True. What's just happened to CT's avatar is a microcosm for what has effectively happened to Brexiters. Voted for 'freedom', ended up looking like bellends.

This. And the fact that he appointed his muppet son to run the club when he retired. Nepotism like that deserves to be punished.

It's at the top of this thread?

So it IS an existential crisis? Good, we can see how much control they really have then. I hope they get a fucking kicking for their role in this.

Incidentally, has everyone noticed that CT has changed his avatar The trolling git.

I suppose you could also argue that the powerbrokers in the City could very easily just abandon the UK. It's not like this is actually an existential crisis for them, just an inconvenience.

Well, that's what I think too - I think control is achieved through narratives more than hardcoded into the system (with the exception of FPTP) but even so, I'm interested in his view on this because it must in some form represent something of a challenge to his worldview? And again, this isn't to be awkward, I'm just curious.

Fucking hell... The guy looks terrified

Should win comfortably but who knows this season. Not a big fan of Wigan though, so I hope it's convincing.

Is that cheating or is that just an extreme form of peer pressure? As in, do they know they're doing it when it happens?

Not unaffordable ones though, I would think. BTW Parky, I remember you saying that this would never happen - that the banks and so on would collude behind the scenes to prevent Brexit happening. I'm not bringing this up to be awkward, but why do you think it's going through despite the harm it seems set to do to such powerful establishment actors?

Weird to see him claiming that he had us in credit in terms of transfers. Surely it was well known that such matters had almost nothing to do with him?

Retros for diving would certainly help the game become less frustrating, but it's hard to see it coming in as teams like Barcelona would suffer badly. I guess you'd also have to decide if someone had just fallen over or not.

I think his point is that other calls can have an equal say in deciding the game, and that if you're going to eliminate all error on things like goals, you should do the same on the others. Not sure I agree though as the rules are applied equally at the end of the day, and both teams have the potential benefit.

Does Gemmill even post any more? He's been AWOL for a while now. Presumably on Reddit with the other "cool" kids.

Don't worry by the way, if brexit is a disaster, Nigel Farage has stated that he will be leaving the country. So there's one inevitable positive. http://uk.businessinsider.com/nigel-farage-will-leave-britain-if-brexit-is-a-disaster-2017-3

Nah I'd say he's right about this one. Good for them. Also, it'll help placate people while they're sending the thought police round for crimes against religions with special status.

That might be the most Daily Mail headline I've seen in some time.

I'm always uncomfortable when anyone mentions 're-education'. Sounds Orwellian.

Fair enough.

What do you think though - should universities be able to discipline professors and students for not using preferred pronouns?

Not looked at Joe Rogan before. I guess I could give it a look but you haven't exactly sold him here The thing with Peterson is that he seems to be a freedom of speech advocate in the truest sense, and simply won't be told what he can and can't say - and that principle alone has landed him in his coveted position as Canadian SJW's Most Wanted. It's laughable in my view, given that cavernous gap in intellect between him and the muppets chanting slogans at him while he tries to talk. I don't know how widespread this sort of thing is, but it does occasionally appear that certain universities in North America are being taken over by these people, and that they're subjecting everything to ideological purity tests. Looks almost religious in terms of how they operate. Have to say mind, Peterson is a bit of an awkward orator. Not entirely sure he's quite realised what he's gotten himself into here.

I haven't. Not sure what bearing that has on anything given that my judgements were based on Canada's government policies rather than an assessment of their populace. For clarity though, I don't think Canadians in general are left wing regressives. I just think that their government is a firm advocate of such things. But then, that's just based on what I read in the MSM, so who knows?

Peterson I've encountered before - I'm not in a position to judge him really in an academic sense as he's clearly more well informed than I am. He does appear to be in middle of the 'culture war' out there, though. I mean, to be fair to him, the videos I've seen of people literally just screaming over the top of him as he attempts to have rational discussions with willing students in an academic environment is frankly pathetic. Seems to be some suggestion that he might be charged with hate crimes soon for not using people's preferred personal pronouns It's all very dramatic.
