She is beyond contempt, fully agree. The Guardian noted that the Daily Mail was the only paper (aside from the FT) not to have this story as it's front page the other day, and also noted that it claimed he killed her because his house was going to be taken off him and given to immigrants. I find that incredible.

So now we're implicated in this paedo nonsense, on a separate claim... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/24/george-ormond

He cited a few other things like the lack of a preseason as well, but that was in there, aye.

I wondered this too...

Did you do military service?

I'd be happy if we exceeded £20m in terms of a statement of intent in fairness. That said, I'm not convinced that these massive amounts are actually bringing in quality for the teams spending them...

Aye tbf to Essembee, it's not like he ever brings up things from the distant past to make an obscure point.

That's quite possibly the reality of the situation but I still have hope that someone will come up with something.

It also wasn't driven by 'the people'. It was driven by 'a select few people'. But anyway, otherwise I grudgingly agree with him - especially concerning where the far left and far right meet, that's a really curious phenomenon. Globalisation is irreversible and the duty of the left to fix it so that the benefits are spread more evenly. The centre-left can't - it "tried" and failed. The left could. Either way, someone needs to come up with an answer and I don't even mind if that person is Blair as long as the solution makes sense.

Blair is so well loved in this country that it's hard to see how such a move could possibly backfire.

Nah, he came about a couple of weeks ago acknowledging that things hadn't gone as planned, and blaming the way his teammates looked at him (in awe, presumably) because of the size of his price tag.

I don't think we can read too much into that. This vote was about immigration (more or less) and economic misery. Not sure many people thought about environmentalism as a long term issue. In better times, if we ever get them, I think it'd be a bigger issue.

These are exactly the sort of non-conventional sex acts that we're looking to ban in this country. Down with this sort of thing!

I see. I was wondering why you'd decided I was overweight for a second... checked my post to see if my bum looked big in it.

Not really in the spirit of the game though, is it

...explain?

I wonder if we should just have a thread of suggestions like this that we could pin and link people to when they come asking. We could use this one once it's fully played out.

It should, aye. I reckon they could even manage it if they presented a united front across all political parties (save UKIP). But they'd need to be able to put something else on the table that took the sting out of immigration. I'm actually starting to think that it would be in the EU's own interests to start talking about this as they're running the risk of losing more than the UK. If the EU staged a climbdown on immigration somehow, or the UK government was able to offer the Brexiters some manner of policy to counterbalance the immigration point, it'd have legs. Those are two tall orders though.

Inevitably. He should be the last one allowed to leave the country ffs. He should be down with the fucking ship. The whole Brexit thing can just fuck off now I mean ffs, if the rats are leaving that should tell you everything you need to know.

That fucking bell end! :lol:

Is that just such a good post that it needed to be shared twice?

So they're pointing to the fact that there's going to be growth? Even though it's less growth than we would have had otherwise? Desperate stuff. I think in a more pragmatic sense, every time the standard of living drops noticeably, we (the 'elites') need to point out that this is because of Brexit. If we do that every time, they'll either listen or kill us.

Cattermole getting sent off early is a surprise mind.
