    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    LOL! The Tories introduced Voter ID not because of any evidence of electoral fraud, which was their bogus justification, but because the dishonest and devious Tory bar-stewards anticipated that young people, the poor and ethnic minorities - the social groups most likely to vote Labour, Lib Dem...

    [Albion] Losing Macalister & Caicedo

    It would also be great to have new signings with us for the whole summer, for pre-season training and to 'bond' with the rest of the team, rather than desperately signing people 5 minutes before the transfer window closes, then having to wait a couple of months for them to gel, get visas sorted...

    As Chelsea need to offload players this summer to balance their books, I'm really hoping we can sign him .

    [Albion] Anyone else think we are likely to lose both Moises and Alexis in the summer?

    I'm resigned to these two stars leaving this summer, and quite possibly Mitoma as well. I'm not confident that we'll be able secure like-for-like replacements who can immediately maintain this season's momentum when the new season starts. Indeed, I don't expect to see such a brilliant Albion...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Excellent article in yesterday's Grauniad about how the Tories use 'displacement' - pinning their own failings and awfulness on their political opponents; so that in spite of being in power for 31 of the last 44 years, they claim that all our problems are the fault of Labour, the liberal elite...

    [Albion] Looking at the table

    Same here. If I dwell on it, I become furious at the prospect of losing out on European football next season, and because of that, losing some of our best players over the summer, which in turn, would mean rebuilding the squad next season and sinking back to mid-table mediocrity in the meantime...

    [Football] The Ashburton Army

    When I was an Indie-Kid in the '80s, I emphatically turned-down an invitation to appear on a TV programme (presented by Miriam Stoppard) about why 'alternative types' wore all-black. I watched the programme when it was broadcast, to be regaled by several Goths explaining that they wore...
