Next up: Keegan wasn't the best tactician

In other "countries slowly entering the modern age" news, fingers crossed for Ireland for tomorrow, obviously.

Happy 30th anniversary of Section 28, everybody. https://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/30-years-ago-today-teachers-were-banned-from-mentioning?utm_term=.ndExJ0XxG#.ueDkYP6kM (Good piece for the most part, though it strikes me that a lot of what he calls for in terms of education - about feelings, emotions, boundaries, rights - was also completely absent from hetero-only sex education/PSE when I was at school. Do kids learn about any of that stuff nowadays or is it still just bodily functions and that's your lot?)

Thought this was an interesting read, not only (but partly) answering your question too as it happens: http://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2018/05/23/unofficial-monster-raving-loonies-decoding-the-brexit-customs-union-row/

I'm pretty much resigned to it for a generation and more now, it'll take a completely different set of people with a completely different approach to make a difference to any of it. No pressure on all of your kids like.

Ah, fanny friendly purulence.

I'm sure you mean she oozes a very family friendly existence, and nothing else.

Only ones who don't lisp though.

I'm hoping they'll have some of the properly older ones too (the guide only goes up to the 6th or so at the minute). I remember seeing the 1958 film and it's amazing, as much for the crisp footage of post-war Swedish city life as the stuff on the pitch. (Niche interest, but hey. )

The History channel goes full-on football from this Monday (which will surely delight fans of documentaries about Adolf Hitler's dental records and the like). Just set a load of stuff to record, there's some decent bits and bobs in there - all the official World Cup films from 1970 to 1998 (except 1994 for some reason), One Night In Turin, various other documentaries... and a bunch of Premier League Years for some reason, but there we are.

She's good on HIGNFY though. Worked well for Boris.

It's a fair enough comparison, mid-2000s Dortmund benefited hugely from their spell in the third tier and... oh wait, no, even when they were essentially bankrupt they didn't finish lower than 13th in the top flight.

At last, a purpose for the royal wedding (other than winding up Mail readers) http://gazcookscrap.blogspot.co.uk/2018/05/goldburger.html

In weekend news, the Labour hard left failed in its efforts to parachute in a Momentum-endorsed candidate for the Lewisham East by-election. That's good news for me at least, means I won't have to get off my arse and deliver Lib Dem leaflets after all.

Happy wedding day, everybody.

And before you know it The Fish will be writing a twelve-paragraph movie review about you. Best of luck strawb

Bop bop shoo be doo wah.

One key error being made, and I mean across the board here, is painting constituencies as "Leave" (or "Remain") as if it's some kind of binary. Your constituency voted 55% to leave? OK, now you're a "Leave" area, and that's that. Even though there's 45% in the same area who voted to stay, and even though we know the referendum brought out a lot of voters who would normally never bother voting, and who likely won't bother voting in the next regular elections either. Clue: they're not the Remain voters. Even walking around this supposedly "Remain" neighbourhood, I know that 3 in 10 of the adults I pass are Leave voters (or soft remainers/don't-carers who didn't vote, which is almost as bad). Which is useful, since I hate most people. Might as well get a head start on finding reasons for doing so.
