There's a decent chance I might move to Scotland if they get independence

Is it Islamic terrorism? Seems uncertain at the moment. EDIT - I do note that ISIS has threatened Russia in the past few days...

The bookies have apparently all started cutting odds on Moyes being sacked, but that could just be because slapgate has now hit the national papers.

It has been a brilliant season from a karma point of view

I really think Carr should just retire now, the longer he stays the higher the risk of Rafa getting pissed off. If Carr isn't there, no one can 'undermine' him. No one with any concept of football, anyway.

If Labour goes the way I think it will in the coming two years, I'll vote Greens based on that policy alone.

Also worth noting that when we've had to step up our game, we've won. If we go to the PL and are underdogs in most games, I actually think that'll suit Rafa nicely. Bloodying the noses of 'bigger' teams was always his thing.

Why Worcester? They're always my go to semi-pro team. I think cos I like the sauce.

I dreamt we lost this 6-0... I woke up furious weird how long it takes to realise that it didn't happen.

I'm not suggesting is a secretive conspiracy, I'm just wondering why they align themselves with a hard right ideology. Presumably it's because the view is that, over time, they eliminate the Islamic values that are held within these communities - in effect, they turn them into normal Westerners. I'm just supposing that this must be the reason.

I feel like Muslims should be told People like Trudeau are wolves in sheep's clothing from an ideological point of view.

It is, presumably, the truth, however.

Spain are making a play for Gibraltar in the fallout of this clusterfuck: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/31/future-of-gibraltar-at-stake-in-brexit-negotiations

I would agree he's probably the last, best hope. Not sure how he'll go down outside of London though.

Hey CT, hope you're keeping well.

Parky is an anarchist first and foremost, IMO.

That's not actually what I said

I think the real issue here is the idea that we have somehow gotten into a position wherein the left, with its values of equality and equal representation of women, has joined hands with an extreme right wing ideology. If we had a Christian church that was talking about the same values, would he have visited it? I'd be more convinced of the 'good' this attitude could do if someone heading up the identity politicking left actually came out and said what it was. I presume it is, as you say, to obliterate Islam over the course of several generations. To keep the people and annihilate the ideology. Which I'd be fine with if they said it. Because actually, Muslims deserve to know this also. It's probably your final point that's the crux of it. It's just a game and to these people it's all meaningless save for what it takes to keep power.

I actually, on this occasion, meant that earnestly. It does look like a dig though, appreciated

I find Kahn unsettling. He talks about London as if it's entirely separate from the rest of the country, and he strikes me as entirely self interested. He'd be ideal for the centrists though.

It's a tough one, cos that £50bn would be far better spent on the UK as far as we're concerned. I mean, it'd probably be blown on Tory vanity projects in the military but even so. I can see why we're reluctant to pay it. If you consider that there's every chance that we could pay and still not get a deal in place within 2 years, it does rather paint a convincing picture for not paying... Not to back the Tories on this one, but y'know.

It's quite hard to stick to my principles on this and not suggest that this country deserves every motherfucking thing it gets

Then they'd be finished as the party of the working class though. Brexit has totally fucked Labour, Corbyn or otherwise - it's the backlash against the centre that was a decade in the making. The only thing that I find incredible about all of this, is that the Tories have SOMEHOW managed to retain an aura of credibility. That's on Corbyn, without shadow of a doubt. The Tories should have died as hard as Labour have, they're both responsible for this.

Aye but we offered £3bn We're a long way apart.

I figured, which is why I went for self gratification in that last one
