We've got a decent record with ex-Valencia fullbacks....

Isn't this what Johnson's supporters purport to love about him? So does Johnson, I think. Which is what makes the language he's chosen to use here cynical. Oppressed women (his words, not mine) are being used as collateral damage for his leadership ambitions. You only have to see the responses...

Where did Emily Thornberry mock their appearance here then? What Thornberry has said here is EXACTLY what Johnson's defenders are saying they want - a debate, without playground insults.

This is interesting - https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/may/14/gigi-buffon-david-de-gea-keepers-football-undervalued Seems to suggest that the data used to evaluate goalkeepers performances has become much more reliable of late.

I don't have an issue with anything you've said. I agree that should the appetite be there that this is a debate worth having. However, if we have to accept cheap Islamophobic jibes from high profile politicians as part of the debate then it's a no from me.

I think Welbeck would do well here, however, I think he might be a couple of years too old to fit our transfer policy. £15m would be quite a lot for a player who may not have a great deal of resale value at nearly 28.

'Denmark has got it wrong. Yes, the burka is oppressive and ridiculous – but that's still no reason to ban it.' The title of the article.

So you feel that it is fair game to ridicule the victims of oppression (presumably your view)? I fail to see what the oppressed have done to deserve shaming in a national newspaper. You can't have it both ways, either these women are the victims of oppression and don't have agency over their...

To normalise the ridicule of an oppressed (Boris' view) group?

I didn't ask if it was fine. I asked if it was necessary to illustrate the point that he was making.

So why do you think he included it?

Do you think 'letterboxes' and 'bank robbers' were necessary to illustrate the point he was making?

It did make me laugh last year when there was the 'Is Ryan too small?' debate going on here. The only reason he's here is because he's 'too small.' That was the punt and it's another one our recruitment team got right.

I reckon this is data driven. I suspect goalkeepers have been massively undervalued in the past.

The issue isn't whether you agree with Boris or not. The issue is the deliberately inflammatory language around postboxes & bank robbers. It is very easy to have this debate in a civilised fashion. And if Johnson does stridently believe what he is saying rather than using it for a bout of...

Yeah and given the ongoing discrimination against the Trans community, much of it coming from mainstream voices, elements of that community feel in a less celebratory mood, especially when confronted with half of straight Brighton in drag.

It does in name but it doesn't in much else in my opinion.

I assume all those bemoaning the commercialisation of Pride all made it to Trans Pride a few weeks back?

Further evidence of the Tories much heralded economic competence.
