Barry Gardiner to stand for leader. I’ll give him one thing, he’s an optimist.

Every cloud..

Is that why lady wood packers are always so happy?

Worth a read through

Tbh I overreacted a bit to that comment as I knew what you were getting at. And you're right. Even Gloom and ewerk are basically right. It just pisses me off that the truth is seen as a problem instead of something to aspire to.

his surname sounds like something an angry geordie might say

The US does literally the same things. I mean the US was funding ISIS at one point. All i'm saying is that if he gets the label of terrorist then so do they. And the fact that no fucker wants to realise that reveals that it is simply a politically useful term for designating "people the US don't like" more than anything genuinely objective. Look at Syria. It's evidence he would have been a terrible PM because he would have been truthful about this point. And heaven fucking knows how dangerous it is to actually point out the hypocrisy of the West. We need leaders who are going to pretend we are righteous. Fucking hell man, you may be right about this in terms of his suitability but it's more evidence that this country and the world in general is just fucking depressing. The notion of having someone who believes in abiding by international law who urges restraint, and who is strong enough to call out bullshit by the most powerful nation on earth is terrible. Far better we have a quisling.

God this is so depressing. Some stupid mentally ill cunt in his 70s making all the decisions while the missiles fly. Probably some silly old Iranian cunt doing the same on the other side. I wish 80% of the human race would just drop dead so we could start again. I'm happy to be in the 80% although the 20% would need to work out how to reinvent sexy.

If you were half as clever as you think you are, you wouldn't still be going to the match, FUCKFACE.

That makes no sense. About as much sense as the suggestion why not build the plane out of the same stuff as the black box...... If you stream out to a satellite the data could be stored there or forwarded on. Or you would just need a wire to come out of it attached to a transmitter for a belt and braces approach. I think its technically possible to live stream but would require a fuck ton of bandwidth with thousands of planes airborne at any one time.

That's surprisingly insightful from the Mail. If Iran does have some history in orchestrating things like Lockerbie then I guess we should expect a US official to be disappeared at some point.

On the subject of planes, the Americans shot down an Iranian civilian plane in 1988, killing 290 people, 66 children. How is that not an act of terror? They're utter bastards in foreign policy. Maybe it really is all necessary to keep us safe but i sincerely doubt it.

Glad I've been off sick the last couple of days as it allowed me to watch five day test cricket in all its glory. Stokes is an absolute freak. To put in a bowling performance like that at the end on a dead pitch after being amazing in the field and lasing their bowlers all over the park was truly staggering. Good to see performances from Sibley and Pope too.

Really liked the new Star Wars, much better than the last one. Seen Jojo Rabbit the other day and thought it was excellent.

You wouldn't. Jed Bartlett wasn't pure enough for you.

I sometimes wonder what we expect these "terrorists" to do when we invade and destabilise their regions with reckless abandon. Bend over and take it? If they were attacking us without provocation I would agree with you. But they aren't. They're attacking us because we have forced them to, and because they can't fight back conventionally because we have overwhelming force. I don't get why this isn't more obvious. What would you have these countries do? Nothing?

There goes the massive post-Brexit trade deal with Iran.

Well you've lost my vote.

A young lad with six top flight goals in his career sounds like the perfect solution to our goalscoring problems.

Corbyn and Rayvin sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Me neither at this rate. I'll be calling in with PTSD. Charlies in the trees!!

Man United getting battered

Someone should tell him to go walk on the A1 and try give them out there

Rochdale have been allocated 5,000 tickets. Tickets for season ticket holders go on sale on Wednesday morning prices £10 for adults & £5 for concessions for home fans. It'll be double that on matchday. Apparently if not enough are sold Charnley will be handing free ones out in the Strawberry car park. Failing that he'll be trawling round the streets trying to give them away.

So yeasty she’s baked her own bun?

i'm in the anyone but RLB camp

The idea we should have a token female leader instead of the right one is what’s embarrassing. Anyone else but Kier Starmer is a waste of time for me.

well, that was worth it

He’s terrible as a pundit back in the studio, but this time he’s a co-commentator where, to be fair to the lad, he somehow manages to be even fucking worse.

What’s Gemmill got to do with it?

Hopefully you.
