I just wondered if this guy is a mackem troll, as seems likely, if it might be easier to just expose him by doing that thing you do (or just confirm it tbh) so we can put this charade to bed.

All that matters to me is the situation with the EU. I'll work out how I feel about Corbyn once that's done, but if he's backing Remain then he has my support.

You should let us know if you ever in Newcastle, I'm sure one of us would be available to meet up for the game And as Looney says, your English is fine, don't worry about it.

Confirmed?

Not sure about the top 6... but otherwise yes. I think that's the point these days tbh.

Why do you follow Newcastle?

Fair enough but I still think they'll be gone in under 10.

It's fucking annoying how long it's taken Corbyn to get here, but if it goes off successfuly he gets my membership back. This is the only issue I care about atm, and yes, I'm fickle af.

The thing with Leicester is that in 5-10 years they'll have been relegated again. Blackburn Rovers should be a cautionary tale to them.

@Monkeys Fist Can you just out this guy once and for all?

Agreed on that, although a move towards a Norway would still be acceptable IMO.

Well, looking at it logically, if I can't vote for an MP that has a grounding in normal life + good policies, then I may as well vote for one with good policies. If you'd asked me a couple of years ago then I think the 'ordinary guy' thing would have been less significant - having seen the total failure of someone who has 'good policies' and still seems to willfully throw the country over the cliff edge for the sake of a political gain, I say again, I can see PL's view.

Nothing.

I recall a great deal of frustration with George Osborne about the fact he was the chancellor on the back of having a history degree and never having worked a day in his life in terms of ordinary jobs. I don't know how true the idea that she will lose her seat at the next GE is, but surely that weakens your position if true, suggesting that people vote for parties instead of individuals (which I personally feel is mostly true with some exceptional outliers). And again, PL (without putting words in his mouth, but we seem fairly aligned atm) is talking about her being a symbol of the general malaise and disconnect between parliament and the public. Maybe some grounding in what it's actually like to live under most of their policies as a normal person would be a useful experience for many MPs. Whether the public vote for her or not, as we see with Brexit, does not mean they're necessarily voting in their interests.

If he's opposed to her as an MP because she's 'from another planet' as far as the electorate are concerned, why are you trying to determine if he supports her positions or not? You're talking about a metric he isn't even referencing. Clearly for some people, recognising the normality of their MPs in terms of modern living is important. It's why Theresa May attempts to play pool and fake being human.

Well yeah

Obviously really hope they do get Rodgers but we're only going to dodge this bullet for so long.

God damn. Well played by the other guy to just divert around Trump's fucking stupidity while giving him something he can cling onto to save face.

Is your wife ITK?

They did beat Bristol tbf.

Aye if it continues like this it's a rare endorsement of Ashleys strategy.

They'll just run it through an appeal process, get it delayed and then splurge this summer. It'll be like nothing happened.

It doesnt matter to me if it would have happened or not in terms of my faith in Corbyn. His stance so far is an absolute betrayal of the membership. I mean let's remember that 65% of Labour voters (not members) voted Remain. 65%. The membership 90% wants a second referendum. He's thrown all of that away in order to pick up the non voting malcontents who delivered Brexit to us. They aren't his responsibility though, his responsibility is Labour voters and members. It's pathetic.

It seems like this is having a positive impact on Corbyn concerning a second referendum. Not that i have any idea how such a thing might be achieved now.
