It's the opportunity to imply equivalence that matters. Not actual equivalence. Last I saw, Cobyn wasn't anti-semitic. Or pro-terrorist. But he did enough (or had done enough in the past) to open those lines of attack and the damage was done. Most of the press don't like the left and politics...

Well that sucks.

Live by the sword die by the sword. Starmer has ballsed this up big time (despite all those assurance I had on here that with him instead of Corbyn as leader Labour would be 20 points ahead. Ahem) The decision to focus on the partygate bollocks, and attempting to pull down Johnson, instead of...

As I can't be bothered to look it up myself, can I check something. Is this play-off system only to get into the champions league, or does it also decide who gets to be crowned 'champions of belgium'? I see your point for the former, but not so much for the latter.

We were excited about the game because for various reasons it's been a while. Walking to the station we had ths conversation: My daughter: So who are we playing? Me: (brief pause as i try to remember) Man United D: Oh. OK. Pause. Me: So that means we'll see Ronaldo live. D: Oh. (pause) That's...

We are safe and I really really want to have Mwepu with us next season. So I'm not too upset to have him out of the limelight just ahead of the transfer window opening.

This must be true because no footballer has ever had a dip in form unless they have been distracted by politics. For the record, it won't happen but (OBVIOUSLY) I'd love to have him at Brighton. Quality is permanent. He might, just, squeeze past the no-dickheads policy as well.

I assume that most Newcastle don't pee on statues. But they are now up in arms about someone who is associated with them, that did.

Govenment does not 'produce nothing'. That's ridiculous. Apologies for the Guardian link, but the facts in this article are not disputed as far as I am aware: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/12/phone-state-private-sector-products-investment-innovation Business is needed. But...

Hey, the world can never have enough gold plated yachts owned via tax haven registered shell companies.

How did I guess you'd be first to pop up and defend BP? Expenditure and payments to shareholders by businesses like BP are regressive and will have an overall environmentally negative impact. Government expenditure is generally progressive. If you want a more sustainable and more equal world...

That's fairly easy. Give it to the government. Even under this venal, corrupt government, the vast majority will be spent on health, education and public services. And contrary to 'popular belief' (aka tabloid headlines), the vast majority will be well spent, on salaries, equipment, and...

Calling it 'politics' as a way to duck the issue is such a cop out. I don't object to the Saudi regime because I think their approach to monetary policy is flawed. Reminds me of the apartheid era, when the 'keep politics out of sport' was the favoured refrain of all those greedy white men that...

Newcastle fans up in arms and saying they are 'better than this'. Whereas mass executions, murdering journalists and torturing wmen's rights activists? That's all just fine.

I haven't got much to add except to say that, as a long-term lazy arse slacker, I have found it equally easy to be unproductve at work or at home. The main difference being that when I slack off at home it usually inolves something relatively positive, like going for a walk or doing some...

I don't know how to multi quote, so: 'there are plenty of gay, bisexual and lesbian people who are gender critical' So what? 'Tomboys and effeminate boys have always existed' You think that is what transgender means? Really? Not much point in a debate then. But still... 'now they can "treat"...

1. JK Rowling expressed her views publicy (using her considerable influence and profile to do so). Some people agreed (vocally) and some disagreed (vocally) with her. How has she been 'cancelled'? I just see groups of people disagreeing with each other. 2. It terms of your views on the issue in...

Eh? I think you've got the wrong forum hun. This here is Centrist Dad Chat.
