If we get relegated and stay down he might.

I actually think targeting his shops is a meaningful thing to do - at least he's forced to accept that on some level, his decisions are hurting him. The guys who are taking Sports Direct tweets of special offers and pointing out to people where they can get the same stuff for less - things like that I believe are useful. Not sure about a picket line, feels too much to actively prevent fans from going to the ground, or shaming them for turning up, which is effectively what picketing is. Ultimately though we've been round the houses on this a few times. Only option in any real sense is to push the club down the order of priorities in your life until Ashley finally goes. I mean, it's going to happen eventually - this won't just go on forever. It feels like it sometime, but it won't. We'll be owned by someone other than Ashley in 10 years time.

Think the 5000 figure is for the Coventry game mind.

I don't know much about guns tbh, but how is the gun in the first pic a hunting option? Unless you're hunting tanks? I get the interest anyway, and it's worth understanding given where you are.

Were you tempted to buy one?

That is, however, an amusing twitter post

Rayvin replied to Sonatine's topic in Newcastle Forum
I love how that username is the one that makes the grade into conventional published media -
If a thorough investigation has been carried out and the relevant authorities have decided Russia was behind it, then yes? Did you ever actually understand my position?
-
I mean, was the expectation that Russia would hold its hands up and confess? Why does anyone even care. We already kicked their diplomats out, and our government isn't going to take punitive measures against their rich, so who the fuck cares what Putin has to say about it.

What's wrong with leaving it with a neighbour ffs.
-
That's actually inspired Although maybe you should claim that you didn't notice it, and that it was taken away by the bin men - see if you can get a refund?

You reckon it'll have "remain" on the ticket?

What the actual fuck

That's odd... he fucking loved Twitter. Hopefully he's ok.

The rebate and all our advantages are already off the table now, even if we turn around and head back in pre-Brexit, right? It's so fucking stupid, it really is. As if we're not going to be back there in 20 years.
-
Yeah... depressing state of affairs really. The best we can hope I guess is that Brexit more or less falls apart of its own accord. I started wondering the other day, what the minimum time frame would be for us to leave, realise it's fucking shit, and decide to go back in again. Obviously assuming we were even allowed.
-
Yeah but the membership didn't. This is what I don't get about Corbyn, and is probably the source of most of my disappointment with him - it's not like it would be hard for him to just rock up one day, point to the membership (and now, 2:1, even the unions) and back a second referendum. I mean his power base can't really argue that one without hamstringing the party apart more effectively than the Blairites have been trying to do. Even if he is a Brexiteer, he should have the vision to see that if Labour u-turned, even now, they'd have all the ammunition they needed to take the Tories on properly - and that he will have a better chance to enact his program as a result.

If the umpire interpreted the rules correctly she can get to fuck IMO. If he isn't consistent in other games, then he needs to be taken to task for those, not the one where he applies them correctly.

Different topic, but I came across this post in the Guardian by a commenter who was formerly a LibDem member - obviously I agree with the sentiments: Full disclosure - I was a Lib Dem member for 29 years. I helped set up the SDP and worked on the merger with the Liberals. I can say with a degree of certainty but with a heavy heart that there is no room left in British politics for the Lib Dems and it is all their own fault. I left the Lib Dems on the day the Coalition Agreement was signed and from that point on the Lib Dems were finished. Our special sauce was the "none of the above vote". The minute we were in bed with the Tories we were no longer the radical free thinkers of the Kennedy era. We were just a temporary brake on a Tory government which we should never have trusted. Nick Clegg has a great deal to answer for. The current Lib Dem brand of reasonableness is out of tune with the times. Corporatism and right wing nationalism requires more radical opposition and sensible moderation does not cut any ice. Only the Labour Party can get this country out of the mess it is in. In some respects they are doing a good job of changing the agenda away from austerity and pandering to big business. In others they are hamstrung by a leader more interested in Gaza than Gateshead. There is no room for the Lib Dems or any cobbled together centre party - especially one run by Chuka Ummuna and Tony Blair.

I still think the bigger issue is the collision of cultures between Islam and the West rather than the Poles - although frankly I don't know, so I could be entirely wrong. I would say you develop a narrative attacking another group. A group that can take it, maybe. The rich perhaps... EDIT - even better, corporations - no human face to them.

So 17.6% in the end. First election since they let in 160k asylum seekers, more than any other EU country. Tbh, that doesn't seem like such a big deal to me but i guess Sweden is a smaller country, so proportionally it's a bigger issue. The consistency of these far right gains in Europe should be telling us something, and it continues to be dismaying that the left and centre refuse to answer it with anything other than lipservice.

Indeed. In fact the stifling of UKIP is pretty much the only good thing about FPTP. On the other hand, the Tories gave them what they wanted anyway.

Renton seems to have been in an email time capsule from the late 90s. Idk if he can handle gmail as an out and out email service yet. His head might explode.
