Christians would tie you in knots saying that God gave you free will and if you choose not to believe in HIM then you won't be saved (or to put it another way - doomed). I used to have fun debating this stuff with door knocking bible bashers in the US, but they are programmed to deflect any...

Errr...you're wrong actually. Daily Mail front page banner headline June 22nd 2016 (the date before the referendum) "IF YOU BELIEVE IN BRITAIN VOTE LEAVE". As for the Guardian, it isn't mass circulation and it isn't read by the less-educated nor aimed at the old.

Why is it character assassination to quote research which shows that leave voters are typically less educationally qualified and older? Is it unfair to say that the Sun is aimed at less well educated people, and that the Mail and Express at older people? Those three newspapers backed Brexit to...

Yeah all this debate about the future of this country and what the future will hold for our children is a real drag...

OK I accept that as a reasonable point. But these same less educated people are likely to be the ones who suffer most in a post-Brexit Britain when all those fantasy trade deals with the rest of the world fail to materialise, the economy falters, and the Tories are unhindered by EU law to...

Probably about the same proportion as any other Prem club apart from Man U obviously; and it's well known that most Leicester fans mainly live outside the city. Anyway, if a large proportion of Albion fans live outside B&H it makes the poll result even more interesting. I believe that around...

I'm just quoting the demographic research that was done after the referendum; I quote: "The data confirms previous indications that local results were strongly associated with the educational attainment of voters - populations with lower qualifications were significantly more likely to vote...

The majority of NSC contributors appear to be Remainers, and the 3 local MPs we voted for are Remainers, so I would say that 81% pro-remain looks pretty realistic. We clearly have a smaller proportion of the elderly and/or the ignorant who are the bulk of the Brexit vote.

This thread seems to crop-up once every 2 weeks from someone who grew-up in Brighton but now lives in Dubai or Florida or Swindon, and they visit and discover that their favourite old corner shop has closed down and somehow they've never heard of Conservative austerity which means that local...

Given that the majority on NSC appear to be teetotal who exactly are those hundreds of people ahead of me in the queue at the Harvey's stand before the match?

Totally agree; I like your comment: "it takes a curious type of belligerence to persist with the wrong version now"

Fans having the liberty to sing whatever they want isn't really the point; we expect the team to be united and battle to keep us in the Prem, but meanwhile us fans can't even pull together and sing one proper version of the clubs official flippin' anthem! This is on the premise that "well...

There is clearly no hope...

Surely it's about being consistent and not being pig-headed rather than what is acceptable.

But what is the problem with singing the original words to the song? "You can tell them all that we stand or fall for Sussex by the Sea" is a powerful message of solidarity. Do you still insist on calling Albion "The Dolphins"?

Oh here he is, Ian Paisley's secret love child with Eva Braun...

I remember the tension as crowds assembled on the terraces of wondering who would end-up standing next to you. The Whitehorse end at Palace 1979 particularly sticks in my mind. About 20 skinheads without scarves came and stood near me only to be steamed by about 100 Albion who rumbled they...

My Arsenal colleague tells me that the Cologne fans were good natured and they created a beery/friendly atmosphere in the streets and pubs. And the Arsenal fan websites all seem to be saying this as well. The problem English fans have got is that a 40 year reputation is hard to shake off, and...

Tradition...

Agreed, this is very harsh on Eddie Howe. You've got to remember that given the opportunity a large proportion of people talk complete b0ll0x...
