If we can refrain from playing Kyle Walker, i think we should be ok. Otherwise we'll have to score two. I fancy us to get 1 at least but its hard to say where it will come from. Doubt Sweden will give away any stupid penalties.

I was telling myself before the game that i didn't care, same view as Renton, but then watching Colombia arse around all fucking game before we eventually won on penalties of all things... idk, couldn't remain 'above it'. I was jumping around the fucking living room This is the first England team in over a decade that has earned support IMO. Even if we go out to Sweden, which we shouldn't, I'm pleased we made it this far. If we beat Sweden I might actually be proud.

What about the pensioners who voted to Leave? Also, haven't the demographics for this been broken down already?

I have noticed the right doing this a lot recently - after years of decrying the left for standing up for the working class, now he have rightwing fucknuts speaking up on behalf of 'the ordinary working class man' in defense against the liberal, middle class, bourgeois elite.

Thanks mate, I've disabled it's access to my phone storage

If Unite does force them to come out in favour of the SM, it'll be interesting to see which way it swings.

CT, what do you think is going to happen if she gives us a Norway style Brexit? As in, will the government survive it?

Has it been confirmed that we're going for Kenedy as well? -
Oh dear... which thread was this in?

Aye but you'd need someone to actually take control of the beast that is created, and I'm struggling to imagine Trump is that man.

Nice piece - probably the most convincing 'Trump is a fascist' thing I've read... although I don't know if I credit him with enough intelligence for this.

I hope you enjoy it mate. I'm on my last day at work today myself. Almost 10 years and finally fucking over. So far it's the longest day of my life.

Fair enough with Milo, he has definitely aligned himself with Trump. It's possible I guess and certainly this all exists in a similar climate to the Jo Cox killing.

I dunno man, the media frequently get called out as liars by more people than just Trump. Not sure it means anyone is actively advocating violence. As far as I know, Trump hasn't said anyone should be harmed, just that their ratings will fall. If your contention is that he is normalising mistrust in the media, I would say that we were at that point long before Trump was on the scene. In fact, I think that evidence is that trust in the media has actually increased in the Trump era. Open to having my mind changed on this tbf, but of the many things Trump is guilty of, I'm not sure about this one.

It sounds more like the guy had history with the newspaper given he 'sued them for defamation in 2012'. Not sure this one has much to do with Trump. He's just another fruitloop.

Indeed. Or he's given up arguing. -
VAR sends Germany out. Amazing

I also fully agree and will once again take the time to point out that I had very little issue with Blair and Neoliberalism while it appeared to be working, and am only now annoyed at it because it has allowed populism in through the backdoor to make off with all common sense and the futures of our children. Blair is right about the US needing to value a strategic alliance with the 'West', and that they should actually be pushing for a stronger EU rather than a weaker one. Where I think he's wrong is in thinking that Trump will care about any of this. Trump is essentially the personification of populism. Also at no point have I considered you to be a neoliberal cunt. You're just a man with centrist views, doesn't make you a cunt.

Yeah I saw Sargon announce this a few days ago. It's pathetic but I've always found his views on the EU to be deranged, so it's not entirely unsurprising. It worries me slightly that Sargon is starting to become a political figure in his own right, now organising live events with thousands of people turning up both here and in the US. And he's a fair public speaker. Suspect he'll be running as an MP soon.

I'm lazy. And it stands out more this way anyway

Apparently Ings is leaving Liverpool. Would he be worth bringing in if Mitro goes? -
Taken from the Times: The Conservatives, the party of enterprise, are turning on their own. Sir Craig Oliver, David Cameron’s director of communications, tweeted on Sunday that the Tories saying “f*** business” is like Labour declaring “f*** the NHS” or the Greens shouting “f*** the environment”. Conservative MPs don’t know whether to be angry or depressed. “It’s a nightmare. Corporate madness has descended on us,” says one former cabinet minister ... The mistrust between business and the government is deep and mutual. One senior figure in the City suggests that Mrs May, who will address The Times CEO Summit today, has so little interest in or understanding of business that she should remove the words “First Lord of the Treasury” from the letterbox at No 10 because she has given up on the job of promoting economic prosperity. The cabinet, he says, is held in contempt in many boardrooms because of the lack of seriousness at the top. “There’s a sense that it’s a bunch of amateurs in charge, that the government is run by teenagers obsessed with their own narcissistic ambitions who have no capacity to understand the world as it is rather than how they imagine it to be.” In contrast to Labour, who with John McDonnell as shadow chancellor are “deadly serious” about shaking up the economy, the Tories are seen as “frivolous”, with no answers to the big challenges facing the country. “People are constantly amazed by just how s*** ministers are,” says this corporate source.
