You don't have to subscribe to the politics to enjoy watching the sport.
It's not just hockey, pretty much any highly paid sport will have the players skew to the right politically. Tom Brady, Mike Tyson, Pete Sampras, Don King, Arnold Palmer, Shaquille O'Neal, Dennis Rodman, and many many others.
You'd pretty much have to stop watching all sport to avoid MAGAs.
The idea of saying "those lefties are trying to divide us!" is the most Kier Starmerish thing Kier Starmer has ever Kier Starmered.
YOU are not the party of inclusive and progressive politics any longer. Gorton and Denton have shown that, in the old heartland of industrial Britain and former labour stronghold, people would rather vote for the Greens because they no longer see Labour as the political force it once was.
So let me get the "family voting" accusations straight. An unaccountable "monitoring group" have been observing elections for over 10 years. Not once have they seen more than 1% of votes be possibly affected by family voting. On this one instance they manage to see it affecting 12% of votes but neither report anything to the electoral officers on duty, whose job it is to enforce this regulation, or make any of their observations public?
And it just so happens to give Farage another anti-muslim, anti-leftist talking point.
Hmm.
Also voter coordination is not illegal. Ballots themselves must remain confidential but it is not against the Ballot Secrecy Act to tell someone how you're going to vote or who you should think they should vote.
I know several people who work there and I used to live within sight of the building. I remember when Sharps was a small but popular micro-brewery just starting to get national recognition.
I predicted that this would happen as soon as I heard Molson-Coors were moving in. Not quite sure how a business that turns over £16m and makes 100,000 barrels a year is unsustainable. Hopefully someone can buy the site and continue producing.
By-elections (one that's not part of the regular national elections for whatever reason) are always less predictable but it's a good sign! That's the second one in a row that Reform were confident they'd run away with it and got defeated by voters coming together to oppose them.
Imagine a Senate election in a state that's always elected Democrats. All the media is saying how the MAGA candidate is going to win by a landslide and then a plucky little environmentalist who was late to an interview on NBC because she was at a plumbing course just smashed everyone.
Factor 5 were literal wizards. What they managed to achieve with Rogue Squadron on the N64 was incredible and Rogue Squadron II on the Gamecube was on another plane of existence entirely.
It doesn't surprise me that their next project was equally impressive.
