fraud, I think that you need to look at the jovial blond fella that lives at no 10

Do you want me to send you a list ?

Grow up please

Is that surprising, why would the cameraman seek out a Z list celebrity with all those B list celebs queueing up for attention, lets face it you've either got it or you haven't and the alternative party leader falls woefully short, just like his party really.

Not sure what list you want to send me but crack on with it, I'm sure it will be weighted in your favour

Perhaps you should grow up yourself , or you could simply tell me where I'm going wrong and convert me into joining the alternative party apologies for having a different opinion to yours.

Is this more stuff based on absolutely nothing ? It doesn't take much research to find out you're totally wrong.

We can but hope.

Where did I say it's the biggest problem we face? Really poor attempt at deflection. Its hilarious reading the left leaning reaction to the simple conclusion that has to be drawn that, in this situation, Starmer was hypocritical.
Why can't you accept that without trying to deflect it?

I honestly didn't know he was there, hence the comment in reply to happyjack.
You may be surprised to know that I dont follow his movements but, Im pleased that your outraged by his actions, really pleased

Lol talking about deflection in a thread that is basically 48 pages of champagne socialist deflection and whataboutery

There you go again putting words in my mouth ie making things up. I'm not outraged, it's what I would expect from a champagne socialist like Starmer.

How does one get some of this famed champagne? If a lad from a working class background like Starmer is swimming in the stuff it sounds like it's a free for all.

That's probably why he's swimming in it cos it's free and he shows his face in the right places.

You mean like visiting those families with relatives lost to Covid which Johnson constantly promises to do but so far has failed to do so.

Starmer has had enough ammunition gift boxed to him by the Tories over the last 18 months.

He has failed to do anything proper, except given the Tories more popularity.

Aldi do a nice one

Now that the tories lead is even greater how do Labour come back from this?

From a narrow Labour perspective the key elements are probably getting some more recognisable figures off select committees and on the front bench as the election approaches, and hoping that the joke of Johnson wears thin too late for the Tories to switch.

From a broader hope for the nation’s future POV, then maybe we (the very loose anti-Johnsonian alliance) have to accept there is no single solution that will suit us all, whatever our political priorities are. There has always been dishonesty and incompetence and nastiness in government - but it was at least seen as something to decry and resist. Allowing Johnsonian government, intentionally or not, means giving up on this country, imo. It is that serious. So all intelligent people of good political conscience need to think about what can be done to remove him before they focus on anything else. None of the things that decent people want, from across the political spectrum (market capitalists, social democrats, environmentalists, Celtic nationalists or unionists, fiscal and/or traditional one-nation Conservatives, egalitarians, liberals… anybody) can happen until he is gone.

There you go, he’s at the challenge cup final, proper northern man of the people

I wonder who would be the first and it was you. What you should be asking why isn’t Boris there because he loves the north apparently.

I wonder who would be the first to defend him on here and it was you

Boris will be too busy putting the needs of the country first than free loading like your mate, I notice the beeb only showed him the once, probably not too photogenic, tbf he's not got a lot to smile about.
