It's true though. You wouldn't believe it to be the case to talk to any of them individually I'm sure, but it certainly does appear to be true.

This is an excerpt from the Guardian - I was thinking it was all quite encouraging until the last sentence. The whole country is taken hostage by pensioners, every single time. "The demographic breakdown also shows that Labour has a lead over the Conservatives among the unskilled social class DE by 43% to 36%. Labour is also ahead among 25-to 34-year-olds – just – by 43% to 34%. This is the first time in the campaign that these two groups have shown stronger support for Labour than Conservatives. It should be noted, however, that in the key skilled working class C2 voters the Conservatives retain a lead, although the gap has narrowed to only two points to 40% to 38%. The unskilled working class and 25- to 34-year-olds join the 18- to 24-year-olds, students and black and minority ethnic voters as the key groups in which Corbyn can expect to find strong support. Unfortunately for Labour, these are the groups with the lowest turnout when it comes to actually voting in the election. It should also be kept in mind that taken together, these groups of voters total 400 out of ICM’s sample of 1,470. The over-65 subgroup, in which the Tories have a commanding lead of 64% to 20%, nearly matches them alone with 392 out of the sample."

Let's just assume it was serious.

You'd be more than welcome to do so. I'll hold my hands up.

Wonder what the fallout of Arsene Wenger's new deal will be amongst the Arsenal fan community

Think they're scapegoating Islam rather than warring with them. Good distraction from everything else.

You're doing my a favour here I guess, before I get ahead of myself and start believing that a Tory majority could be prevented...

£8m. RTG will be going fucking nuts at that.

They registered to vote though, that's something. Chin up man, who knows what'll happen. Momentum might be able to get people out to vote.

It apparently didn't make The World at One, which is what was contended.

Not so sure, the Tories have repositioned and are going for immigration now - politics of fear. I see the Telegraph have run a story about a 'secret' Labour plan to bring in unskilled EU workers. This is the sort of shit that sticks, although I'd be fascinated to know if there's any truth to it.

@Park Life Oh good grief... that's horrific. I mean, we all know that the MSM isn't the problem though. That's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt by many on here

These BBC presenters, radio show hosts, etc - they will (I imagine) all be earning more than £80k a year. A Corbyn government will hurt them. This is the monumental scale of the challenge Labour faces in getting Corbyn elected. They have to do so despite all platforms for accessing the public on a national level being controlled by people who stand to lose out if he gets elected.

Was he on the same show as Corbyn? Brilliant if so. Also very fair points.

Yeah but look at Pogba for instance. He should fit the Bale/Ronaldo mould that you've set out, but Real Madrid knew to stay clear, and while he's not been a flop exactly, it's hard to imagine him being considered a success either.

Finally

It's actually interesting to see that for all Real Madrid have this reputation for spending mental amounts of money - when they do it, it does actually seem to work. Compared to United and City at least.

I enjoy arguing about both things, but you need to give and take for it to be constructive - especially with politics. I've changed my mind on things many times on here following discussion with other people - it is possible, you just need to be a free thinker with an open mind

I originally thought that this thread was something to do with Operating Systems and had been posted in the wrong forum. That said, you've got some years appearing multiple times. So is it the Top 10 Transfer Windows of Any Club in Terms of Money Spent? And is it net spend?

In which case my argument collapses. Well played

Not what I said. FFS Parky. Whether it happens to Muslim girls was not Wolfy's premise. You're trying to send this off down a channel that makes sense to argue about, which I understand because Wolfy's original position is unsustainable - but his original comment indicated that Muslim laws/rules/influence were affecting HIM. Is Wolfy a Muslim girl?

That isn't what we're discussing though - the issue here is that Wolfy feels that he and his family are having rights/liberties taken away by rising levels of Islamification. I'll readily agree that religious courts in this country should be abolished, but they have absolutely no impact on you or I in terms of how we live our lives.

Are these Christian schools? Non-denominational state schools aren't religious anyway, so what difference does it make if they don't have a nativity play? I don't see the power creep of Islam that you're seeing. I could see an argument to suggest that it's blending with feminism on some matters (women covering up, crack downs on sexual freedoms, removing ads about being beach body ready in the London tube, etc) but these are minor details in the overall scheme of things.

The EDL appear to have been set up in response to Muslim gangs on Luton though - I can understand the logic of where they came from. Obviously they've morphed into something entirely different, but if you look back at where they came from, it very much does appear that communities in the area had become segregated and that race relations were very poor. That's not just on the EDL. UKIP are just racist in the old fashioned sense - the EDL come from a direct example of a failure of integration.
