JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
So, the party faithful have opted for BoJo but the party elected MP's aren't happy so will cross the floor, resulting in a General Election. Hmmm In the current climate, I can see a hung parliament with the Lib dems at the front, the Brexit Party second and the other two jostling for the amount of seats needed to make them junior coalition partners, with Labour and the Lib dems taking power, whilst the others further polarise the Right Wing.......and all this because Cameron wanted to cement his power and underestimated the depths to which his detractors would go to.

Shambles is an understatement.

Aided and abetted by the government of the day, who closed their eyes to the "anything goes policing" . Of course there was plenty of wrongdoing on the miners side but, nobody should pretend that the police stuck to the rules.

But we have been here before.
So why post another perverted Daily Mail headline? You embarrassed by your party by any chance?

But that is the Sin Bin, socialism and every reason why the UK is trapped in the 50's.

The prime minister should only be decided from a general election, you vote for a political party and the winners leader becomes prime minister. I’d say that is electing a leader.
Boris Johnson has been selected by a small number of old rich men, this is not democracy. 699 out of every 700 people did not vote for Boris Johnson, he has no right to be PM and should call an election if he has any integrity (he doesn’t)
