    Tyrone Biggums First, that's not a reliable source, second, it's factually inaccurate, and third, you clearly didn't understand your own quotation, (that's pretty funny). Wherever and whenever there are nazis, Antifa will be there to meet them on the streets. Long may it continue. Beating down...

    Embarrassing nonsense.

    Chris Hughton

    I've heard so many friends and colleagues refer to him as a "young" manager -- it's fun watching their jaws drop when I point out his actual age :)

    The Jeremy Corbyn thread

    They've been cleared of breaking the Data Protection Act, not of "any wrongdoing". They still broke their own company policy. https://skwawkbox.org/2017/07/12/ico-says-no-virgin-traingate-dpa-breach-video-still-exonerates-corbyn/

    General Election 2017

    What I posted yesterday (see below). This deal is totally unnecessary -- more proof that May panics under pressure and makes bad decisions.

    General Election 2017

    As LBC's James O'Brien pointed out in a tweet, the reaction from the right would be somewhat different if Labour had been the largest party after the election, and Corbyn immediately gave £1bn to Sinn Fein. The hypocrisy is absolutely stunning, and the mental contortions right-wingers are...

    General Election 2017

    The anger is about the hypocrisy. To cut this deal after the smear campaign against Corbyn is staggeringly hypocritical and cynical, even for this government. Also, did you really just compare the SNP with the political wing of Loyalist terrorism?

    General Election 2017

    Given that this agreement completely torpedoes any pretense that the British government is neutral in regard to Northern Ireland (thus massively raising the risk of terrorism), a far more sensible strategy would have been to simply govern as a minority. That's completely acceptable...

    Just Had a Thoughtful Email From Ebay!

    I'm flying back to the UK to cremate my father next week. Emails such as this (I've received a few too) cause me to reflect on the death of my father, an event that causes me emotional pain, at times when I would rather not do so (such as when I'm at work). One also caused a moment where I...

    Should the voting age be raised?

    The real old/young split in this election was that older people still get most of their news from newspapers and TV, while the young find information themselves online. The young were better-informed than the old, and they voted Labour. Perhaps we should be asking whether the old should have a...

    The Jeremy Corbyn thread

    One possible result popped into my head earlier today that, while unlikely, is still more likely than makes any logical sense. Let's say the Tories squeak home with a wafer-thin reduced majority, something like 2-3 seats. The Tory knives would then be out for May, for having called an...

    General Election 2017

    I wonder whether you even read that summary I linked to. It clearly states And it contains a link to the fuller version of the study, should you wish to read it. I suspect you won't wish to read it though, as you may find the cognitive dissonance too much to bear.

    General Election 2017

    The BBC is biased, but not in the direction you think it is. While its entertainment and other non-news output could, arguably, be said to portray a "liberal" Britain, its news and current affairs output has a clearly identifiable right-wing bias. Don't believe me? You don't have to. Cardiff...

    Do you want Scotland to be a part of The United Kingdom?

    Anyone who thought Brexit *wouldn't* lead to breakup of the UK wasn't paying enough attention. If it wasn't inevitable before (which I think it was), May's intransigent, patronising attitude to Scotland has made it a dead certainty.

    Nope, you just weren't paying attention. For example: -- February 2016 -- January 2016

    Only The Daily Mail...

    You've got this the wrong way around. If you think this neo-Nazi murderer that you're so keen to defend had good reason to think immigrants were about to steal his house, you have to prove that this was the case; it's not beholden on anyone else to prove it wasn't, because a negative cannot by...

    US election (merged threads)

    It's actually happened twice in the UK since WW2. Ted Heath's Conservatives got some 200,000 more votes than Harold Wilson's Labour in 1974, but Wilson had a majority of 3. Too slim to govern effectively, which is why there was another election later that year, in which Labour came out top in...

    Please Vote for Sidwell's Goal, goal of the season so far!

    Sidwell's goal is clearly better, I guess Shelvey's is top because Newcastle fans are brigading the poll en masse.

    Boycott The Sun backed by Liverpool council

    I imagine that poll would be a lot less close if it was our fans at Hillsborough that day. What the Sun did was an absolute travesty, and a deep insult to all football supporters, not just Liverpool's. No football fan should touch that rag with a 10-foot pole.
